Three black men grew up under the same circumstances - one became a citizen, the others criminals of cruelty beyond belief. Liberals would immediately say - they cannot help it, they are poor and it's the legacy of Apartheid.
The apartheid-era was a period of low-grade civil war, with both sides committing atrocities. ANC terrorists were responsible for the death and maiming of thousands (black and white) caused by car bombs, the particularly brutal necklace murders, and even attacks on churches (St James massacre). Those of us who did not actually live under the same circumstances, should be careful to judge those on both sides responsible for violent acts during the conflict for control of land and resources. This was more than a power struggle - it was a fight for the future of a beloved country that hung in the balance between 2 civilizations: 1) the white Africans who brought industrial development and improved food production and health care, and 2) a communist-backed black majority rule with an African track record of anarchy, poverty and decline. What we see happening in South Africa today, proves that the reluctance and fear of those white Afrikaners to relinquish political power, WAS NOT UNFOUNDED.
