   GOOD QUESTION! I've often wondered this myself. I agree that the way
South Africa treats its black population is immoral and inhumane, but
I also believe that many other countries treat portions of their
populations in a manner which is as bad or worse. So the question remains,
why the fanaticism when it comes to South Africa?
