In recent years, we have seen graphic and disturbing scenes of migrants attempting to cross into Europe as they flee the developing world. Especially poignant are the pictures of young, sub-Saharan African men scaling the barrier fences that surround the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla in Morocco:
Leaving aside whether Spain should return these enclaves to Morocco, the determination of migrants bound for Europe is striking. They have illegally entered Morocco and, from there, are allowed to enter another country illegally—almost certainly with the tacit approval of the Moroccan authorities. Also striking is the sight of the young men crying “freedom” and wrapping themselves in the EU flag upon their arrival in these enclaves. In reality, they are anything but free, as it is highly unlikely that the Spanish authorities will grant them asylum and the right of abode. If it is determined that they are illegal economic migrants, they will be removed in due course. Even so, this is not a remotely sufficient deterrent.
We are often told that such images are an indictment of European heartlessness. It is less often pointed out that they are an indictment of those now ruling Europe’s former colonies more than half a century after independence. Almost without exception, post-colonial governance has been a disastrous failure. Some naively claim that the migrant crisis of recent years is the consequence of Western intervention in the countries from which so many are fleeing. But, for the most part, this is false. While it is true that significant numbers of migrants are from Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya, the largest number since 2013 have been fleeing Syria’s civil war where Western military intervention has been minimal.
Nor are migrants from sub-Saharan Africa seeking refuge from Western-led military interventions.

young men crying “free stuff!”, more likely.
"Downtown" Johannesburg looks just like Nairobi and Dar Es Salaam.
Other than natural resources, what the hell has Africa ever contributed to the betterment of the world?
suburbs of Johannesburg
That won’t last. I recently met a couple from SA and mentioned that I wouldn’t mind seeing it. They said, “Then you’d better make it quick because it’s turning to shit.”
The only thing that will stop the hoards is military action.
So long as caucasians, as a race, refuse to defend themselves, they are doomed to follow the neanderthal.
white soyboy fruitcake european men... all the real European men killed one another, and their lineage, in the two world wars of the 20th century.
enjoy your daughters getting blacked.
One of the suburbs I was referring to is a town called Sandton. We used it a few years ago as our "home base" while visiting the National Parks. It's very,very wealthy...wealthy enough to have a write up in Wikipedia. There was a Rolls Royce dealership within a 2 minutes walk of our hotel.It reminded me very much of the time I got lost in Palos Verdes (suburban LA...very wealthy).
But only about 10 minutes away is a place called Alexandria. It's a shanty town that looks like places I saw in Nairobi and Dar Es Salaam.Absolutely Fourth World.
They were indeed developing nations when the colonial powers were there. They threw them out in the 60’s and 70’s and now that they turned what the Europeans built into dust they want to follow them home.
The notion that “migrants” from third world countries will adopt western values and become contributing members of western society is called the “magic dirt” theory.
“Educated” elites do believe in magic!
Has nothing to do with “white.” It’s civilized vs uncivilized. Bringing uncivilized people into a civilized country guarantees that they and their offspring will not have to work and will be given free things, compliments of the civilized suckers.
The UN has declared there is a universal right for all to have access to white people, and their stuff.
Mau Maus.
The only way to stop them is to shoot them and no-one has the stomach for that. In 200 years, all of Europe will be a Black, Muslim area.
(That is, if the Chinese don't start shooting them first)
After all the money spent on education, 40+ % of Black people in many large cities cannot read or write.
Many of my Christian friends who went to New Orleans to help after Katrina complained of their time being wasted filling out FEMA forms (for FREE stuff) for Black people who couldn't read or write...and, the Black people there didn't seem concerned about it.
Well—there is some good news—Louisiana has some _very_ _wealthy_ politicians!
That reminds me of the “A white man’s kraal” picture in one of Fred’s articles:
