Response to Owen Horwitz: Poor Whites Youtube Video

http://owenhorwitzafricablog.blogspot.com/ Here is the link to his blog,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFj0HdW2iDs and the link to the youtube video.

Is his blog Owen is explaining how this video doesn't specifically relate to the project on Africa he is doing in class but it still was interesting to watch. As it was once, the British ruled South Africa, the blacks are becoming more educated and are rising all the way up to the upper middle class. With great lives ahead of them many are starting their own businesses and living in areas with mostly whites. However, like Owen and the video explain the social statuses of different races are always changing. There are poor whites in South Africa and well as whites living in high class.

Just like Owen, I did not know a lot about how this was going on in South Africa. Gathering from the video, union rep Kallie Kriel states: "It's ironic that a government that fought racial laws is now doing exactly the same thing." So many poor whites feel they're being discriminated against but at the same time about 80% of these poor people are blacks. Each race have their own say but there's no saying in what will happen next.

I enjoyed finding this blog post and watching the video.
