Awww @buckaroo, I will never understand man's inhumanity against man! Black, white, orange, purple ... don't care... it's shameful and disheartening and so very sad. I follow the news less and less these days, but I must say that I have never seen anything on the plight in SA; somehow the world tends to forget most of Africa it seems when "things" are going on. But, I would never be so arrogant as to suggest that I know more about life there than you do, or @breezin for that matter.
The world is often a sad state of affairs.
A sad state indeed @lynncoyle1. It is quite disgusting that there is aggression towards one another because of skin colour. It also grieves me that the news is not generally known
There seems to be so much of "Africa" that is generally unknown ... Rwanda, Darfur...so sad. I remember teaching the state of Darfur to my students and they were shocked that they'd never seen it on the news. So much terrible happens around the world, but mainstream media just doesn't publicize it. Drives me crazy actually.
