Ok so now we're being nostalgic about fucking apartheid?

Gimme a break. I'm sooo sorry you had to start treating black people like human beings. I know it's such a drag.

At least we know what's really bugging you.

You are completely misrepresenting my views (again)! It seems that you are disinterested in having a coherent argument, and just like to impress your very warped views onto others.

You know that I was 2 when Mandela was released? I had no voting power. But let’s use your argument on yourself: you are personally responsible for the deaths of one million people in Afghanistan and Iraq (hey, at least you could have voted).

You are also responsible for American slavery and Vietnam. You deserve to be poor and never have a right to anything. You are also responsible for the firebombing of Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

By the way. Why are American Indians still living in reservations? You are responsible for propping up dictators (e.g. Saudi Arabia).

Don't be so quick as to wish other people's rights away for past wrongs. You will find then that Americans do not deserve any.

Whats bugging me is people like you which form impressions on little information but are so sure about themselves (even when they are wrong). Every argument I made, I fully backed up with statistics.

You try the emotional line. A lot of people (like yourself) like to simplify complex situations (hey 11 national languages – SA can’t be that complex!) into simple little black and white views – unable to have any nuanced views.

Such simplifications only led to pain and suffering – and some genocide (e.g. Gukurahundi).
