Or at least we try to do it here, but apparently flag-burning and gay marriage are more important than lifting peopel up out of poverty.
I'd agree with you I don't really support Apartheid and as long as integration works more power to it. If it fails however I guarantee whites in Africa will not be fooled again by the ideas that the past can be absolved. And you can look at that as a tragedy. So hence it's in the world's best interest to see that integration works.
