Survival of the whitest: inside an Afrikaner boot camp
The Telegraph ^ | 18 Nov 2011 | Elles van Gelder

Posted on 12/10/2011 1:28:13 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Thick clouds of diesel smoke fill the air outside a rundown guest farm, three hours’ drive east of Johannesburg.

As the stench dissipates, a group of boys, aged between 13 and 19, spill from the bed of a rusty truck, lugging huge bags full of military clothing.

'There are old bloodstains on my uniform,’ one of them says, as he trades his trainers for army boots.

Shouted orders ring out. Groaning, the boys raise 15ft tent poles among the cowpats dotting the grassland. The large army tent that they put up will be their home for the next nine days.

South African teenagers often go off to camp during school holidays to learn how to start fires, build huts and identify animal tracks. But this survival camp is different. Here, the focus is on the survival of white South Africans.

The participants are all Afrikaners, descendants of Dutch, German and French colonists. They are also all children of the 'born-free’ generation, born after 1990 into a multiracial South Africa.

Not self defense, but just plain ignorance

"What you say doesn't agree with my preconceived notions" == "You're ignorant". It gets tiresome hearing this Leftist line of reasoning.

Given what's been happening to whites right next door in Zimbabwe, their viewpoint seems very rational.

I take it that you agree with Jooste when he says:

“’Who are these creatures? The blacks.’ Jooste goes on to tell the boys that black people have a smaller cerebral cortex than whites, and thus cannot take initiative or govern effectively.”

Joost is a racist and a moron and thankfully his ilk can not even garner 1% of the vote in South Africa.

The falsity of his position on effective governance is readily evident when one observes the efficient, well-run, prosperous countries of sub-Saharan Africa.

Look up Botswana. They aren't doing too badly now.
