"The whole thing should be scratched off..."
You want to see the future of South Africa? Watch this video from University of Cape Town. about "decolonizalizing science" and purging the "western modalities" from education. One might hear the same kind of thing at an American university, but the difference is that in South Africa, the young woman leading the panel, or someone like her, is likely to be in a position to enforce her opinion across the society in the near future.
Imagine the same panel five or ten years hence, but it is now a tribunal for relocation and removal of all post-colonial influences in South Africa, including anyone of white skin. The young men on the end are now carrying weapons. Asking the wrong kind of question gets you a death sentence. "Truth and Reconciliation" have become "Purification and Racial Justice."
You think I'm wrong? I hope I'm wrong. I'd love to see it play out differently. But look at how they react when one (white) person dares say "It's not true." They already know they have authority.behind them. They act with the swagger of knowing that others must obey them. Now imagine them with guns.
