NATA trained many black candidates over the years and hugh sums were invested (wasted) to finance the initial training - however most dropped out due to bad performance or failed to pass the theory exams. The few guys that actually made it have become (as or even more) proficient as the white guys and most of them actually do have deserved jobs in the industry.
The other aspect is, that the idea of flying an aeroplane does not really form in their normal day to day culture - so the desire to fly of some potential candidates is not inherent. This might change natually over the years if government persues junior high school education and activates motivation in their youths through exposure to aviation in general - i.e. it starts in the family not politically. If somebody that is black has the aptitude to do this as a carreer and the inner motivation, he or she will be successful and has all doors wide open.
This blaming in the media is just a whole lot of bs.
