long-gone: <Some, but then there are many whites who would also rather steal(the shorts are mostly white eh?), so very tough to draw any hard & fast rules along these lines.> Unfortunately the facts, as I understand them, do not support your contention: 1. South Africa has more crime (mainly by blacks) than anywhere else on earth eg murder, rape, armed robbery, car hijacking, petty theft etc 2. In the US, the black communities have higher crime statistics than any other. Accordingly, there are more blacks in US jails than any other population group 3. Selling short is not a crime. In fact, it is an everyday occurrence on every market in the world. I do agree, however, that Uncle Bill Murphy & All have stigmatized it to such an extent that I forgive you for believing it is a crime. Further, I would be very surprised to know if there is any black community in this world which has gone out of its way to charitably or compassionately help another black community in another part of the world. Poverty is not new in Africa. In fact, it exists, not because of the actions of the white colonists and Western capitalists as the ANC etc would have one believe, but because of the theft, plunder and corruption of black leaders in virtually every African country.
