"Although some of the South African whites' attitudes are paralleled by Israeli Jews and the Northern Ireland Protestants, as a community they are not similar. The South African whites are not a more or less complete and autonomous community, embracing all classes, but a capitalist class, a middle class, and a thin labour aristocracy, all resting on top of a black working class. There can be no justice in South Africa unless the whites accept equality. And the blacks can't, won't, and should not be asked to wait until the whites accept equality voluntarily rather than having it forced on them".
