But it is easy to look at these things in a moralistic way with the benefit of hindsight. But when the white settlers arrived the black tribal populations were in various phases of development that Europeans had been through, in some cases, thousands of years beforehand - stoneage upwards. The minority white settlers built properity from scratch and could not safely have offered democracy to the indigenous population until their level of cultaural development (for want of a better term) was suffcient. At what point in SA's history that was, I do not know. But given, the "land of the free" (USA) treated its black population represensibly until just a few years before apartheid collapsed with far less "reason" maybe the timing was not too far wrong?

Sometimes I think you've reached the depths of your unpleasantness, and then you go and surprise me all over again.
