Trump tweets about white farmers while indigenous peoples face annihilation
The Manchester Guardian ^ | August 26, 2018 | Raj Patel

The first time Donald Trump tweeted about Africa, he agonised over white people. After watching Fox News’ coverage of the South African land debate last week, the President of the United States instructed his secretary of state to look into the “large scale killing of farmers”. Followers of Peter Dutton’s nine months tenure at Australia’s home affairs ministry will recognise the lie, peddled by the “alt-right”, that black South Africans are targeting white farmers. As the Guardian reported in June, farmer and farmworker murders are at a 20-year low.

But for white people living in every settler state, there’s an awkward question that translates from the Americas to Australia to South Africa to Canada and beyond. How did land become private property, and is that property legitimate? Land struggles, it turns out, might be a way of teaching racists a bit of history and geography.

For as long as the modern state and corporation have existed, indigenous people have faced annihilation as they defend their land. According to Global Witness, last year saw a record 207 indigenous activists killed from India to Honduras while resisting mining and, above all, agribusiness industries. In order for the supplies of palm oil to continue uninterrupted, the indigenous people who live in suitable forest find themselves an impediment to profit....

Like I've said before, if he cured all forms of cancer tomorrow he'd be called a racist for not curing sickle cell anemia.

I hear he bought the cure to sickle cell anemia and is keeping it locked in a safe to make Blacks suffer and die....he's also the one that first called it "The Great White Hope"....

All the leftist media is rushing to repair the damage Trump caused when he violated the taboo about telling the truth about blacks in South Africa killing Whites and stealing their property.

The white farmers ARE the indigenous people. The blacks migrated to SA long after the Afrikaners settled there. The whites displaced no one.

Liberals say European colonization was wrong, but ignore the Chinese doing the same in Africa today.
And while saying Europeans and their descendants should give all the land back, you’re an evil bigot if you don’t let all these other cultures and ethnicities into Europe.
The short answer - liberals don’t want everyone in their “homeland” - they want Europeans extinct because they attribute original sin and all evil in the world to them and hope that if said group’s ethnicity and culture is eradicated, we’d somehow get a weird paradise.

It’s my understanding that the Zulus have threatened war against the ANC. The ANC has threatened to expropriate (steal) traditional Zulu land.

The Zulus were given a homeland by the previous white government. It’s the equivalent to 28,000 square kilometres, or 10,811 square miles, and is administered by Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini.

The ANC has called King Zwelithini a petty dictator. In turn, Zwelithini has threatened violence and war against the ANC.

It’s my understanding that the private security firms in South Africa are better armed than both the South African police and military combined.

I’m speculating that if the Boer and Zulus ally themselves, the ANC has a huge problem on its hands.

I’ve now exhausted my meager knowledge of the South African situation. Should someone more knowledgeable than me wish to jump in and add corrections, feel free to so so.

Africa is a failure.

The richest country in Africa per capital, is the 37th richest is the world, Equitorial Guiana. African nations take up almost all of the bottom 50 poorest countries.

The Guardian print circulation is in the 100,000-150,000 range, same as any tiny town newspaper circulation ... the newest fake means to report circulation is to report ‘combined’ print circulation with online page hits because print numbers are so dismal ... combined numbers don’t mean jack and quoting wiki as a definitive source for any of that is simply quoting The Guardian itself since no doubt they control their own wiki page ... wiki is nothing but propaganda unless one is looking up something like the molecular weight of water ... and even that is sometimes suspect ...

There was a brief opening in leftist politics towards a sort of post-racial paradigm (no client groups in other words) but that lost steam back around 1970. I remember Pierre Trudeau of all people musing early on in his political career about just doing away with Canada’s whole Indian Act apparatus and everything that came with special status. Nowadays that sort of talk would be instantly labelled ultra-right wing. But if you think about it, the left is supposed to be less concerned with culture preservation than the right, so in some ways, the left should be entirely blind to racial differences. That was probably an ideal of communism that never actually saw much if any practical application to their otherwise doomed social engineering models.

Yes it is fascinating. The Boers (with the British forcing them) fought the Zulus (many reluctantly so) and defeated them. Now the ANC ruled South Africa has “cut out” the independent self-sustaining Zulu tribes from the political scene and are also taking true cooperatively run Zulu/Boer lands. So the long ago enemies are political allies against the anti-tribal communist (which really is one lesser tribe or tribes the Zulus conquered long ago, but had to give back under the Brit colonial rule (which led to this ANC idiocy, starting with Mandela,the communist. If you are interested in that there is this on youtube from Stefan Molyneux: The Truth About Nelson Mandela. It is a recitative presentation with info fact slides. Molyneux lived there in SA for a time with his dad.

And obamaumao was just there praising this new PM that is calling for “expropriation withouth compensation”. obamaumao goes from raising the rabble to steal white land— “redistribution” he calls it as always.... he goes from that to the National Cathedral in DC to do a eulogy along with bozo George W. Bush, a eulogy to the very white McCain (whose family owned a whole lot of slaves btw, and obamaumaos family traded slaves in good olde Kenya).

Ironic. the history of how they got here is worth this listen to Molyneaux link below— well put together in 2013 after mandela croaked, and obamaumao went the funeral and flirted with a blond, ticking off moochie the wookie (photos are hilarious- her disgust).
