| White Negros - South Africa |
 |
March 2006
Even today, albinos in South Africa face
widespread prejudice and discrimination. Rejected
by both the black and white communities, they
struggle to find their place in society.
"Some women spit when they see me. They think
albinism is contagious and that will stop them
catching it", confides albino Ntswaki. Both her
parents are black but because of her white skin
her father rejected her at birth. "I feel I am in
strange place -- not white enough, not black
enough."

| USA For Africa - We Are The World |
 |
USA for Africa (United Support of Artists for
Africa), was the name under which forty-five
predominantly U.S. artists, led by Harry
Belafonte, Kenny Rogers, Michael Jackson, and
Lionel Richie, recorded the hit single "We Are the
World" in 1985. The song was a US and UK Number
One for the collective in April of that year.
The considerable profits from the enterprise went
to the USA for Africa Foundation, which used them
for the relief of famine and disease in Africa;
critics, however, claim that this money went
directly to the (often military) governments of
the affected countries rather than the people.
A recording of the live performance was released
with the Live Aid DVD set released on November 8,
2004.

| Poor Whites - South Africa |
 |
June 2006
Since the end of apartheid, thousands of white
South Africans have been forced into poverty. They
blame the government's positive discrimination
policies, which favour black employees.
Twelve years ago, Afrikaners like Betsie Dreyer
lived a privileged and cocooned life. Now, many
are dependent on charity handouts. "We are
fighting all the time to survive." The government
is determined to see the workforce appropriately
reflect the population. It gives black people
priority in employment, sets 'black quotas' for
businesses and favours companies owned by black
people. But critics accuse the government of
neglecting its responsibility to white citizens.
As union rep Kallie Kriel states: "It's ironic
that a government that fought racial laws is now
doing exactly the same thing."
