When I was in my 20s and living on Orange County, CA, I was riding the bus home from work and a white woman from South Africa was talking with the bus driver. It was during the boycott years (which, by the way, western protesters sustained with the SANCTION of the ANC) and they were discussing the boycott, the goals of the ANC, etc. I stayed out of it (surprisingly - because I was a hothead back then) until the woman said, "Oh, they don't know what they want. They're children!"
