Gus > you and your siblings are "involved" to the extent that you, collectively, benefited from the iniquitous apartheid regime... If I benefited, it was by default. We collectively, meaning my antecedants, did not choose to benefit. We are guilty of no crime and we cannot be indicted simply because we are white and we were in SA. >You talk as if a repressive political regime that lasted more than a century could be dismantled overnight with NO, absolutely NO lingering scars on the social fabric. And what do the Belgians, including you, owe to those in their former colony, the Belgian Congo, after years of the most brutal exploitation and the rest? And you cannot say that Belgium did not benefit from the extraordinary wealth of the Congo in minerals and timber -- and therefore you are also a beneficiary. I hope you are ready to apologise -- and pay -- for the crimes of your grandfather. But you are lucky, the New York shlenter lawyers haven't got round to Belgium yet. And I wonder what the Americans owe the descendants of their grandparents'slaves? By your argument, it's plenty. You didn't by any chance study law in NY, did you?
