This is a true story, and I had to share it with you guys:

KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Nomsa Dube, called on the National Department of Science and Technology to investigate the causes of lightning after seven people died in lightning strikes.

"We will do an investigation and talk to the Department of Science and Technology on what is the cause of the lightning, and if it only happens to the previously disadvantaged as I have never seen any white people being struck by lightning" said Dube.
She was visiting Mpumazi in Eshowe where seven people from two families died after being struck by lightning on Sunday. "Scientists from the Department could perhaps help us and come up with instruments that could help community members protect themselves against lightning. The department has dealt with floods and fires, but lightning is something new to us," said Dube.

It's the same reason that lightning bolts are always white and not black, the bad racialists.

Racist lightning, was it Uruguayan?

It's South African.
This is just one of the most recent articles, I can write a book of "Quotes from leaders of South Africa"

In the interests of science they should get all citizens to walk around with a metal pole to attract the lightning for the purpose of their research.
More lightning= getting to the bottom of it quicker.

Shocking that. Someone had to say it
