Imagine being subject to a separate law because of your ethnic group. Imagine having no choice over who your leaders are. Imagine not being allowed to have a lawyer at a legal hearing. Imagine being told that your case can't be heard because you're a woman and your victory would "make women disrespectful" to their husbands. Imagine being sentenced to forced labor. And imagine that you can't opt out of this system.
wait where have i seen this before seems and feels so familiar, all over Africa, Russia in the old days,Iran, Syria?
oh i know why it sounds familiar, it's the road to right wing governing and the future shock of America, if f we allow it. Rev. Al, " a lot of things were acceptable, before we stopped accepting them"
Apartheid tumbled in South Africa in 1994. But if the proposed Traditional Courts Bill (pdf) makes its way into South African law, the above may become a reality for an estimated 17 million South Africans -- all of them black, most of them poor and living in rural areas formerly defined as "homelands" for black South Africans under apartheid.
just when you thought there was some sanity and compassion in the world Apartheid and the right wing rears it's ugly Medusa like head of anarchy.
it's true in the rest of the world as it is here in America. they have a God complex. you know who you are.
