Sadly, the people waiting in the wings are far, far worse.

Look for South Africa to become the next Zimbabwe.

What we have in that country is a textbook case of the "apartheid" government, and the Mandela government. The comparison is a sharp contrast in effective governance.

Another case of revisionist history.  The turning of a bomb thrower into a martyr/hero of the state.

Yes Apartheid was wrong.  Yes it was right to resist it.

But when you dig down and see what the ANC and Mandela was really all about...you realize he should have stayed in jail.

I'm not getting "Apartheid was wrong". If you compare the results of Apartheid, and it's governing successor, Apartheid provided a far better standard of living for all. Is it "wrong" that the people who effectively knew how to run a country, who had the education, training, experience were white ?
We are seeing in this country that it's not a good idea to elect someone solely based on the color of their skin.
