The Slow and Ugly Implosion of South Africa Continues
American Thinker.com ^ | July 31, 2020 | Eileen F. Toplansky

In 2018, Tucker Carlson highlighted the expropriation of land from white farmers in South Africa. He stated, "As land seizures based on skin color shows, South Africa is once again becoming a place where an entire group of people is targeted for discrimination and violence on the basis of their skin color."

Twenty-six years ago, "South Africans engaged in a peaceful revolution. As late as the 1980s commentators predicted that any transition from white minority domination and black majority rule would precipitate a bloody civil war. Instead, in 1994 South Africans replaced president F.W. de Klerk with Nelson Mandela in a free and fair election that astonished the world." Thus, "South Africans of all races voted in the country's first democratic elections, choosing Mandela as their first black president. The inhumane apartheid regime seemed to be miraculously ending peacefully, though much work remained to improve the lives of all South Africans." By the "late 1980s, however, South Africa's economy was in a deep recession and large segments of the country were becoming ungovernable."

Former president Jacob Zuma (2009–18) "brought the country a reputation for corruption and ineptitude." In fact, in 2018, the World Bank ranked South Africa as the most corrupt country in the world.

Separation (hopefully friendly) is the answer.

Blacks and whites have never been able to peacefully coexist together - anywhere.

Why insist on locking cats and dogs in the same cage?

South Africa is a basket case today.

Power black outs in the major cities.

Water unreliable in major cities.

Opposing black rival groups killing each other in a de facto slow but constant civil war.

This was where the first heart transplant occurred! They designed their own jet fighter... This was a thriving country with metropolitan cities, Universities, art and culture. Sad.

But hey, Bono should be happy today.

I hate to sound “racist”, but in modern times, only white’s and north-east asians, are capable of building and running first world countries. Of these, white nations are committing suicide on inter-sectional feminism, and population implosion and replacement.

What’s gone down in S. Africa is the model the commies, Rats, Antifa, BLM etc. are using to take us down. Several BLM leaders have stated that their goal is to take property from whites and redistribute to blacks. Don’t laugh folks, if the RATS get in anything can happen.

I remember when that book came out.

IMMEDIETLY it was discredited with bogus rhetorical arguments sounding “scientific.”

The basic idea in that book goes against egalitarianism. Most modern Western liberals/leftists believe in egalitarianism to varying degrees, some so extreme that they try to deny obvious physical differences between men and women, others just trying to downplay IQ and the implications of intelligence (their argument is almost always that the tests are inaccurate)...

Science in America today simply affirms what we want to believe.

Think of “reparations” as phase 1.

They did it in Zimbabwe / Rhodesia and now they are doing it in in South Africa. Some things never change.

Yes, you are right but you are not allowed to talk about it as we are being told we are all supposed to be equal. An age old dream which never dies but always fails.

Obama stated years ago South Africa was his model for America

And Ruth Bader Ginsberg openly admired their constitution.

But that Flys in the face of all people ane inherently good mantra of leftists. Not the you have to be on top, cause totaliarism is what they are all about.

I wonder if they believe their hatred and lies are good, or they all think they have an advantage over others because they are evil...

Coming to a country near YOU!

You'd better learn to stand up and fight and quit cowering in fear that the PC Marxists will call you a bad name.

Is The West Coast “Revolution’ we are witnessing here a precursor or just a vision of things to come in Zud Afrika?

We have a Mandela attitude in CONgre$$.. a Winnie ‘toss a Michelin ‘round the neck’ opposition party Mandela.

The latest lil Nelson pretender, Obammy, did all he could to fire up the crowd eulogizing a man now proclaimed a hero for taking blows to the head as he walked across a bridge he didn’t build.

Obama should tour Soweto there and then come to the local cities that have shantytowns and poor living standards as the rule. Where was he for 8 years, battling shaved ice cones and cigs?

Under black rule no less. Yes , Obama , keep talking .. and talking. while the hilltop Dems prepare a 4 Michelin tire pit stop for Trump.

Zimbabwe was able to limp along because of South Africa. Now that SA is collapsing, they have to someone to bail them out.

NO !
See if you can find the actual chronicle of migration into South Africa, who did it, where they came from, and exactly when each stage happened.

What the explorers found was a virtually empty land, inhabited by scattered tribes of Khoisan. The Khoisan were being exterminated by the invading Bantus from Central Africa, and begged the Boers for help. The British later encouraged the mass immigration of the foreign Bantu in their war against the Boers.
