I find it quite funny that politicians have this theory, that increasing or making BEE/AA more broad based, will change the fact that most of the wealth is still in "white" hands? No matter how broad based you make it, it will never reverse the trend unless you empower people. It's not even a color thing. During Apartheid there were many Black men who became massively rich. It has to do with opportunity and an inner desire to succeed.

You simply have to change the entitlement mentality or you will keep failing! If the penny does not drop that with everything they've done to change that, we will be even worse off! It has not only failed but the gap got bigger, Yes sure there has been some ""victory"" with the poor whites, richer Blacks increasing. The poor whites also need to be empowered, or we are just shifting the problem not solving it. I dare say that we are also setting them up to fail as they mostly survive on handouts too now?

You have to emulate the "Rich'es"  game. That game is resolve, ingenuity, hard work and a will to succeed. Add education,planning  and respect and you're almost there,. Then being literate helps quite a bit too! He who fails to plan plans to fail.

Black people have another disadvantage!Its really a cultural problem. African culture is sitting around waiting on the chief. He does not tell you to get off your ass, you stay put. And wait for the handout! The new SA looks pretty close to that anyway? Plus the chief answers to no man? Can you see how the money can disappear without anybody really stopping it. He rules, he also makes the rules? Like it's been for ever!

Back to my point. Innovation is not high on the African agenda!Liberal guilt has left us with handouts and what I believe the biggest insult to growing able citizens, AA! We are giving fish, not teaching anybody anything! Liberals also have this, we are all the same lie! We are not. Some people just have more drive, intelligence, ability than others. Some just have to work harder to get the same result! That's life. You're not going to change that. What you can do though, is make sure each person develops to the full potential we all have. It may not have the same result but It's way better than the poverty people in this country face every day! That gets done with education and training and making sure the opportunities get created.

Taking from one to give to another is not creating it's diluting. WE need more entrepreneurs! We also need competition. That creates excellence. Stop letting politicians lead you by the nose, and selling their lies for votes!  WE are all going down. Only way is to stop the rot and waste of resources on grants. We need education and opportunities. Soon!
