| Goodie Mob "Dirty South" |
 |
Along with OutKast, with whom they were
closely associated, Goodie Mob was among the
first Southern rap acts to attain nationwide
recognition, particularly with their classic
debut, Soul Food (1995). The group unraveled
after only its third album, World Party
(1999), when Cee-Lo broke away for a solo
career, and overall their recognition was
much more critical than commercial. All the
same, Goodie Mob's reputation as a pioneering
Southern rap act remains firmly in place, and
that reputation was considerably bolstered
once Cee-Lo, as the frontman of Gnarls
Barkley, broke into mainstream consciousness
with the smash hit "Crazy" in 2006.

March 2006
Even today, albinos in South Africa face
widespread prejudice and discrimination.
Rejected by both the black and white
communities, they struggle to find their
place in society.
"Some women spit when they see me. They think
albinism is contagious and that will stop
them catching it", confides albino Ntswaki.
Both her parents are black but because of her
white skin her father rejected her at birth.
"I feel I am in strange place -- not white
enough, not black enough."

June 2006
Since the end of apartheid, thousands of
white South Africans have been forced into
poverty. They blame the government's positive
discrimination policies, which favour black
employees.
Twelve years ago, Afrikaners like Betsie
Dreyer lived a privileged and cocooned life.
Now, many are dependent on charity handouts.
"We are fighting all the time to survive."
The government is determined to see the
workforce appropriately reflect the
population. It gives black people priority in
employment, sets 'black quotas' for
businesses and favours companies owned by
black people. But critics accuse the
government of neglecting its responsibility
to white citizens. As union rep Kallie Kriel
states: "It's ironic that a government that
fought racial laws is now doing exactly the
same thing."
