Title: A Warning for Americans: A Message from a South African

People used to say that South Africa was 20 years behind the rest of the Western world. Television, for example, came late to South Africa (but so did pornography and the gay* rights movement).

Today, however, South Africa may be the grim model of the future Western world, for events in America reveals trends chillingly similar to those that destroyed our country.

America's structures are Western. Your Congress, your lobbying groups, your free speech, and the way ordinary Americans either get involved or ignore politics are peculiarly Western, not the way most of the world operates. But the fact that only about a third of Americans deem it important to vote is horrifying in light of how close you are to losing your Western character.

Yet Westerners continue to mistake the psychology of the Third World and its peoples.

Those in the West who forced South Africa to surrender to the ANC and its leaders did not consider Africa to be the dangerous, corrupt, and savage place it is now in Zimbabwe and South Africa. Those Western politicians now have a similar problem on their own doorsteps: the demand for power and treasure from the non-Western peoples inside the realm.

We lost our country through skillful propaganda, pressure from abroad (not least from the U.S.A.), unrelenting charges of "oppression" and "racism," and the shrewd assessment by African tyrants that the white man has many Achilles' heels, the most significant of which are his compassion, his belief in the "equality of man," and his "love your neighbor" philosophy -- none of which are part of the Third World's history.

Thank you for sharing. You have tried to warn us. I wonder if europe and the UK are listening.

The end of the Apartheid state is one of the better things that happened to South Afrika.

South Africa is a better country today.

America successfully dismantled it's own Apartheid system in the 60's and avoided a race war due to the far reaching genius and vision of MLK.

South Africa may have done the same but didn't.

They should be happy that despite the intransigency of the NumbNuts, they did not have a race war.

Because no one's leaving. Either here or in SA. In SA whites were a dominant minority. If they hadn't cut a deal with the Blacks 90% of the population, they would've been force to fight or flee.

And diverting this thread from SA to Reconquista is silly.

After all, all the Mexicans here are speaking another European language, Spanish. So, it's like a family brawl here.

And Mexicans aren't a economically dominant minority, like whites in SA.

Silly analogies.

Or better yet, ask the families of the hundreds of white farmers who have been murdered what a great and happy multicultural paradise SA is today.

Seperate and most definitely not equal. Please, the distribution of state resources was designed to permanently keep the blacks in a state of semistarvation, ignorance and crushing poverty.

I won't go to Johannesburg, are you nuts? Tho on the bright side, it's prolly safer than Baghdad.

When a system ends, some violence will happen. If the South Africans had moved in the 50's or 60's the violence may very well have not happened.

Either way, the dignitiy of the Black African was trampled on every day.

Now a few whites get a little payback. Lemme get my handkerchief.

Based on what? We never get news about SA, if there were race riots or things were that unbearable for the whites, we might hear about it.

Googling South Africa or any of it's major cities doesn't show any state of chaos. Try it.

Shows more or less a normal democratic country with it's share of bumps.

No way is anyone going to convince me that SA was some paragon of Utopia in the apartheid days. It was, for a very small bunch of White SA's. For the rest, it was HELL.

Yes, things have improved and the country is better for the decisions it made in the 90's.

Geez, they were simply trifling, eh? Whatever inequities existed, hell, the whole country was based on Maximum Inequity.

How the hell can you say that. It was a total obscentity, apartheid SA.

The most essential thing is the blacks aren't under the jackboots of the whites.

Some whites may have problems with that, but reading the items listed in Google gives you a good idea that the country is a far better place today than in some bullshit, rose colored glass nostalgic vision of yesterday.

Oy, now that's a LOOOONG discussion. And pretty much moot, Colonialism happened, and for a variety of reasons. And colonialism would not have been successful if not for the venality and greed of many of the rulers of to be colonized countries. Blaming Europeans exclusively is silly; the rulers of places like Africa and Asia deserve a lot of the credit, too. By their incompetence, greed and local rivalries, they allowed their own countries to be taken over.

I wouldn't say it sucked for Europe. If they hadn't fallen into WorldWarOne, the wealth expropriated from the colonies would have lasted them well and a lot longer.

I'm not denying there were inequities. I'm suggesting a safer solution for all could have been found. You seem to believe that colonization had no benefits whatsoever, I disagree. Everyone is aware that apartheid is not a healthy system. But throwing the baby out with the bath water is no solution either.

And I maintain that that solution has been found in SA today.

The economic power of the whites was maintained; there was no wholesale emigration out by whites, there was no full blown race war.

And the society seems to be getting along fine today.

I don't see SA as a basket case as you seem to.

It will be sweet justice indeed when all the illegal farm workers do to the farmers and ranchers here what has been done to those in Zimbabwe. They imported all those people as cheap labor and an mythical ancestral rights movement like the Aztlan movement gained strength. Add the communist agitators like we are seeing here now with the immigrant rights marches and what we will have in a few years is Zimbabwe and South Africa. I wonder when they start killing whites if the morons in this country will finally get a clue.

Native American Indians will have nothing to do with Mexican illegals. Recently, one wrote a great article about how in past times, they chased them to Mexico more than once. I only wish they could do it again.

There is an attempt to ignore the prior claim by Native Americans to Aztlan by La Raza and friends.
