A group of white South Africans marched Thursday to protest murders of farmers and the “oppression” they say whites suffer, despite remaining the country’s most privileged section of society 19 years after the arrival of all-race democracy.
Around 400 Afrikaners, descendants of Dutch settlers, released hundreds of red balloons in Pretoria in memory of white victims of brutal murders, many of them commercial farmers. …
Dressed in red, the group converged at the Union Buildings, the seat of government, chanting slogans like “Stop white genocide!” and brandishing posters that read “No farmer, no food, no future.”
They claim whites have suffered since apartheid ended and Afrikaners ceded power to Nelson Mandela’s African National Congress party in 1994. …

Wonderful people, very sad.
Just whom are they addressing with a plea to "stop white genocide"? If Afrikaners did not prevent the looming genocide when they controlled the SADF and had nuclear weapons, they sure as hell aren't going to stop it now that it's underway.
Everyone should see the film “Mugabe and the White African” (2009). It documents a similar action in Zimbabwe, and the struggle of a white farmer, aided by a black attorney and black employees, to continue farming. The farmer and his family was eventually violently driven from the farm and although grievously injured, he and his family members survived and were able to flee the country. I documented the thuggish greed of the dictator in rewarding his cronies and trashing the agricultural economy.
I have tried to get a local liberl movie art house to show this film, but they did not respond to my request. The movie is rated 97% fresh at the Rotten Tomatoes website.

South Africa desperately needs a white MLK.
They had Rhodesia next door and they could see what happened there when it was made into Zimbabwe. I am surprised that they did not emigrate or at least have plans to emigrate.
Or Tamerlane?
It makes me angry to think of all the Ivy League schools who led the AntiApartheid movement in the 80s, and all the liberal who aided the African debacle in the name of “Social Justice”, and escape unscathed.
Being a liberal means never having to accept responsibility for your actions.
“despite remaining the country’s most privileged section of society 19 years after the arrival of all-race democracy”
“despite”?!
What the heck does the reporter mean by that. . .? Despite! These White farmers are being tortured and murdered, as are their familes, and someohow the reporter tries to mitigate the brutality by saying “despite,” like the reporter is saying that because they are “privileged” somehow they get no sympathy. That is how I read the tone of this report.
“They claim Whites have suffered since apartheid ended. . .”
Claimed??!! CLAIMED?!! This is not a mere claim, this is fact!
The reporter is an idiot.
I read about this a few months back from an African news site. The article showed young Blacks holding signs saying: “Kill the white farmer”. There were pictures of whites that were hacked up and murdered.
Just mind boggling why someone would want to kill the very same people that are feeding them.
I believe this started several years ago in Rhodesia, nonetheless, the USA - the “leader of the free world”, now has a racist in charge that’s encouraged violent racism in his own country. This must have some effect on the SA racists wanting to go at it a little harder.
On the contrary - they ran off feeling self righteous and studiously ignored the chaos and hardship that they caused - as they always do.
The poor blacks in Africa deserve so much better. You would think these liberals were racist by what they have done to the Africans by destroying the civilization there. They should harbor liberal guilt and self loathing for being liberals.
I can't think of any worse way of being "oppressed" than being murdered, can you Yahoo! News?
Being "the most privileged section of society" doesn't mean one helluva lot when your dead.
Happens here every day.
MLK's appeals succeeded, ultimately, because his target audience was made up of decent, God-fearing white Christians, who at the time were 90% of the country.
Having 8% of the SA population making a moral appeal to substance-level animist and polytheist Bantus may not have quite the same outcome.
Rhodesia Part deaux..................
Yep...if the Brits had any balls they would go back and clean house. No more Cecil Rhodes’ around anymore!
Google, “Wait until Mandela Dies”. That’s when the White Genocide starts.
Read the Sowell article today - he points out the fact that we have people here who kill and want to kill those who feed them.
The Brits should have an airlift and remove all the white farmers and set them up somewhere else.
Let SA starve.
