It's fair to say ending apartheid created all of these problems. The people in control are now from the low educated group you mention. Not surprising things are falling apart. It would be a surprise if it didn't. There needed to be a generational long effort to equalize the populations before you removed aparthheid.
- archagon 3y agoWhat?! Justice cannot be made to wait.
- JoeAltmaier 3y agoWow. Just let racism run rampant for, what, an entire generation? To make the transition more comfortable for armchair sociologists? Sometimes when the house is on fire, you just get everybody out. Instead of 'waiting for the fire brigade' or 'somebody smarter than you needs to make that decision'. I'd hate to be that generation of young people condemned to a violently racist system because, it was going to be difficult for the rich to adjust.
- Gud 3y agoYour analogy is flawed. A more apt analogy would be, that only white people were allowed in the fire brigade(which was also founded by white people). Now diversity quotas have been implemented and the fire brigade is mostly non-white. And now, Joeburg is on fire and the fire department is no longer able to put out the fire because of incompetence and mismanagement.
- JoeAltmaier 3y agoNo, that's exactly it. The new generation needs to be educated and trained. What they don't need is, to remain forbidden from that in a violently racist system. What they have now is to be preferred, even if it takes time to work out.
- ipaddr 3y agoBut you want to skip training and put them in charge. That's what happened and now the place is on fire. You can clutch to your old dogma and let everyone burn because that is what you preferred or be responsible. You wouldn't give a baby a gun but you are because of the color of their skin.
