Apartheid and It's Continued Effects - By Moses

With the upcoming World Cup of Football being held in South Africa this summer, there will surely be a number of Apartheid related topics being discussed. Has Mandela's South Africa thrived under his influence and continued parties, that are 'Black' Men? Has the South African Economy grown to what economists had predicted upon the so called end to Apartheid? Likewise that of neighbouring Zimbabwe and Nigeria? To what extent have the Lancaster Arms (a land claims treaty signed this past September) helped strengthen the ideology that to be 'Black' within the African content gives you certain privelages that were sidestepped for years under European Colonized countries such as South Africa, Mozambique, Angola, and Guinea?
Let's be perfectly honest. Should you be African-Canadian (noticeably 'Black'), does the continent of Africa bear with it the name of Homeland? While I may be painted a racist for saying such, I would tend to believe that to be the case (hence African-Canadian, African-American). Wasn't the line in the movie Lethal Weapon 2 symbolic when Danny Glover went before the South African Embassy in the U.S.A and told, upon inquiring a visa to South Africa, 'But you're Black.' During September's Lancaster Arms, Zimbabwean President Mugabi went under scrutiny by the United Nations for being vocal for Land Claims for 'True Africans'. While past attrocities occured, what was the fight concerning R.A.F Guerrilla tactics really about? Is being recognizeable by skin tone not obvious enough? To play by the rules of the holier than though Roman Empire (who just last year forgave an already 29 year old dead John Lennon) would just be another kick in the ass, and another way of telling the continent of Africa to 'just let us figure things out for you' attitude. It's kind of ironic that all European Colonies within Africa have something in common; the industrialization of a once virgin Continent. Do problems within Africa exist plentifold? Absolutely, unequivitably yes. With roughly one third of the population run rampant by disease such as Aids and high infant mortality rate, it is somewhat comical (in a sadistic manner) that contraceptives are illegal to roughly half of the Continent (pressured by the Catholic Church). Are the higher orders of the Vatican noticeably 'Black'? My guess to suffice would be less than 1%. While it may be good for the Pontif, how many children need to die before they reach the age of 5, before the Catholic Church rethinks the use of contraceptives?
It would stand to reason that industrialization within Africa is inevitable, but on who's terms and conditions? Do the descendants of Steven Biko have a say? Likewise that of any Man, Woman, and child that is distinctly 'Black'? We should also remember that hatred of the 'Black' man was obvious in American legislation in the South of the U.S.A as recent as 1963, when 'Black' Men and Women were made to sit at the back of the bus, eat in 'Coloureds' only restaurants and Washroom facilities. Our laws have changed, have the realities within our elders really changed that much? Maybe 'Driving Miss Daisy' was an elequent escape from what could have transpired. Could you imagine had Morgan Freeman not replaced that can of tuna?
