Quote of the Day

I was sitting in the bedroom, quietly reading a dated anthropology text, when I came across a phrase that startled me. I called out, "What does he mean by 'Black Africa'?"

From the other room came the reply, "All the part that isn't Johannesburg."

And I laughed really, really hard.

Too bad you can't see the shanty towns in this picture. Funny, I couldn't find a single shot of a shanty with the city in the background. All the pics were either shanties or big cityness...such a dramatic difference. And in all fairness, most people in Johannesburg are black. I can't believe so few white people were able to run the place for so long...
