Liberal Irish reporter Fergal Keane of the BBC is told from the horses mouth (a Black South African) that Blacks were better off under Apartheid and that their lives would only get better if the Apartheid government came back to power.
Fergal: Do you ever think your life is going to get better Josef?
Josef: Maybe my life would change if the Nationalist Party came back, not the ANC.
Fergal: I don't believe you. Come on. That was a White government that put you down, that treated you terribly, you cant really believe that?
Josef: But in terms of work they didn't oppress us. We didn't struggle for work then.
It appears that even when confronted with overwhelming evidence that he supported the wrong people in South Africa, liberal Irish reporter Fergal Keane still refuses to accept that he was wrong and then proceeds to tell a Black South African, living in South Africa that he, Irishman Fergal Keane who lives in Ireland knows better.
