Why is the eye of the world on south africa racism when racism is just as big in the uk and us .?

Answer 1

It's not as big in the U.S. and U.K. as it is in South Africa. Racism exists in all parts of the world but in South Africa, it was only until recently that racism was codified in its national laws.

And assuming you were correct, are you suggesting that two wrongs would make a right? (Just because one robber can't be captured, should we stop arresting the rest?)

Or, if you're suggesting that hypocrisy exists in mankind, all I can say is "Welcome to Earth."

Answer 2

Racism reigns in some form or the other in many countries of the world. In South Africa the level was too high.

Answer 3

amazing question. lots for the Utopia on earth that the media made us have faith could ensue as quickly as the white guy replaced into booted out of ability there. With all this racist violence going on there perhaps the laptop brigade are putting their heads in shame or sneaking back below rocks whilst confronted with the reality - South Africans are no longer friendly ' Rainbow human beings'. via fact the whites have been ousted, South Africa has exchange into the main violent place on earth next to Columbia. basically the place is that this paradise on earth that the anti-apartheid protesters promised all those years in the past?? the government their have had greater beneficial than adequate time to get their homestead so as. back, this is basically yet another occasion of the chaos that the liberal bleeding hearts could reason in the event that they get their way on something. good judgment and reason is going out the window whilst those all and sundry is given any say in concerns that they do no longer in all threat understand. I repeat your preliminary question - basically the place is the condemnation of those murders from the left wingers and their cohorts?? As you're saying - The silence is deafening..!! BTW Has Saint Nelson Mandela stated, or maybe regarded, something in any respect with reference to the murderous racism his 'Rainbow human beings' are showing??

Answer 4

In all actuality, racism is NOT as big in the US as it is in SA (no authority on UK, sorry.). Yes, there is racism, but everyone is so politically correct and afraid of offense over here, most don't dare do so. And what you do see, it is on both sides... when a black is in large white area, there's that angle of racism. However, racism is just as bad if there's a white in a large black population... and for everyone's information, both white and black rappers suck.

I know a white family that moved nearby from SA. Being white in SA is practically a death sentence; it's a nightmare. They didn't move here, it's more like they ESCAPED here...

Answer 5

I think in South Africa the white population, whom descended from Europe, hence came with a relatively simmilar background and paradigm of superiority to Souh Africa, reacted to the existant cultures in precisely the way European immigrants reacted in other colonies. They exploited their more destructive technology to dominate and oppress and justified their actions through religion. The difference came in numbers (whites are still a small minority in South Africa). In America the European murdered the natives almost into extinction and in the UK the colonial goverment chose not to allow to many immigrants from their colonies of non-European descent into the UK, but rather to exploit the resources and communities far from the critisism of liberated and enlightened intellectuals. So the numbers in both the UK and the US favour the whites for whom equal treatment never posed the treat of handing over power to a previously oppressed angry masses seeking justice and some revenge. This fear of reprisals as well as the fact that many of the whites (2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc generations) had no ties to their original counties of origin and thus had nowhere to escape in the event of a colapse kept many white South Africans from reliquishing their power. To justify this crafty policies of so-called equal but separate and culture bound development were devised and the good lord were also misquoted to this end. So I think the past is proof that the comfort and security of many whites in the US and UK made liberal thinking possible sooner, but when this is challanged rasism will quickly re-ignite, as this time of terror is revealing already.

Answer 6

south Africa set a good example when they abolished apartheid. racism may be "big in the UK", but please don't say "big in us". there certainly is a problem with racism in the world, but the individual can't change that, only themselves. which is a good place to start and a good example to set don't you agree ?

Answer 7

Apartheid. Systematic racism practiced by the state, not the prejudices of individual bigots, but a planned social system which deliberately excluded the majority population of a country merely because of the colour of their skin.

Answer 8

more often than not, it is because in south africa it is still almost completely directed toward one large group of people....namely black africans. in other parts of the world, the racism is spread out......Nazis hate everyone that is not anglo-saxon.......KKK are the same, for people in the us and uk, directing racism toward a group of people that went through so much and have emerged from the persecution is just barbaric and backwards......

Answer 9

racism isn't limited to those three places. Its also in iraq, iran, isreal, korea, japan, china, vietnam, the camen Islands.. and so on. Its a fact, we were taught to say ewwie he's a different color and we all do it, even you.

Politically speaking, wouldn't you want all the countries on your side if a big war was staring you in the face? Just as I thought.

Answer 10

Your question hints at paranoia.

US racists say the same things..."Look at south Africa...what about China"
all racism, everywhere is stupid!
