Of course it cannot work there. Formerly they were kept in check, not so nice, ok, but nowadays, have you ever seen a chessboard match without any white figures? That's simply impossible.

It will take more than 30 years to remove the stench of apartheid after 46 years of its brutal rule. Under British rule for 155 years.

The ANC and their cohorts completely destroyed a once great nation, it’s never coming back.

An apartheid supporter. Why should I be surprised?
bass4funk
No
I’m not surprised that you would make a statement like that.

Your claim
"The ANC and their cohorts completely destroyed a once great nation, it’s never coming back."
means you consider apartheid to have been a great nation. You can't have one without the other.
bass4funk
No, I never said nor implied that
According to whom, because you say so?
wallace
bass4funk
On logic.
You claimed the once white-dominated nation was great. It was also a white nation built on apartheid. So you couldn't have one without the other.
The destiny of the nation is now in the hands of the majority of the people.

If you take away apartheid and just look at society as a whole at how it was, it was better, the rule of law prevailed, so yes, it was a better society, a well and functioning society
We know that, no need to play the encyclopedia boss again, anyway, the point is we all know what apartheid was, but look at South Africa now, is it functioning with the murder rate, what is the rape rate in that country has a country so far after a apartheid not good that’s for sure.
And it’s a dark and bad one.

you cannot separate the white-dominated nation from the apartheid it was built on.
The rule of law prevailed because the whites brutally punished the blacks. They even shot young children and teenagers who dared to demonstrate.
Your white revisionism is not the accepted truth.
More blacks died under apartheid than now under black rule. 46 years of oppression.
Is that a racist comment?
bass4funk
Yes, you absolutely can because blacks have now governed the country since Apartheid ended, you can keep making excuses all you want, but that’s on them
Wait, before you go on, I already know the history.
No, the truth is, the blacks have not done a good job at running the country, that’s a fact, nothing racist in pointing that.

Ok, so as in typical liberal fashion forget the deaths of whites and the rapes and other blacks.
If you want to make everything a racial issue, that’s on you.

'Apartheid and Jim Crow are really no different': Why George Floyd's death reverberated in Africa

Apartheid no longer exists but it did when you claimed the once great white nation. In that era, apartheid could not be separated. Apartheid was racist.
It will take more than 3 decades for the country to recover from apartheid.

The successes and failures of the country are now on the majority people.
bass4funk
I agree
Again, SA was a better run nation excluding Apartheid, that’s an indisputable fact.
At this rate, probably never before if the people want to blame apartheid for their problems going forward, then SA is doomed. Take responsibility for your own actions and going after white farmers and taking their land or killing them is never the answer and won’t help that struggling nation.
Yes, and sadly, they’re failing at it.

All the majority black nations, some of the anti-apartheid white supporters, and millions of people in other countries would disagree 100% with you. The white success was built on the backs of the black minority. The success of the nation was only for the whites.
It will take more than 3 decades for the country to recover from apartheid.
It will take decades for a new nation. How long it it take the USA after British rule and civil wars?
It's theirs to fail.
bass4funk
I don’t care, the official body count doesn’t lie.
Ok, I said that gives the black reasons to take the rights of the whites away??
Now it’s not even for the blacks, but for the corrupt elite.
At this point, I doubt that will ever happen
Completely different nations, different cultures, different scenarios how is Haiti or Somalia?
Yup!

Many white farmers obtained their lands by stealing the land of the blacks. The same happened in Rhodesia. The whites didn't want to share the land so it was taken from them.

Two wrongs don't make a right. If the original thieves are dead, it can be just as bad to leave the current owners destitute.
bass4funk
I’m sorry, but what does it have to do with the hundreds of farmers to have been killed over the last 10 years? And still. But yes, two wrongs don’t make a right.
wallace
Only 5-10% of farmers are blacks.
