I had to laugh at the irony of the front page headline Sunday Times article, entitled: 'BLACKS ARE THE BIGGEST RACISTS', which went on to explain in more detail of course. The gist of it was that those interviewed (the article states that they were consistent with the nations demographic statistics) felt that they were routinely discriminated against by other blacks. The numbers they quoted indicated that those interviewed felt it occured more frequently than being discriminated against by whites. Whilst reading it, I was just waiting for somebody to whine 'It's all apartheid's fault!', and sure enough, there it was at the bottom of one of the columns, attributed to a certain Tinyiko Malukleke, UNISA's Executive Director of Research. They couldn't fail to play the old faithful 'blame apartheid' card YET AGAIN!
