Cry, the beloved country

Original Paragraph:
And some cry for the cutting up of South Africa without delay into separate areas, where white can live without black, and black without white, where black can farm their own land and mine their own minerals and administer their own laws. And others cry away with the compound system, that brings men to the towns without their wives and children, and breaks up the tribe and the house and the man, and they ask for the establishment of villages for the labourers in mines and industry.

There is a whole chapter of speeches in this book that, I think, give the book it's name. Cry, the Beloved Country, is a very good book, although I still haven't finished it. I liked this piece because it is interesting to me how the people back then were so racist. The whites moved in on the blacks and took over everything and ruined their lives. I feel that that is how they convey their feelings in this selection. I have to admit, the whites, which include me, were pretty pushy about their ways and usually either got their way, or forced their way and nothing could stop them. In this book, Kumalo, a main character who is a minister, can't understand how their land became so corrupted. But in truth, it was the whites.
