Comments by "Stephen Jenkins" (@stephenjenkins7971) on "Why South Africa is still so segregated" video.
@ItsDefOver9000 It's so global that in South Africa the almost all-black government has allowed serious killings and expropriations of white lands in recompense for White Supremacist policies -and many whites in Africa are in danger of genocide according to Human Rights groups. White Supremacy can be considered a global phenomenon; but it runs headlong into a brick wall against other facts that makes it more likely that simply there is a phenomenon of the downtrodden minority dueling for power against the wealthier majority or vice-versa since Asians are just as willing to oppress black/brown minorities or blacks just as willing to oppress brown/white minorities if they have power. So we have a power issue more than we have a white supremacy issue.

@arthurfonzarelli9828 I mean, yeah, that's true; but that doesn't mean there aren't issues. News make it seem like the US is the most racist country on Earth but its achievements with minority rights are among the best on the planet, only surpassed by a few countries like Canada. Still, don't dismiss the current issues, yeah? Some are very real.

@sbcontt YT Idk about it being "worse", since legal institutions aren't oppressing blacks in South Africa anymore, but fact is that past oppression leads to issues down the road. Not always, as often oppressed minorities also manage to rise up as equals, but sometimes that is indeed the case. It's a question of culture too, but that's a rather loaded conversation.

@nationalsock7727 A piece of paper is just access to resources. Humans naturally love to gather resources to survive the environment or secure themselves and families. So yes, to an extent, love of "paper" which is indicative of your access to resources is natural.
