In 2018, Tucker Carlson highlighted the expropriation of land from White farmers in South Africa. He stated "[a]s 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 Africas 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.
In 2018, Hammond and Tupy "in reviewing South Africa's flirtation with the idea of changing its constitution to let the state expropriate farmland without compensation, wrote that South Africa need only look north to Zimbabwe to see the disastrous consequences of this kind of policy." Zimbabwe's former dictator Robert Mugabe gave "the green light to his paramilitary supporters to invade commercial farms, seize some 23 million acres of land and the confiscated farms were resettled with small scale agriculturalists.

Whites should get out while they still have their lives. They also should burn and destroy their own property as they go. The Black supremacists can have their Marxist one race dream and starve.>>> I have a friend who was a wealthy software company owner who fled in the 1990’s. He could not take his money with him.
No. It’s rotting now because S. Africa is adopting failed policies that have turned other prosperous nations into hellholes.
I read this about Grosse Point Mi and the ghetto that surrounds it. Shows the divide between blacks and whites. Once the Walt Kowalaskis of the US are gone the US will be a 2nd or 3rd world sh*t hole.
“On the Detroit side of the tunnel, many houses are boarded up and grass grows tall and wild. Loud music booms from a passing truck. On the Grosse Pointe side, all is quiet but for the buzzing sound of lawnmowers maintaining the meticulous landscaping.”
Some people got very creative in smuggling out their resources, if they had time. Jewelry was one route...wear high-quality gold and diamonds on your person (registered with customs) on the way out, sell them in the West and deposit the money in a Western account, and replace them with lower-quality or fakes for the return home.

Basically none of the blacks in South Africa these days are descendants of people who were “original inhabitants” while many of the white people still remaining have roots that go back hundreds of years
Keep believing that.
Europe is Europe because of Europeans.
Africa is Africa because of Africans.
The blacks couldn't win much without ((help)).
If you love money more than your life, there's an excellent chance you will lose both.
At that point, you REALLY "can't take it with you".
The blacks won, the whites lost.

I watched the global progs elevate Mandela, using the leverage of anti-apartheid whites. It did not happen in a vacuum. It was *astonishing* in exactly the same way zer0’s electoral victory was *astonishing*.
Those same whites, some of them sadly ex-pat South Africans, are now trying the same tactics here.
Even now, the ANC has black opposition in the form of the Zulus.
Winning is never a done deal, as Reagan told us.
...before the Boer came,...

There were not that many people in South Africa before the Boer. From what I’ve read, they were mostly hunters and gatherers.
It was the astonishing rise in production and standard of living and the availability of paid work and food that attracted outside tribes in high numbers. Now they are there permanently and they cannot feed themselves. In nearly 400 years, the continental indigenous did not learn how to farm from the Europeans. As you say: the men believed themselves superior to farming. But well-positioned ANC women were also given land and they were just as incapable of meaningful production.
The Prog Left destroyed it, because they were salivating over the prospect of a black communist nation with nukes. No way they will disband the US military if they win here, either. And Americans will not disable their armament as the South Africans purportedly did. (Not certain just how that actually went down, though)
Why is it that when white people exploit black people, there is development and prosperity, and when black people exploit black people there is devastation and failure?

And when black people exploit white people, there is genocide.
Things that make you go: “H’mmmmm.”
They want to fast track starvation? Fine.
As long as they know American citizens aren't to send them food or bail them out - 'cause giving land to people who don't know how to farm, won't work.
What happeneds when you make enemies of the white man
The world owes F.W. de Klerk a debt of gratitude for dismantling South Africa's nuclear weapons before the handover of the country to the ANC. Allowing nukes to fall into their hands would have been a nightmare scenario.
In reading THE WASHING OF THE SPEARS the native men considered themselves warriors, the women were the farmers, and the kids cattle herdsmen.
Now I think of it, the American Plains Indian felt the same.
...the American Plains Indian felt the same.

Saw it in Papua in the 70s. Women digging with sticks and carrying 40 pounds of vegetables on a tumplime while the men would deign to carry firewood, an airline flight bag, or a male child (and not all at the same time.
Most of the time, the men strolled in a group, laughing and weaving grass armbands.
When the sun went down, the men carried out ambushes on other villages. They called it *payback*. And they spent loads of time in the ‘men only’ huts, chewing betel and roasting yams.
I’d call it a hard-wired tribal human default, except in primitive European settlements, men did real work and the women were alongside them. There was still work separated by gender (mostly), but both actually produced value for the village and individual families.
What they dont tell you is that there actually was a black moddle class during apartheid.
