@CHATMASTER -- what I (we) owe the ANC is appreciation on account of the fact that it knocked over one of the most evil social engineering systems in history and gave us freedom.

@AndyD - I would agree that tragically we now have a fragmented populace who see themselves as being in "camps". The really bad aspect is that many feel alienated.

Might I tempt you to see that we don't only have an "us" (Blacks) and "them" (Whites) social phenomenon. We also have "the other", i.e, Coloureds, Indians .... I had already written a book about this - http://theother.orgfree.com/

Not surprisingly we now have a telling documentary - "I'm Not Black, I'm Coloured - Identity Crisis at the Cape of Good Hope" by Mondé World Films - .

@Dave A - Thank you.
