Obviously on the street, there is still a tonne of resentment today between whites toward Abos, & vice-versa.
"Abos" have been treated like shit for centuries. Treated worse than any other race on the planet. Glad they're getting a few concessions now. They deserve it. They are probably still relegated to the shitholes to live in though and have very little chance of scoring a good job in the city. They have the highest suicide rate on the planet from what I once read.
