The song that was played in class on Thursday left me feeling confused. On one hand, I felt like it just encouraged violence and that could not be a good thing. But I also think that by banning it, they might have just inflamed the song even more. I do know that South Africa still has a long road ahead as far as race relations go. There has been so much animosity and a history of abuses in this country it would be hard to move on. The UN established a truth commission in order to make public those abuses so those in South Africa can move on. There is a good summary of those proceedings on this website. It is actually very interesting.
