Inside South Africa’s Operation Dudula: ‘Why we hate foreigners’
History clearly teaches us nothing as humans!
How anyone in South Africa, after decades of the operation they faced under apartheid, can seek to oppress others for whatever reason, is totally beyond me!
I must admit I didn’t finish reading the article (it’s on the BBC) as it was just too depressing!
But I presume it will be deemed wrong to call it racism? All human races can be racist and indeed what is happening in South Africa is exactly that! And it is ongoing all across the world! It is not just a white on black (using those colours broadly) problem. Yes, the most recent wide for of slavery via the Atlantic was a white on black crime that then morphed into the situations that followed in America and has continued to this day, there and elsewhere, but it was just opportunistic. It is clear that any group of people could have perpetrated the exact same crime on other groups. Not trying to absolve those who committed that travesty, but how in god’s name can one explain what black South Africans are now doing to black foreigners in South Africa?!!
Madness!!!
