No, no they have not. Read Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jerrod Diamond. It's a great book and filled with not just the history of Africa.

ALL violent crime is reprehensible, and a big problem in South Africa. ALL races are victims, take another look at the links I posted earlier. Are you saying

I should be more concerned about the white victims?
I'm really unclear what it is you are insinuating.
No, but if they were all White victims you would not be here.

Funny thing is, it was/is blacks killing blacks just like here in the USA.

You use the word slavery loosely, none of these people were held against there will and they were paid for there work. Poor working conditions and lousy pay? Probably, but they had a choice and they stayed. So, lets be careful how we use the word slavery.

Seemingly, other countries colonised by the whiteman did not endorse apartheid up until 1994 - and curiously they managed to be quite industrious, and advanced economically.

I'm interested, how a policy such as apartheid, which is classified as a crime against humanity, has one single advantageous element to it.
The White man invented and kept the economy going and since it's been turned over, the economy is a mess and corruption runs ramped, just like every other country in Africa that is run by blacks.

Imagine that! Tribal warfare, genocide. Take a look at black run countries in Africa, they are all a mess fighting for power.

I do think Zuma the new South African President will be a lot tougher on Mugabe, time will tell.
