South Africa: ...and thus us why we csbt have nice things
I'm not sure what is going on over there.
The audit is about to set us free in AZ.
Just think about the status of South Africa before Apartheid ended, it was the model of a prosperous country. I dated a South African woman, and she told me that most blacks in SA were very happy, treated very well, and that they wanted other countries to keep the noses out of SA politics.
No I bet if you could poll all the blacks in SA, and ask them if they wanted to return to White Man rule, they would by large majority say, Hell Yes!!
Been that way for a long time I surmise.
I read this book David Livingstone 1916. Livingstone was quite a fellow. His enduring strength, his faith was amazing. He persisted through trails I don't think I could have endured, but a lot of men of old had that character. Almost all the tribes, kings etc had a high level of respect for DL, and he never abused their kindness.
At times I was left thinking, how can a person treat another person with such callous brutality. The slave trade was going strong by the early to mid 1800's, but I was a bit surprised to read that competing African tribes were doing most of the rounding up of slaves by raiding the villages of other tribes. Sure if the incentive had not been created by the slave traders, there may have been less human trafficking, but there are multiple stories in the book where one tribe attacks a market place, or village, and slaughters everyone, men, women, children. This people treated each other less than human, and had no problem rounding up woman and kids, and putting them in neck yokes to be marched off to slavery.
I spent a week in Johannesburg and hired a guide to take us to a game preserve to see some wildlife. We spent hours in the van talking. When I asked him how life life was post-apartheid he said "Before Apartheid, we had to work as slaves. After Apartheid, we had the choice to work as slaves."
Smart man.
It has something to do with their former president getting arrested, as I understand it...

Remember that old witch RBG? She told SA not to look to the US Constitution for guidance -- seek a more inclusive framework. Their system burns better.
That's the Elephant List of vids man! Thanks
