Cry the Beloved Country, Again…

Posted by Jack Stephens | May 23rd, 2008 | Crossposted from The Blog and the Bullet

Ridwan, a South African blogger, blogs on the recent violence against immigrants in his country:

I know all the rationalizations for why gangs of South Africans are attacking migrants of the streets of our country. I know the deplorable conditions that are hardly hidden by the delusional capitalist flash of the ‘new’ era.

But I am not willing to make excuses for the barbaric murders (22 killed), beatings, and violent intimidation of poor migrants who live among us. They are simply wrong and immoral.
