I can't understand the attitude of some people. The ANC ran a very successful smear campaign against apartheid in Europe and the US. Now the whites that lived in South Africa during apartheid were from Germany, France, Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, Australia, the Netherlands. The Afrikaners are like 50% of the locals - the rest immigrated to South Africa from 1850 to 1990.

The apartheid laws were made up by some Afrikaner politicians. What were they: separate schools, separate churches, separate cities. That was it: live apart in separate cities and territories. The only really oppressive laws was with regards to business ownership in white cities and with stock market ownership. The blacks couldn't start businesses in white cities - but Soweto was there - 1 million people lived there, entirely electrified by 1978. Wikipedia Soweto. The black people could get technicon and university degrees and diplomas and they did. Mandela did, and the rest did.

So whites received better services than blacks, but whites paid 78% of the taxes - they spent 56% of the national budget on black people. The whites were busy creating new countries to be recognized by the international community. Unfortunately at that precise time, South Africa was being attacked by the USSR. The US asked South Africa: President Ford phoned PM Voster, he said: the US cannot afford another Vietnam, you have to stop the Soviet and Cuban advance in Angola. So 80% of that force sent was black. The whites were generally the officers and the blacks were the soldiers fighting for capitalism. It was a massive war - 3 million dead and 6 - 9 million displaced - the USSR spared no lives or no expensive. In total Cuba sent 350,000 soldiers within 15 years to try and gain Soviet control over the entire Southern Africa. The USSR sent 11,000 officers. The Soviets spent more than $1.5bn a year on weapons. MRAP that the Americans and Canadians and the international forces use in Iraq was developed during those wars of 20 years against terrorists that planted more IEDs than than those in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. The Soviet backed rebels that the liberals in the West backed walked into cities and started firing on people in the streets. Everything that moved. The rest were all taught Marxism. These were the people the liberals wanted to support. Rather these rebels win political power than to see the colonies continue....

During this war, the apartheid laws wasn't fair towards everyone and black South African people wanted change. So the country had to change, but Soviet spies had infiltrated the black political parties. So the whites couldn't just take a chance and hand over political power to the USSR and its friends. 4 to 5 million whites in Africa had by that point, been killed or chased out of Africa. The West didn't really want help Nelson Mandela for political reform in South Africa, so he went to the USSR and liberals in Sweden and London for help.

Together they started a most vicious campaign - lying about everything - in order to get political power and democracy in South Africa. When the UN started taking statistics in 1994, they saw it was just lies to get political power for the majority. You must remember these people killed thousands of their own people by pouring petrol over them and setting them alight. Check the thousands of blacks that died at their hands. They burned down houses of anyone that did not accept Marx and Lenin. That immediately should tell you that they are not good people. They are liars. The greatest liars in history. MRAP is a defensive technology - that shows you the character of the white people that live here in South Africa. The USSR planted 60 million landmines ( IEDs ) in Africa - that shows you how brutal the USSR tried to win every colony they could. Today those landmines still kill thousands upon thousands of black people throughout Africa a month. Cripple them throughout Africa.

So after Reagan and Thatcher and many other countries supported apartheid South Africa to the very end the US Democratic Party turned against apartheid South Africa in 1986 when the Soviets broke through the South African defence lines in Southern Angola - they had used chemical weapons at Jamba to overrun the headquarters of UNITA. So the world turned decidingly against apartheid after the US had spent 7 VETOS defending apartheid South Africa, after Britain and France had both used 6 of their VETOS defending apartheid South Africa at the UN.

It's an enormous history. It is obviously impossible to give a complete record of what really happened. But the whites were always trying to maintain civilization, colonization. With the good and the bad that came with it. If you look at the economies of those new pro-Marxist countries, they collapsed completely. It is only Angola and Botswana that has come out stronger. The whites have been lucky to get someone like Mandela, he wanted peace after decades of war, he allowed whites to do business in Africa without fear. The peace treaty signed with him. He held influence and they also gained immensely because South Africa was at that time, overwhelmingly stronger than almost all the African countries combined. The hope was to keep pace with Australia.
