How about blacks are at the bottom of the economy because of over 200 years of exploitation and oppression designed to take all the wealth, land and resources and put it into the hands of a few, along with a middle class which was created as functionaries of this same system. Not to mention that not one dime in reparations has been paid back to anyone after all of this, which is only one example of the tremendous crimes against humanity in the name of corporate profits and wealth, but nobody is in jail and nobody has had to pay anything or been punished. And why is it that Africans are expected to put up with this nonsense knowing full well that they are being taken for a ride by sellouts in the government who have sold their people out to the same folks who robbed and raped them.
But these articles are trying hard to cover up the facts that apartheid and the system that was in place before apartheid were all about economics and wealth redistribution. Because they want to pretend that none of this came about on purpose because of intentional policies and practices. Of course not. Because if they did, then they would also have to admit that it was a crime and that someone should be punished and that the black Africans are due reparations. But that isn't fair to the "global economy" now is it? Who said that Africa's wealth is supposed to support and benefit everyone else and not the Africans?
