more then 3/4th of the population was black

why did the black population not mobilize faster and use violence to get their freedom when they had the numbers?

Why aren’t patriotic Americans rising up against Obamunism?

For the same reason that 5% (the gays) and 13% (the blacks) terrorize the majority.

Why does a grown elephant not escape when tied to a stake even though they are more than strong enough to break away from it?

Sentences begin with capital letters and “then” does not equal “than”.

Could it be that illiterate retards are gumming up the works?

Short story:

Africa was black and backward. White guys take a small part of it (South Africa) and make it “Europe South” and create a really nice culture where even the blacks have a MUCH better lifestyle than their brethren in surrounding countries.

So many, many blacks move there for the better living. Next thing you know, the white culture is fighting for its very survival, finally branded racist, and forced to give up power to the majority.

And that is why it is the hell hole it is today. The wild turned back to its nature when civilization left.

A well-organized minority with superior firepower can dominate an unorganized minority for a long time.

Also, there is the old tactic of dividing the populace over some issue, and setting them against each other, so they won’t unite and turn on you (see Barack Obama setting blacks against whites here in America for an example of that). I imagine that tactic was probably very effective in SA, where there were already pre-existing tribal divisions.

Because the majority of blacks were not Communists, but they knew most of the leadership of the ANC were Communists with a lot of support from the Soviet Union.

I think you are exactly right about South Africa. I have white SA friends who bailed out several years ago. They are Texans now.

Whites had the guns and the British Empire supported the Boers after the Boer war until the 70’s. Easy enough

Approximately 1,000,000 White South Africans left after Apartheid was dismantled.

Total homosexual population: 1.5-2.5% tops. No estimate in any country has ever found it higher than 1-1.5% for females, and 1.5-2.5% for males.

Reagan supported Chief Buthelezi, who was a good, Christian man, SA would have been much better off with him in charge than Mandela.

Either an illiterate person of modest capacity or a retard could produce the effect. I don't think he needs to be both.
