Carol Platt Liebau: Lessons From South Africa
South Africa has been plunged into a heartbreaking, violent mess, triggered by supporters of now-imprisoned former president Jacob Zuma. It looks like an attempted coup.
It’s also a warning for Americans. Starting in 1999, the African National Congress party in South Africa pursued the kind of policies the racial “equity” proponents are pushing here today. Businesses had to meet racial quotas. Government contracts were awarded based only on race.
The consequences have been disastrous. While a small black elite has grown rich, 63 percent of young black South Africans are now jobless and desperately poverty-stricken. No wonder they’ve taken to the streets.
A 2021 survey by the Institute of Race Relations shows how badly the race-centered approach to South African public policy failed. Only 3 percent of black South Africans say racism is a serious problem. But 83 percent fully or partly agree that “Politicians are talking about racism to excuse their own failures.”
Of course. That’s what they do here, too.
We shouldn’t let them get away with it.

We all knowww thisss rrright? Really? We didnt see this coming? Come on! Let's talk about it.
