Do white people have a future in South Africa?
BBC News ^ | 19 May 2013 | By John Simpson

Apartheid South Africa looked after white people and nobody else. Now some of its white communities face a level of deprivation, or of violence, which threatens their future in the country.

Everyone here, regardless of colour, tells you that white people are still riding high.

They run the economy. They have a disproportionate amount of influence in politics and the media. They still have the best houses and most of the best jobs.

All of this is true but it is not the only picture.

Look below the surface and you will find poverty and a sense of growing vulnerability.

The question I have come to South Africa to answer is whether white people genuinely have a future here.

To watch invaders ... overrun the place, take it over, and then run it into the ground must be heartwrenching.

It's already here in this country too.

About the same odds as a non-moslem in an islamist country.

Do white people have a future anywhere in the world?

Russia and Eastern Europe. They just don't put up with Democrats, pansies, and political correctness there. Anyway, when (some) whites - - even in the former America - - are finally backed into a corner, there will be blood.

Yep. South Africa is in a race to get down to the level of neighbors economically, socially and militarily. The ruling party is massively corrupt, crime rates are skyrocketing and their brand new jet fighters are sitting up on blocks because they can’t afford to fly them. The SA Army just lost 14 soldier in the Central African Republic, which appear to have been there for no other reason than to protect the business interests of the ANC party bosses.

No. Look at Rhodesia. Look at Detroit.

The illuminati will not shed a tear when south Africa is ethnically cleansed.

In other words, Little Steven & Paul Simon will not be giving benefit concerts.

I won't agree exactly with what you say because there are big exceptions to it. But it points to a larger problem.

America has functioned brilliantly in the past because of belief in free market capitalism, a strong work ethic and a generally unified population (including naturalized citizens from all over the world.) Things started to fall apart when the New Left radicalized racial minorities, feminists and homosexuals, and began to spread the insane ideas that "diversity (instead of unity) is our strength" and that our national treasury could support the entire world via immigration, legal and illegal.

There are many good people who come to the U.S., even illegally, who fully grasp the idea of individual initiative, opportunity and making better lives for themselves. So do many of our citizen minorities including Blacks. Unfortunately too many -- including some of our political elites and hopelessly spoiled, socialist-indoctrinated young people -- just don't grasp the fundamentals that made America rich and powerful. They simplistically see America as the goose that will continue to lay golden eggs forever, with no thought about feeding the goose and making sure it stays in good health.

If Zimbabwe is any indication my guess would be “no”.But I’m not nearly close enough to the situation to be certain.

True...just as they never shed a tear over Jews being driven out of various Middle Eastern countries or over Christians being *currently* driven out of those same countries (or murdered).

Whites should get out while they still have their lives. Racism is a one way street; whites are always guilty.

They’ve largely been disarmed. What do you think?

Study up on 1800’s global bankers adventures in Africa.

That’s the 19th century, the years 1800-1899.

Learn about the whole cast of international banking characters.

Today will make much more sense.

I do see it where race and culture are a factor but not the only one, you hit the main point there. Myself, if I hit the powerball or something, I would love to start a "Galt's Gulch." There was a movie done on ABC TV back in 1972 called "Second Change" where a multi-millionaire played by Brian Keith bought a ghost town and people who need a second chance and so on could live there and build their own community, I'd love to do something like that.

Reverting to tribalism themselves, I guess it should have been anticipated. It’s violent, in your face, throwing ugly racial stereotypes right back, more than a little psychotic.

The second Lady Gaga spoof actually was good, even striking aesthetically once it got rolling but still very disturbed and very disturbing. Very colorful but very dark.

A lot of verys there. It’ll be a very violent thing if remaining white youth turn to this. It likely will be eventually anyway, whether they do or they don’t.

Hence the apparent psychosis.
