During the heyday of the anti-apartheid movement, there was constant condemnation of the governing white minority goverment and even more constant whining about freeing Mandela.
News organizations made a cottage industry of the thousands rioting in the townships and the armed white policemen quelling the masses.
Newspapers cried out about the country's institutional racism and the world condemned the violence afflicting the black majority.
Thirteen years after 'liberation', South Africa is plagued with violence - rape, murder, torture being the featured attractions on the bill. The white Afrikaner minority is subjected to a campaign of genocide and their farms are seized by the corrupt government and handed to people that will reduce that land to dust and plunge the country into starvation. See Zimbabwe.
Where's the outrage? Where is the world-wide call for justice? Where are the U.N. sanctions?
Why is outrage selective?
