    Wow. You really have NO idea about what South Africa experienced at the hands of Europeans and apartheid.

    And, then you use THAT as a justification for .. WHAT?

    Just consider the 20th century alone and you have all kinds of mayhem. Tens of millions murdered.

    It's the Mandela effect, where a mass group of ppl imagine something never happened (apartheid).

    True. In fact, we're the major supplier of arms to the world.

    You seem to be confused.

    Not a Muslim ban.

    The CNN article proved it.

    Yes, I think people just don't understand how serious the damage of colonialism and apartheid was.

    The native population was excluded from government and leadership, leaving the nation without a history of trusted government and with the population desperately poor. The Native's Land Act of 1913 allowed natives to buy land only within a region that was less than 1/10th the size of South Africa.

    One can't say enough about Mandela's phenomenal contribution. Every nation on Earth needs more people like Mandela.

    To think some people (you) think it OK to be racially genocidal. It isn't.

    ?? No, I don't believe it is OK.

    But, for us to consider SA such an affront totally dodges OUR contribution to making it so.

    Those pointing at SA should be MAJORLY embarrassed, as besides our part in that, using SA as an example to compare to the USA is unbelievably cheap BS.

    Translation: It's OK to be racially genocidal sometimes. No. It isn't.

    I have NEVER suggested it is OK.

    I will ALWAYS point out that the western world had a hand in SA apartheid, AND that using that as an excuse for America is flat out idiotic.

    You mentioned that millions are dying in wars around the world and we just explained to you how USA is the biggest arms dealer in the world. Put 2 and 2 together.

    1st, after dropping 2 nukes on Japan, most of the rest of the Japanese were still alive and in Japan. Hardly a genocide. 2nd: the US helped rebuild that nation, "After the defeat of Japan in World War II, the United States led the Allies in the occupation and rehabilitation of the Japanese state. Between 1945 and 1952, the U.S. occupying forces, led by General Douglas A. MacArthur, enacted widespread military, political, economic, and social reforms." https://www.google.com/search?chann...1-d&q=did+the+us+help+rebuild+japan+after+ww2 Japan, with the USA's help, became one of the most powerful economies on Earth. Even though they had to shut down their Korean "comfort rooms". Hope that answers your question.

    We do have an idea of what South Africa is going through now that it is a failed state.

    Again, what does that have to do with what we were talking about? The prevailing empire is ALWAYS the largest arms dealer. Everybody knows this.

    The key to moving forward is...moving forward. You cannot move forward while seeking retribution from those who were not involved. You simply extend while exacerbating the problem
