I'm not American. I got my daughter out of America because I don't see one single bit of hope for the country. I've lived long enough to see Rhodesia, one of the most successful countries in Africa switch to become Zimbabwe and morally and financially bankrutpt. I've seen it happen to other countries as well. I'm now watching the same process in the UK and the US.

I also lived through apartheid. Both my parents were anti-apartheid. Voting never got rid of apartheid. Here's what got rid of apartheid.

1. The violence in the townships became so extreme that the police and military couldn't control it.

2. Sanctions, after 15 years, bankrupted South Africa.

3. Bill Cosby's series introduced a young white geneation of South Africans to the fact that black people were people, too.

4. De Klerk, the president of South Africa, had a brother who did not believe in apartheid. He told the president that if he insisted on keeping apartheid that he would run against his own brother. That is not done in Afrikanerdom. So, it was a unlateral decision by the South African president to eliminate apartheid. The public never voted for it, and it never even came close to opposing apartheid. Whites simply did not want black people to mix with them.

I'm not angry and impatient. I just know from long experience that America is never going to solve this problem at the voting booth.

There isn't a chance in hell that voting is going to change what is going on in Congress, the Senate, or anywhere else. Same thing in the British parliament. The people who are in power are never going to let us. Make no mistake about that.
