#1 Except in South Africa the whites were a minority with incredible guilt over Aparthied which had only recently ended while in the USA whites are the massive minority and most of our guilt is gone after the civil war and dozens of attempts to rectify the problems and guilt.

#2 In SA, blacks were 80% of the population. Whites were already fleeing in droves prior to the hand-off to the ANC, driving up the black proportion of the population. Stateside, blacks are only 10% of the population. And getting smaller, thanks to massive Latin American immigration.

#3 The article applies the sequence of events in SA to what is happening with Mexicans and other third world immigration here. It is not about American blacks. I would also question just how far we have left white guilt behind after teaching multiculturalism and PC in the public schools for an entire generation.

#4 I just don't see the comparisons. White guilt is a problem in both scenerios but it's hardly infected the majority of whites in America and a lot of the Hispanics coming into America join the melting pot and are not the problem. Lastly there is no reasonable place for American whites to go if the $hit hit the fan unlike South Africa because if the US were to fall into some third world multi-cultural socialism you can bet the rest of the commonwealth which has the same problems to a greater extent, would have fallen already.

#6 FOX NEWS [paraph]> not a sign of RACE/ETHNIC HATRED IN AMER, but it is fair to say that, until WRIGHT controversy, DEM POTUS CANDIDATE BARACK OBAMA was seen by many Americans, including many white Americans, as "MR. DIVERSITY/AMER DIVERSITY" + "MR. RACE UNIFIER/UNITY"??? Also, that BARACK as leading Dem contender had been running as against both GOP + DEM HILLARY as NOT ANOTHER JESSE JACKSON- or LOUIS FARAKHAN-TYPE, etc. - WRIGHT CONTROV HAS SERIOUSLY DAMAGED THAT NOTION OF OBAMA vv VOTERS.
