I visited Johannesburg on several short occasions for work during the 1980s, when the "apartheid" racial segregation was still a thing. A nice country but the ruling whites had ruined it. It was not enough that they were on top and very rich they had to act like tyrants and make sure everyone knew who was boss and get their asses kissed.
I expected that the black people (I am white) would give me hell but they were actually quite nice people. Unless maybe just putting on a nice face so I would tip them but I don't think so. My white ex-pat colleagues on the other hand, some of them were OK, but most of them beer-swilling low-IQ unfortunates.
From what I see now the black people (tribalistic and different mindset as purkiss80 says) have swung the other way and now they want to smash everything to show their power. It's wrong but if you whip a dog it's gonna bite you.
A real shame because I liked the place (even though I stayed in Hillbrow which is like Baltimore.)
Hmmm? Sounds like what we are seeing in major US cities where law and order have broken down. Coincidence?
