We recently stumbled across the following and thought you might enjoy.
This is a lecture by Hubbard on South Africa, part of the Anatomy of the Human Mind Congress December 31st 1960 - January 1, 1961. It's his opinion on apartheid and the black man after being led around by the nose by the government. It has been cleansed out of most current recollections of the events. Wonder why? With good reason...
His conclusions in pertinent part:
1. The apartheid government was getting a bad rap from bad PR; they were wonderful and caring of their black people(perhaps too much so).
2. Black people wouldn't know what to do with a vote if they had it.
3. People were not being treated badly or oppressed.
4. It would take fifty years in order to bring the Bantu up to the level of the civilization of the American black man.
5. Civilization in Africa came to blacks through the white man.
6. Bantus can't be e metered normally like white people.
7. SA was being criticized only because the Communists were trying to undermine this pearl of a government.
etc. etc.
It is a festival of prejudice and his own ignorance as to the true political situation.
The whole tape, around twenty minutes:

A shorter fun mock up of the highlights:

I'll post the WWP thread when WWP is back up.
