It's a sad day when South Africa is more progressive on Human Rights than the US of A.

yeah. seriously folks, for shame.

why is that?

i mean, i think it's sad that the US really sucks on a lot of human rights issues right now, but i don't see why it's implied that South Africa shouldn't be. they're a pretty awesome country and have done some pretty awesome things, and i feel like the implication there isn't really something i'm comfortable with.

I realize they've made strides in the last decade or so, but apartheid wasn't that long ago. Believe me, I'm happy they're progressive, more than happy, I'm just ashamed that the US on most issues is either the same as or worse than countries it has condemned, sanctioned, and/or invaded because of said issues.
