Children of post-Apartheid era grow up

and this is what they're up to...

Quote:
Several white students in South Africa face criminal charges after allegedly forcing black campus employees to eat food that had been urinated on.

A video has surfaced which appears to show the students instructing five elderly workers to drink beer and perform athletic tasks.

At one point, the University of Free State employees are apparently forced to eat food which has been urinated on. The rector at the university has strongly condemned the video.

Students and staff joined a protest march at the campus in Bloemfontein, and student groups say they are now planning to call nationwide anti-racism demonstrations.

You forget sometimes that Apartheid is supposed to be over and stuff like this happens to bring it all back.

Re: Children of post-Apartheid era grow up

What do you expect? Discrimination against blacks is still commonplace ina reas with a legacy of white supremacy. For the most part post-aparthied south africa and america are nearly mirror images. Legal barriers are taken down, a black middle class and we pretend equality exists even though large disparities continue to exist. Maybe blacks are just prone to poor cultural habits.
