Rank, welcome to reading history according to the calendar.

Two days ago, I saw a news item on the Internet, which was simply sensational, and this happened in South Africa. Saying that there is an acting company in South Africa, organizing 8 beautiful model and 6 staff, to shoot MV in an abandoned mine in a small town next to the South African capital Johannesburg, this is very normal, but did not expect that during the filming, suddenly came a group of armed elements, about fifty or sixty people, directly controlled these dozen people, and then inhumanely carried out the 8 beautiful model rounds of destruction, and finally also the dozen people, the cash jewelry mobile phone in their hands looted, such a vicious crime to tell the truth, In India, the capital of QJ, armed robbery is rare, armed robbery in broad daylight, and it is collective robbery and aggression.

After this incident, South Africa was extremely shaken, the local police quickly dispatched the police, the dozens of people were also controlled, and now what awaits them is a judicial trial, but the local government also came out to express its position, saying that these people are not South Africans, these people are several African countries next to them, refugees poured into South Africa, they have weapons in their hands, they have no money, so they have made such a vicious incident. Although this is just an ordinary criminal case, but through this case we can see, how can south Africa's public security become this state, today many children after 90 and 00, south Africa, this country, may still feel quite strange, that is, a country on the African continent, one of the BRICS countries, is considered to be economically good, but do you know, in the 80s of the last century, South Africa was not an ordinary cow, when South Africa's per capita GDP, much higher than the mainland, more critically, South Africa is an industrial country, and even in some statistical series, South Africa is considered a developed country.

In the past 30 years, economic development has gone backwards, from developed to developing countries, what is wrong with South Africa

To know that South Africa is a black majority country, looking at the world's countries, black developed countries, so far there is not one, South Africa is really a leader, and you remember, at the end of last year, the relevant departments of the United Nations issued a report, saying that South Korea has officially become a member of the developed countries, since the end of World War II, this is probably a unique case. If we look at global history, what are the world powers today, What are the international powers of Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan 100 years ago, the Anglo-American, French, German, Italian, and Japanese countries, the strong countries are still strong countries, the weak countries are still weak countries, like South Korea, from an extremely poor and weak state, from a colonial state, can develop into a developed country, that is very few.

Of course, in the past, we also believed in a concept, saying that the East Asian Confucian cultural circle, we are the only people in the world who can compete with white people, these countries in East Asia, Japan or South Korea, the mainland, or even barely forced to add Vietnam, these countries have a very good economic development, can compete with Europe and the United States, but like what Africa and Latin America, it is very bad at all, but in the 80s of the last century, South Africa was really an outlier, South Africa's industry is very developed, South Africa's per capita gross national product is very high However, such a developed country, in the past few decades the economy is getting worse and worse, other countries are striding forward, like the mainland, more than 40 years ago the per capita GDP of the mainland is only 200 US dollars, today the per capita GDP of the mainland is 12500 US dollars, 40 years up fifty or sixty times, so we generally think that this is very normal, the world must be moving forward, the son must be stronger than Lao Tzu, the new generation must create more wealth than the old generation, but not every country is like this, a large number of countries are like Japan, Lost 30 years, stable, how much money you made 30 years ago, how much money you still make now, and some countries like South Africa, are not as good as 30 years ago. 30 years ago is a developed and harmonious civilization of the country, 30 years later, South Africa has such a vicious event, why is this so, in fact, the Internet to discuss South Africa, why the decline of the article is very much, there are a considerable number of people think, this reflects a point, what? Black people just can't.

Before the mid-90s, although South Africa was a black majority country, but white people dominated, the country's political economy and technology, all controlled by white people, so the South African economy is very good, but after the mid-90s, black people came to power, white people were driven away, so South Africa began to decline, so many people also use this example to prove that black people may not be born with intellectual deficiencies, black people he is not as smart as white yellow people, of course, according to the previous white people, Yellow people are also very stupid, but the rise of East Asian countries, has broken this myth, white people now dare not say that yellow people are dumber than them, but black people really can't, there is really no one in this world, black-dominated countries, has made very proud achievements, but I think the use of race to divide people's IQ, this is indeed no practical evidence support, but there is one thing we can see, that is, South Africa this country in dealing with racial issues, is a big mistake, before it was wrong, Now it's also wrong.

Before the mid-90s, the white people in South Africa were dominant, and these white people regarded black people as their slaves, which of course was wrong, but when black people came to power, they did not resolve the contradiction between black and white very well, and black people had a feeling of turning over as masters, so they instead regarded white people as their slaves, squeezed white people, so that there was a large white middle class, if he still had the ability, he chose to emigrate. Let's take an example, today's world's richest man Musk, he was born in South Africa, for various reasons, later he left South Africa, to the United States, not necessarily he was oppressed, but you can imagine, if Musk is still in South Africa today, what will happen, he will still be the richest man in the world? Or, conversely, will South Africa have a world-class business?

Rich white people have run away, rich white people in South Africa slowly reduced to the bottom, so that today South Africa has a large number of slums, which live in the middle of the white people, such a scene is unique in the world, to be honest, this is also a sense of self-destruction of the Great Wall, there were indeed many white people in those days, for the wrong place to do evil, but after the black people came to power, can not reconcile the contradiction between black and white, let a large number of white elites leave, let go of the oppression of white people in the country, such a country, how does it develop the economy? South Africa is getting further and further behind, which is also conceivable.
