Why is that all people with something hateful about South Africa refers to black people. South Africa is made out of diverse cultures and rates. It says a lot about their state of prejudice. They are all racists and have no place in our democratic society and they can just go whine and nag in other countries.

Alfie, Alfie, Alfie. Those stats you are quoting, when exactly have you conducted your research to come out with those conclusions. South Africa, first of all is not a communist economy, nor is communism opposite of democracy. You must be leaving in your own world of hate. How the hell have we been given a seat he UN security council if we are not democratic. Our economy has been growing rapidly. We hosted the rugby world cup in 1995, CAF in 1996 and we will be hosting the world cup in 2010. Statistic that.

Democratic? All the Communist regimes claim to be democratic and you are deluded or have never experienced democracy if you believe South Africa is democratic. As for the racism thing- didn't your own Newspapers in a recent survey find that Blacks were the most racist of the population. Try asking the Somali refugees in Cape Town who have seen more than 30 of their number murdered in the last few months. Go and look at your crime figures and then analyse who is committing 99% of the crime.Look at your ANC politicians with there kleptocracy and the fact that at least 75% have a recent conviction for fraud. Or try Boesak,Yengeni or even Zuma for his view on what constitutes rape and fraud. Try Mbeki and Dr Beetroot who have overseen the deaths of hundreds of thousands of South Africans with their views on AIDS and the treatment thereof. Try Selebi with his gangster links and too scared to go to Court because the truth will emerge.It is not about race but about sheer ignorance and stupidity and the Leadership in that respect comes from the very top.
An after thought- Are you related to the Minister of Safety and Security ( an oxymoron)? He holds the same view about "whingers should leave the Country."
What stats are you talking about? The Somalis? You can read that on News24 or IOL. Your seat on the UN is no more than some crumbs from the main table. You will not affect any decision as you are a minor player. Go to the ANC site and read about the background of every ANC politician from Mandela on. They are all Communists and Communism in most senses is the opposite to Democracy and a failed system. Your economic growth is fundamentally built on domestic expenditure and foreign investment because of the higher returns at present. There are no new factories being built or jobs growth. Unemployment runs at 40% ( 25% + 15% not actively looking for employment according to the ANC i.e the victims of your racist employment laws) and what happened to your currency on the back of the crime figures and current account deficit? It has lost 25% to 30% of its value in 6-8 months. That is an International vote of confidence in your Country.As for the Rugby so called World Cup and CAF. These are minor tournaments in comparison to the FIFA World Cup and were held at a time when South Africa was not the crime ridden toilet it is today. Dont bet on getting the 2010 World Cup. You haven't even started building Stadiums and voices of concern are being expressed all over the World including FIFA who have to pay for it because you are the first Country who cannot stand on their own two feet and finance it. Few people from the 1st World will attend which leaves you with the locals who cannot afford the price of the tickets + your average attendance at Bafana matches is less than 7000. So what does that spell? Another African disaster but to the point. Firstly you need to improve your cognitive abilities and spelling before you make a fool of your self in making allegations. The simple facts are that more than 90% of crime in South Africa is committed by Black people. That is a fact not a racist comment. Your crime is ANC led when you consider that 75% of their Politicians hav e a recent fraud conviction. Your Commissioner of Police is under investigation by the Scorpions and is publicly accused of being a gangster and taking bribes. The Head of your Prison Services was arrested for drunken driving last week and is currently under investigation for misuse of public funds. He has now taken a new job as Head of Security for the 2010 World Cup no doubt due to his ability to milk the system and thereby get as much money out of FIFA as possible. If you would like me to continue with tales from your failed Rainbow Nation then let me know.
I only now see the drivel posted by LRF who was recently voted a twisted little tosser. That says it all. If you take his twisted logic and apply it in Europe and the US it doesnt work. The violent crime is still in the main committed by Asians and Blacks.

I feel you are overgeneralizing matters. What you notice is a further stereotype. Whites on the whole are absolutely no longer afraid to combat again, and the equal is going for each and every race. Individuals would have quite a lot of reactions relying at the occasions, however black on white violence are nonetheless suggested similarly and Hollywood does not glamorize any exact race. If you feel that blacks are normally portrayed as sufferers or intellectuals... you probably overlooking the truth that countless different Hollywood films additionally painting whites as sufferers or intellectuals. Did you notice a black James Bond? I do not feel so. In Breach... did you notice a black sufferer? No, proper? As for the white populace being sixty seven%, it is comprehensible considering America is a various nation, made of a mess of cultures, religions, and races. It's why America is so powerful. Having a bit of of the whole thing (and mostly the fine of the whole thing) makes America exact. If America is Great Britain, in which each person is white, it should not have the equal manpower, numerous ideas, and variety of capability. As in your trouble approximately anti-white... it might be approximately anti-neo nazis or anti-kkk. Otherwise, I do not see any hate corporations that goal white men and women on the whole.

Because stereotyping is easier to practice and believing anecdotal evidence is the norm for those people. Blacks account for the largest percentage of the South Africa populace. Because of this it stands to reason that their would be more black criminals than white, coloured or Asian. It's simple mathematics.

However because the majority of criminals are black people they then assume that all criminals are black and that all blacks are criminals. It's a trite generalisation. The problem with relying and believing that type of argument is that it's hardly based on factual evidence but hearsay or anecdotal evidence.

What's wrong with anecdotal evidence? I'll let Wikipedia handle that one:

"Anecdotal evidence is an informal account of evidence in the form of an anecdote, or hearsay. The term is often used in contrast to scientific evidence, especially evidence-based medicine, which are types of formal accounts. Anecdotal evidence is often unscientific because it cannot be investigated using the scientific method. Misuse of anecdotal evidence is a logical fallacy and is sometimes informally referred to as the "person who" fallacy ("I know a person who..."; "I know of a case where..." etc. Compare with hasty generalization). The problem with arguing based on anecdotal evidence is that anecdotal evidence is not necessarily typical; only statistical evidence can determine how typical something is."

"In all forms of anecdotal evidence, testing its reliability by objective independent assessment may be in doubt. This is a consequence of the informal way the information is gathered, documented, presented, or any combination of the three. The term is often used to describe evidence for which there is an absence of documentation. This leaves verification dependent on the credibility of the party presenting the evidence."

Obviously they are stupid bigoted people.

They probally can't afford to travel, let alone visit Africa to see if thier stereotypes are true.

They go by hearsay of what others said about Africa.
