Desirable countries for white SAs like New Zealand and Australia have strict criteria for allowing immigration, based mainly on skills and/or money the candidate possesses. So they are taking the most qualified of the white SAs- there are a lot more who would like to emigrate but don't qualify. You can't just pack up and leave for another country these days- it's actually pretty tough to emigrate to a desirable country.
Yup. And they are going to be easy pickins for the next wave of colonialists. The mooslim terror-scum
True, although I would suggest that certain races have had their cultures destroyed by the Left far more so than others. Consider the increase in unwed mothers in the U.S. Black population and how that statistic (and others) coincides almost directly with Johnson's Great Society programs. Their culture used to be comparatively sound, until the Left decided that they needed their 'help'.
Cultural/ethnic differences have far-reaching consequences.
These blacks are totally void of any productivity to the human race. I really feel sorry for them.
Their culture in the USA prior to the nanny state was far superior. They've been in a dwonward spiral since. And the better start listening to Cosby and Sowell and others, instead of 50 cent and Oprah and Julian Bonds, unless they want large swaths to become a permanent underclass.
If 20 million illegals get in here, we can certainly absorb 4 million English speakers from SA.
I've been trying to figure out how to short the S.A. Rand for years. Looks like I might just have to bite the bullet and sell futures on CME/IMM on any rally for the next five years.
If ever there was a currency that is absolute toast over time, it's the Rand. My sympathies to those remaining in S.A. -- my sister spend several months there a couple-three years ago, judging horse shows, of all things, and reports that the countryside and the people there are both quite wonderful.
She spent no time at all in what now passes for ''major'' cities there. Draw your own conclusions.

They ARE sewage!!
This article fails to mention that the educated Blacks are leaving too.
I'm imagining a Somalia but with incredible wealth from gold and diamonds. (((shudder)))
When they start buying ICBM's from The Only Fat Man In North Korea or perhaps the Iranians, we will all long for those quaint old days of necklacing and rampant carjackings...it will all seem so very touching, naive and quaint.
Yes, I assumed as much. I believe one of the comments at the bottom of the article mentions this discrepancy. I am curious about the number of black professionals leaving the country too. However, since whites are discriminated against, they are more likely to seek another country to relocate.

About ten years ago we knew a couple who fled SA and at that time there was a strict rule about how much money they could take out of the country. Consequently, they bought lots and lots of furniture in SA and brought it to the U.S. hoping to sell it for cash. Unfortunately, the furniture was rather unusual in design (beautiful wood, however) so it didn't fetch much and they had to start over from zero. They also said that their home in SA had become a fortification due to the crime.
I could not have said it better myself.
The smart ones are leaving and they are smart, productive people. I wish the US would let them in. I wish someone would help the elderly whites out, they shouldn't be left behind to face inevitable slaughter.
Or the Chinese. They would love to get their hands on the natural resources and space.
"Those who straggle will end up with nothing."
Or dead, God forbid.
I would suggest that the damage done to American Black culture by the Left is so deep and so complete that it is already a de-facto permanent underclass, in that it will take generations of right-thinking to overcome the cancer of the entitlement mentality. President Bush and some others (among them Gov. Mitt Romney, as I recall) .have made tremendous improvements and strides toward eradicating the welfare culture and have, in large measure, turned the welfare hammock into a much less comfortable chair, but the logic of their work has not been accepted by the Left (naturally) and so hundreds of millions of lives will be needlessly ruined for decades to come.
I've heard it said that if the Klan were to have been installed as America's Government, they could not have done more to harm America's Blacks than what the Left and LBJ's Great Society programs of the '60's have done.
Good point. And I would have suspected that as it is usually the educated in such situations who can, for various reasons, get out.
except here in the USA.....where we have no standards or rules.....anyone who wants to just walk in is welcome with OUR hard earned tax money paying for them....
