Democracy translated wrong in SA



So you know how in America when your practically in the majority group your in the highest ranks. Which I believe that. I mean if your country really has democracy there should be majority and minority groups (the majority should be calling the shots).
Well this talk is about how South Africa doesn't have any of that. South Arica is filled with a black majority government but yet has more poverty and social issues with blacks. Why is that? EVEN THOUGH THE BLACKS ARE THE MAJORITY.


Well let's look at the numbers, since numbers don't lie.
Blacks are majority by 80.2% (what would you expect from a country that has Africa on it).
Coloureds take the stage with 8.8%
Whites with 8.4%
Asians with 2.5%
Now I believe in democracy. Democracy means a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. Other words what the majority of the people want, the majority gets.

Look America has problems, but they have a fair system. USA is where democracy is at it's peak. The whites practically call the shots, which is how it should be because they the deciding members of the country.

We have a lot of racial issues in the world YES. But what I am trying to do is work around it. They say if you can't beat it join it, right? Well I am trying to think of solutions where everyone should be happy. Racism is a issue where we have to solve, but for now lets make each other liveable with and understand fairness. Fairness has it.

Fairness has it that votes should be encountered for for all members.

Here's the issue. Blacks have the highest unemployment in terms of unemployment. Black's have the lowest percentage in entering university. Blacks have the lowest number of land owned. The list goes on and on.

We have black law makers, but clearly a non-black law system. There's no equality in that. 

I admire what President Mogabe did. He did land reformens to accommodate the majority of the country, the black. Don't tell me its because of that land reform the country is dying. That's like telling me that Zimbabwe is dying because there's no white people (that blacks need whites). No!! Zimbabwe was actually doing very very well after the land reform. This was up until the US and Britain place this banner on the country, to stop business with Zim (another story all together).

We talk highly of fairness, well let's take fairness where its supposed to be, in democracy.

Xhosa's in South Africa

Image
Xhosa The Xhosa are the second largest cultural group in South Africa, after the Zulu-speaking nation. The Xhosa language (Isixhosa), of which there are variations, is part of the Nguni language group.    In 2006 it was determined that just over 7 million South Africans speak Xhosa as a home language. Although they speak a common language, Xhosa people belong to many loosely organized, but distinct chiefdoms that have their origins in their Nguni ancestors. It is important to question how and why the Nguni speakers were separated into the sub-group known today. The majority of central northern Nguni people became part of the Zulu kingdom, whose language and traditions are very similar to the Xhosa nations - the main difference is that the latter abolished circumcision. In order to understand the origins of the Xhosa people we must examine the developments of the southern Nguni, who intermarried with Khoikhoi (I wrote a little short story on that a while back...

Afrikaners in South Africa

Image
 Afrikaners in SA Afrikaners are a Southern African ethnic group descended from predominantly Dutch settlers first arriving in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. They traditionally dominated South Africa 's agriculture and politics prior to 1994. Afrikaans , South Africa's third-most widely spoken home language, is the mother tongue of Afrikaners and most Cape Coloureds . It evolved from the Dutch vernacular of South Holland , incorporating words brought from the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia ) and Madagascar by slaves. Afrikaners make up approximately 5.2% of the total South African population based on the number of white South Africans who speak Afrikaans as a first language in the South African National Census of 2011 . Afrikaans/ Afrikaners in the Cape The Afrikaans dialect spoken today originates from the Dutch language spoken by early settlers in the 1600s. However, modern Afrikaans is in fact an accumulation of many other influences, whi...

Khosians in South Africa

Image
Khosians In SA The Khoisan, an indigenous population in Namibia, may once have comprised the majority of living humans on the planet, for much of the past 150,000 years. The Khoisan population declined about 22,000 years ago and again during the 17th century's European colonialists' incursions into Africa. The new study by geneticists published in Nature Communications , reviewed by the journal Science, revealed that the Khoisan, now numbering about 100,000, are a genetically diverse group because of a large ancestral population in the distant past.   The name ‘Khoisan’ generally refers to the hunters and herders of a number of ethnic groups that speak a distinctive click language, although it is not the name that the population use for themselves. Historically, there were two groups of peoples in the Khoisan language family, the Khoi Khoi pastoralists or herders, and the San, who were hunters and gatherers. Today, they are known collectively as the Khoisan. Khoisan...
