Who do we blame for AA/BEE?

Back in 1977 there was a black man by the name of Rev. Leon Sullivan, he was a board member of GM Motors, at the time the biggest employer of black people in South Africa. Of course he was not a South African black but was an American black. Judging by the quote below he seems to think he was the saviour of blacks in South Africa.

"Starting with the work place, I tightened the screws step by step and raised the bar step by step. Eventually I got to the point where I said that companies must practice corporate civil disobedience against the laws and I threatened South Africa and said in two years Mandela must be freed, apartheid must end, and blacks must vote or else I'll bring every American company I can out of South Africa"

Bear in mind this was in 1977 so he didn't quite achieve his objective, we can safely say these principles were quite a failure considering it wasn't until the 1990's when things began to change. So without further ado...

  1. Non-segregation of the races in all eating, comfort, and work facilities. Equal and fair employment practices for all employees.

  2. Equal pay for all employees doing equal or comparable work for the same period of time.

  3. Initiation of and development of training programs that will prepare, in substantial numbers, blacks and other nonwhites for supervisory, administrative, clerical, and technical jobs.

  4. Increasing the number of blacks and other nonwhites in management and supervisory positions.

  5. Improving the quality of life for blacks and other nonwhites outside the work environment in such areas as housing, transportation, school, recreation, and health facilities.

  6. Working to eliminate laws and customs that impede social, economic, and political justice. (added in 1984)

Needless to say since they were a failure of course the U.N. decided in 1999 to not abandon them, but to embelish on them and create a new set of principles for the global stage. If you want top know more, go read up on them. Suffice to say the father of AA/BEE has the blood and welfare of thousands of white South Africans on his hands.

United Nations Security Council Resolutions...(Crimes against white South Africans)

These are just some of the crimes the U.N. committed against the white people of South Africa.

United Security Council Resolution 181
adopted on August 7 1963, was concerned with an arms build-up by the Republic of South Africa and fears that those arms might be used to further the racial conflict in that country. The Council called upon the government of South Africa to abandon its policy of apartheid and called upon all states to voluntarily cease the sale and shipment of all arms, ammunition and other military equipment to South Africa.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 191
adopted on June 18, 1964, after reiterating its previous requests of the Republic of South Africa and again condemning apartheid the Council decided to establish a Group of Experts made up of representatives of all the then current members of the Council to study the feasibility and effectiveness of measures which could be taken by the Council under the Charter. The Council also invited the Secretary-General to establish education and training programs for South Africans abroad.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 282
adopted on July 23, 1970, concerned by violations of the arms embargo passed against South Africa in resolution 191 the Council reiterated its total opposition to the policies of apartheid and reaffirmed its previous resolutions on the topic. The Council called upon states to strengthen the arms embargo by ceasing the provision of military training to members of the South African armed forces and by taking appropriate action to give effective to the resolution's measures.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 418
passed on 4 November 1977, imposed a mandatory arms embargo against apartheid South Africa. This resolution differed from the earlier Resolution 282, which was only voluntary. The embargo was subsequently tightened and extended by Resolution 591.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 435
Adopted on September 29, 1978, this resolution put forward proposals for a cease-fire and UN-supervised elections in South Africa controlled South-West Africa which ultimately led to the independence of Namibia. Importantly, it established the United Nations Transition Assistance Group (UNTAG) which oversaw the election and the South African withdrawal.
One of the subsequent shortcomings of the resolution was that it did not mention the paramilitary Koevoet force, which came into being after the resolution was passed. This unit, which was considered a stumbling block for free elections in Namibia, was eventually disbanded on October 31, 1989 — the last possible day before the November election.
On December 22, 1988 South Africa agreed to implement the resolution upon its signature of the Tripartite Accord at UN headquarters in New York.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 591
strengthened the mandatory arms embargo against apartheid South Africa imposed by United Nations Security Council Resolution 418 and made it more comprehensive.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 1761
The resolution deemed apartheid and the policies enforcing it to be a violation of South Africa's obligations under the UN Charter and a threat to international peace and security. Additionally, the resolution requested Member States to break off diplomatic relations with South Africa, to cease trading with South Africa (arms exports in particular), and to deny passage to South African ships and aircraft.
