Black South Africans, is a racist term used by people who see political advantage in uniting voters of dark skin complexion against those with lighter skins. This is partly a reaction to the Apartheid regime, which ruled South Africa on a similar racial basis for some forty years in the latter part of the last century, and partly a belief that Africa should be "Africanised". I am aware that this subject is a hot potatoe for some South Africans and that the above statement is provocative, but the glib use of the phrase - Black South Africans -without definition is I believe a harmful and oppressive action.
