Africans need a racial war. Not some war based on small made up differences.


Crackers robbing them blind for billions but yet they attack other Black people.

They really might be retarded.

Even this site is microcism of this behaviour. We are only kumbayah with non-black races. Anyway....

It's a pretty terrible look. Even worse that these attacks have been going on for months and is only recently being acknowledged by SA government.

Worst part is there are Indian and Pakistani immigrants doing the EXACT same as the Somali/Ethiopian immigrants but we never see violence towards the Indians.

:snoop:

Yeah it is irrational considering they're not interested in setting up these types of shops. Black foreigners who are making it are just an easy target.

What they did to that Somali guy was messed up. Instead of creating their own businesses to compete against African immigrants, they resort to violence. Ironically countries like Somalia were advocates against the apartheid.

Actually, local shops existed. In many cases the immigrants came through offered lower prices, opened earlier, closed later and had larger variety. House shops of locals were forced to close because they were not willing to compete.

I know alot of smart Ethiopians who go to South Africa to start businesses there because the cost of a startup is generally less expensive and corruption in Ethiopia means that if you dont have government connections or if you dont belong to the ruling ethnic group, its difficult to succeed. Actually ive heard of many cases where government officials were holding monopolies on certain sectors of the economy and sabotaging competition from rival tribes. These Ethiopians are starting legitimate businesses in South Africa because of the fukked up situation in Ethiopia

Matters are much worse with the youth: the unemployment rate in the 18 to 24 age category stood at 49% for the narrow definition and 64% when discouraged youths are included.

With such high levels of youth unemployment and high levels of inequality it is unsurprising there is now much discontent and anger. And immigrants, particularly those from other African countries, present an unfortunately attractive target: They often trade and live in townships where the problem of unemployment is likely to be the most grave. And since migrants are rarely a random sample, they tend to do better, at least economically, than the locals.

Yet anger is misplaced, as has been said earlier it is irrational.

There is also an opportunity for the authorities to shape a positive narrative around African immigrants in South Africa. They can, for instance, stress some facts around how migrants create jobs as opposed to taking them and how trade secrets are already being transferred to the locals.

The xenophobic attacks are limited to low income areas breh, it's the poorer immigrants that are being burnt alive in the streets, the ones with less means. The middle class legitimate immigrant business men will likely not get attacked until they set foot in a low income area.

In addition, this is the long term african story. Economic migrants have alwayd existed...in the case of africa. Several african countries have flourished at different times which entice an influx of african migrants looking for prosperity.

Ghanaaians going to Nigeria and vice versa....each group expelled the other....they still have beef to this day about it.

Togo flourished at one point...congolese/Nigerians/etc...migrated as well created tension between native populatioon, etc.

The issue with african countries is the constant instability, things are quick to flare up whether economic/political/tribal/etc...and when they do it is catastrophic....massacres....etc...

Conflict will always exiat that is human nature and at times it can actually be positive. However, with africans they are not able to channel anger/conflict to create better outcomes and it seems they are perpetually starting over. If Black south africans manage to kick out a bulk of their whites/indians but are economically crippled they will become laughing stock and will further contribute to the insensitivity that non-blacks already have for black suffering.

I.e/ these people complain about discrimination but can't run their own countries without us.

in the one hand, we complain of discrimination at their hand on the other hand we struggle to self-empower and becoming economically/politically independent. So we keep extending our hands to outsiders and the cycle of disrespect/patronizing continues.

I honestly believe now that africa's issue isn't corruption inherently. It's the level in which corruption operates and how it is so crippling that it makes it hard to have a well-functioning/prosperous society.

Its crazy that there are Pro-Black, progressive movements In South Africa like ‪#Rhodes Has Fallen‬ and ‪‎Rhodes So Swhite‬, Transform Wits,‬ and ‪‎Open Stellenbosch‬ coinciding with the xenophobic attacks in Durban. SA is going through the growing pains of a young nation built on misery.

Apparently South African workers are scared to work in other countries due to retaliation.
