The N Word / News South Africa barred the Dalai Lama? WTF?

South Africa has barred the Dalai Lama from a peace conference in Johannesburg this week, hoping to keep good relations with trading partner China. Can we say absolutely crazy?
If you didn't know before, you should know by now that China owns a whole lot of Africa, including South Africa. What's crazy is that a man who is known for peace worldwide is being banned from a country whose system of Apartheid was upheld by trade practices with China.

They are considered black and anyone that knows anything about South Africa knows that this is HIGHLY problematic.
Shame on South Africa for again upholding tyranny instead of using its cultural and economic capital to insist that democratic principles are upheld worldwide. Oh but that's right, South Africa is a socialist country masquerading as a Democracy which is why this makes perfect sense.
