Do black people in like jobs in England earn less than their white counterparts?

[boxtops]

No Brinjal, not in the same jobs. Not in the NHS anyway - we get paid the rate for the job, whether we're cleaners or managers or doctors, irrespective of colour.

[Brinjal]

Same goes for here and sth Africa. Not before but since independence yes.

There are a couple of posts here that seem to display a disappointing amount of ignorance when it comes to this subject.

There are around 50 counties in Africa, all of whom are governed by a variety of political parties, and none of whom are (now) governed by a white minority.

To claim that South Africa will go the way of one specific country is...odd.

google murder capital of the world- south americal somwhere

however South Africa 16 000 or 32 per 100 000

compared to Egypt in the grip of political violence about 1000 - 1.2/ 100 000

and England 670 - about 1.2 / 100 000

so it really seems to be dangerous overall

Good to see somebody 'on the ground' (Brinjal) has comprehensively spanked Gromit's backside in this debate!

To add my thoughts, as somebody who lived in RSA from the age of 10 to 25, if I still lived there I would be extremely worried that the beret clad Malema is gaining support among young black South Africans. Quotes such as "We need the land that was taken from our people and we are not going to pay for it" is overtly racist and is exactly the same policy the murderous racist lunatic Mugabe implemented.

I still regluary visit RSA, which is a beautiful country, as I have relatives and friends there, and they all tell me there is a growing and undisguised enmity against the white minority.

SP is aboslutely wrong to suggest we shouldn't compare RSA to Zimbabwe - we most certainly should compare the two because in many respects the RSA of today is not disimilar to the Rhodesia under Simth and therefore the comparison should be made in order to avoid RSA being utterly ruined the way Zimbabwe has been ruined.

Apartheid was an utterly heinous regime, and as aa family who were living there but were English we found it completely bizarre and alien, so we were very pleased when it ended, but without wishing to sound overly melodramatic, I can see apartheid reappearing whereby there will be overt racism againt white people - this is also the opinion of many people I know who still live there.
