Hi JOhn,
Next time you may wish to use some of the following statistics, in your BEE argument, which are from South AFrica's Brave New World: The Beloved Country since the End of Apartheid, by RW Johnson. They are quoted here, as stated in:
Why We Are White Refugees Petition to Federal Court Justices, Canada:
--------------------------------------
[4.13] South African Citizens Views on Affirmative Action, and Black Economic Empowerment Laws: A report released by the Helen Suzman Foundation, Who Needs Affirmative Action?, Focus Survey, 19 Sept. 2000, provides evidence of three surveys done, which document that the majority (over 60% of South Africans of all colours, support merit, over AA or BEE):
[4.13.1] A 1994 Post Election Survey on Affirmative Action revealed that 61% of all voters, including 52% of Africans wanted to see appointments made strictly on merit, "even if some people do not make progress as a result".
[4.13.2] A 1996 Survey on Affirmative Action found that only 23% of voters took a hardline position in favour of affirmative action, whereas 54% were clearly opposed believing either that "There should be special training of African/blacks but the best applicants for jobs should be appointed whoever they are," or that "There should be no such policies and jobs must go strictly on merit." A middle group of 22% believed that "preference should be given to African/blacks, but if others are better qualified, they should get the job." Thus 76% regarded merit, not race, as the overriding criterion.
[4.13.3] A June/July 2000 Affirmative Action Survey, found that 22% took a hardline position in favour of affirmative action, while 56% took a hardline position against it, with a middle group declining to 19%.
-----------------------------------------
In short, the only people who want AA and BEE, are the black elite; who are robbing black and white South African blind, by the abuse of BEE and AA....
Furthermore the others who benefit from BEE and AA, are multinational corporations, who are able to manipulate corrupt politicians who do not have South Africans interests at heart, so that these big corporations can be allowed to rape and pillage south africans resources.
The last thing big multinational corporations want is an ethical South African goverment... who make them pay for South Africans resources!
For this reason, they will give their ANC hyena's, black followers, little snippets of rotten meat (like this offering), pretending its all about racial equality; while behind the curtain, they are robbing all South Africans blind...

Salma Yaqoob: Why the EDL must be banned from Birmingham
Asiaticus,
Ms. Yacoob is more than welcome to fans like you.
If she is intellectually incapable of answering a simple question like:
In a choice between being British and being Muslim, which is your priority?
Are you a Muslim first, and british second, or
British First and a Muslim Second?
No wonder she has followers like you…
Clearly you are not interested in a conversation.. Thats okay.
If you ever change your mind, or Ms. Yacoob ever decides she has the intellectual and political courage to answer a very very simple question, let me know…
Till then she is more than welcome to 'respect' from ignorant morons… who lack critical thinking faculties…
Take care

In Defence of Marxism: The contradictions of the post-Apartheid state in South Africa
Re: The contradictions of the post-Apartheid state in South Africa
http://www.marxist.com/contradictions-post-apartheid-state-south-africa.htm
Mr. van Wyk, your analogy of the bus is funny. You are first 'communist' with a sense of humour I have ever come across.
However, like many (capitalists and communists) your analysis leaves out the fundamental foundation upon which all goverment policies are founded: population policy.
May I suggest:
"Karl Marx had it wrong. Class has been a major factor in history; but class is a derivative concept that is based on the ultimate causative power in history: SEX......... Control -- or the claim of control -- over the means of REPRODUCTION has been even more fundamental to history than has control of the means of PRODUCTION."
-- Eve's Seed: Biology, the Sexes & the Course of History, by R.S. McElvaine
http://in-gods-name.co.nr/ as a starting point.
I imagine you may also find Population Policy Common Sense: Exponential Functions and the Laws of Sustainability (http://www.scribd.com/doc/20520277/AA-01-d-09-08-11-Population-Policy-Common-Sense-Exponential-Functions-Laws-of-Sustainability) and The Truth and Forgiveness Social Contract (http://www.scribd.com/doc/20520279/AA-01-d-09-08-11-Population-Policy-Common-Sense-Truth-Forgiveness-Social-Contract) useful.
