Remember all the speeches about apartheid? As I recall, Jesse Jackson got involved in South African politics. It was the issue of our time, as they often say.
For the record, apartheid was terrible and a correction was needed. However, it's hard to see what's happening in South Africa today. The country is a financial mess and the extremes seem to be doing all the talking.
This is the sad story:
South Africa's Marxist-Leninist political party, the Economic Freedom Fighters, celebrated its 10th anniversary over the weekend.
After the radical group's demagogic leader emphasized, "We are with President Putin... We are Putin, and Putin is us, and... we are not with the USA," Julius Malema led nearly 100,000 of his followers in singing the anti-white hate song, "Dubul' ibhunu," known as "Shoot to kill, kill the Boer, kill the farmer."
Video of the bloodthirsty chant at the FNB Stadium, complete with gun sounds, has gone viral, prompting outrage and concern from the world's richest man, South African Twitter CEO Elon Musk, who wrote, "They are openly pushing for genocide of white people in South Africa."
It sounds like they are in fact pushing for genocide of white people.
All this reminds me of a conversation that I had with a White South African family recently relocated to Texas. They were simple farmers and descendants of people who had moved there over a century ago. The young father confirmed that people were leaving and heading to Australia, New Zealand, or the U.S. He felt that they'd be in danger back home and wanted his young kids to grow up in a different world.
Once upon a time, Nelson Mandela was the darling of the West.

Wasn’t South Africa basically uninhabited before British colonization? To me the whole idea of returning SA to black rule is like when you put a child’s toy away that the child never played with, but once it’s put away, well...South Africa
It’s the right kind of racism now, so there is nothing to care about...
”Word.”
Send Bono and Sean Penn down there to fix the problem.
Any luck, and neither will ever return.
The world would be a better place.
Dutch I think.
Mandela would say the same thing that black leaders in America say when black kills white or anyone else. NOTHING.
Yeah, where’s Bono?
Not playing Sun City, I assume?
Yes the Dutch were there first. The Netherlands lost a naval war to GB and had to give up the colony. I think it was the same war where the Dutch gave up New Amsterdam now NY.
This is the result that leftist plan to do to whites in America.
Thank you for the clarification.
All races are probably equal in the eyes of God. But all cultures evidently aren't. Haiti and South Africa aren't cesspools because of skin color. They are cesspools because they came to power without the kind of spiritual awakenings we had in the First and Second Great Awakenings. That's what made us great. And us getting away from that is why we're becoming a new cesspool.
“Funny that all the Marxists still love Putin”
Sometimes you have to trust the Marxists and believe what they say. They love Putin because they see him for the New Soviet Man he has been all of his life.
Religious nonsense. The Bell Curve is real.
No, a lot of Marxists despise Putin, they see him more as a Fascist, and his support is just out of opportunism rather than ideology.
Well it must have been better for blacks too then
They sure streamed into the apartheid nation mostly from Mozambique for work and a better standard of living
And a fair number of coloreds and Indians
Same old story as my ancestry could attest to
We’re doing it here now without an apartheid component
We’ve browned the complexion of America in two generations by 15-20% points depending on who’s counting
Course uniparty swears it’s all good after all in Florida 60% Hispanics voted DeSantis and Texas Hispanics liked Jorge
Nations generally only do this under the duress of conquest
It’s foolishness and nobody voted for it
“No, a lot of Marxists despise Putin”
Hmm, maybe some suburban “Marxists” on facebook. I’m talking about the real ones, who actually aren’t afraid of guns and are willing to topple governments.
This time, the UN will not care.
Racism by Melanites against Caucasians is always acceptable and of no moment even if it includes frequent killings- such killings are not deemed murder because of the skin pigment of the killer and that of the corpse.
Indeed.
Mandela was a self described marxist. He would have considered the current situation o be a bit messy but just some of the eggs that must be broken for the omelet.
