How is it that the colonization of South Africa did not stamp out the tribal languages like it did in America?
There are so many beautiful languages being spoken here...how did the natives keep their spoken heritage?
In the US the ruling white government put the natives into "cultraulization" schools. Forbidding they speak their native tongue. Why didn't the British and Afrikaners do this? Or why did the Americans?
Did the Puritans REALLY have such a big shadow of being persecuted in Europe that they did the same thing to the Natives?
Where there more blacks in South Africa? Where there more whites in the US than Indians?
I would love to speak with someone who has a sociology background and contrast and compare the different ways which history acted.
There seems to be a pedestal that the US occupies in cultural status here. Strange.
