Poor Whites - South Africa
BackJune 2006
Since the end of apartheid, thousands of white South Africans have been forced into poverty. They blame the government's positive discrimination policies, which favour black employees.
Twelve years ago, Afrikaners like Betsie Dreyer lived a privileged and cocooned life. Now, many are dependent on charity handouts. "We are fighting all the time to survive." The government is determined to see the workforce appropriately reflect the population. It gives black people priority in employment, sets 'black quotas' for businesses and favours companies owned by black people. But critics accuse the government of neglecting its responsibility to white citizens. As union rep Kallie Kriel states: "It's ironic that a government that fought racial laws is now doing exactly the same thing."

LOL. AND THUS Europeans started the international slave trade (which was what I meant previously) that would change the face of this planet for the worst by trading their shitty goods that would only harm Africans in the long term. Slavery had already existed between tribes. Still that cant compensate the damages Europeans have done to Africa. As to the original comment. Theres no point moaning and bitching about your living standards. Suck it up son.

They have the same right to be poor until they develop some actual skills besides making toilet bowl hats and kooky tinfoil lapels.

....and black history(which includes black African history)

True....being black doesn't necesserily make me an expert on being black. But I know a quack when I see one. You obviously know little about black people.

LOL..so an Australian aborigine with straight hair is white? Or perhaps an albino Nigerian is white? Or that a Tutsi or even maasai tribesman with an aquiline nose is white? What constitutes being white(genetically and ultimately phenotypically) anyway? Afterall, we know that most phenotypes and genotypes are found(and originated) in Africa. What would you say about Melanesians, who are miles apart from Africans genotypically but share dark skin, hair texture etc with some African populations?
