Words of South Africa

"Wound is still fresh and it's constantly getting picked at, it has never scabbed. Generations my friend, like Mandela mentioned. Generations." -RuanStix

"Yes, apartheid caused these issues. Yes, that sucks. But apartheid is now over, and now it's time to fix these issues, and that, unfortunately, is on us. Everyone in South Africa - black, white, coloured, everyone - is paying the price of apartheid at the moment. The only difference is some of us are doing it from a position of privilege, and we're blinded by that into thinking apartheid was "good" for us. But it wasn't. We're stuck with a country that needs fixing, and we're too divisive and hateful to realise we all need to fix it." -Paradigm240

"Here's an experiment from personal experience, that you can try: Find a home for sale in an affluent part of the city. It will be a white owned property, in what was and mostly still is a whites-only suburb. The agent hired to handle the sale will be white. Get a black person to call the agent. He will be told that the property has been sold. Wait a few minutes and then get a white person to call the same agent from a different number. The home will miraculously be on sale again! Bonus points if the the black person speaks to the agent in English and the white person speaks in Afrikaans. This may not happen every time, but it will still happen much too often. So... good residential space is limited and there's a preferential bias towards one race group to intentionally keep things segregated." -Co7ony

"The Apartheid race designated zones are kept intact for as long as possible." -Co7ony

"The policy of apartheid created a deep and lasting wound in my country and my people. All of us will spend many years, if not generations, recovering from that profound hurt." -Nelson Mandela

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” -Nelson Mandela
