| 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."

| Goodie Mob "Dirty South" |
 |
Along with OutKast, with whom they were closely
associated, Goodie Mob was among the first
Southern rap acts to attain nationwide
recognition, particularly with their classic
debut, Soul Food (1995). The group unraveled after
only its third album, World Party (1999), when
Cee-Lo broke away for a solo career, and overall
their recognition was much more critical than
commercial. All the same, Goodie Mob's reputation
as a pioneering Southern rap act remains firmly in
place, and that reputation was considerably
bolstered once Cee-Lo, as the frontman of Gnarls
Barkley, broke into mainstream consciousness with
the smash hit "Crazy" in 2006.

| 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."
