South Africa criticises Australian plan to fast-track white farmer visas
The Guardian ^ | 3/14/3018 | Simon Allison

Posted on 03/16/2018 10:41:43 AM PDT by detective

South Africa has criticized Australian home affairs minister Peter Dutton’s offer to fast-track the visas of its white African farmers, saying his comments on the supposed threat to their lives and land were “sad” and “regrettable”.

A spokesperson for international relations minister Lindiwe Sisulu, said: “There is no need to fear … we want to say to the world that we are engaged in a process of land redistribution which is very important to address the imbalances of the past. But it is going to be done legally, and with due consideration of the economic impact and impact on individuals.”

If we can import unvetted muslims from Syria with no skills whatsoever, we sure as hell can bring in South African farmers.

In theory. In practice, I dare say there are all sorts of roadblocks to this. The media will oppose it, and they will steer much of the public against it.

“Any attacks on these white families should be met with military force from Australian and US forces.

These savages want to play genocide... they should pay a fearsome price if they try it.”
*********************I**********************************************
That’s not going to happen. There have already been thousands of white farmers murdered and the black racists governing South Africa have paid no price. Australia is simply recognizing the realities on the ground in RSA.

South Africa has a big issue with water. I say settle them on public land in Nevada and watch them irrigate the place. Colorado is now blue-another destination. Send the leftie south Africans to New Zealand, a leftist, farming country.

Ummmm.... yes, 100%. ANC was sponsored by the USSR. There is so much I could tell you. My family was pretty high up in the social structure in SA. Were the blacks oppressed, yes. Did our neighbors get pissed when our maids kids were invited over for vacation and got to swim with us in the pool, yes. Did the later found out to be a terrorist neighbors gardener tell my little brother he would protect our family when the SHTF, yes. That is the mildest stuff.

Do you personally know ANY Afrikaner ex-pats, or those still there?

I was good friends with a South African doctor for years, till he eventually moved away. I currently know one woman from South Africa.

The Doctor was a right-wing radical that was sometimes too far out even for my taste.

Can you manage to figure out, all on your own, just how many of them are supporters of the ANC?

I don't mean the ANC. Of course I don't expect many white South Africans to support the ANC, but back during the Botha government, the Whites were voting for pretty socialist policies then, were they not?

You're too new here to know that at one time there was actually a group of ex-pat Afrikaners,many of whom were/are now American citizens, posting here, but there was such a group ( now disbanded ), all of whom were Conservatives and GOP voters!

This is what I would hope, but I no longer trust foreign white people to be sane. One only need take a look at Europe and realize we don't want any of them coming over here to vote.

The vast majority of European whites would vote us into deeper socialism.

“We should have every airframe in the US Air Force inventory emergency air lifting the whites out of SOuth Africa today.”

That would be quite an undertaking.

First, how and who would determine who is white and who is not white when boarding the flights to America?

Second, let’s suppose there are 6,000,000 white in South Africa and a typical wide body aircraft has a 250 person capacity.

To evacuate those 6,000,000 whites, it would have 24,000 flights and but would require 48,000 wide body flights for such an evacuation.

The flight to Cape Town is around 14 hours and the cost to fly a Boeing 777 is around $11,000.00 per hour.

That’s $132,000.00 per flight and with your required 48,000 flights, that would cost $6,336,000,000.

Who is going to pay for this?

Think it through. If we were to take them, our anti-white racists who are out of control would scream “racism” and insist that larger numbers of blacks be taken in from failed African nations. That would be our death knell. It would be better for Australia, Canada, and Russia to take in these farmers who subscribe to European laws, traditions, and culture.

Indeed.

There has been a steady stream of white professionals leaving South Africa for decades. I spoke with one and asked why she left. The reason? No future there for her children.

Those are pretty good suggestions.

OTOH, there is a rather large ex-pat Afrikaner community in Texas, where they are thriving. Send many there too; to combat the influx of the damned ILLEGAL ALIEN SCUM!

It is far more difficult for a farmer to move than a white collar professional to move.

Some of my extended family lives in RSA and they are the descendants of the original settlers.

Some family members are now American citizens and they and their friends are people you would like and trust.

Lots of the RSA FR group were better Conservatives and posters, than the American born, bred, their families had been here forever ones.

Are there some lefty/stupid Afrikaners?

Sure there are, but in reality not all that many! To hell with them!

[ South Africa today is the USA if Trump loses in 2020 ]

Very possible if the Democrats get back in majority power.

One need only look at the insanity they embraced and promoted under the Lying Kenyan to see how insane they truly are.

Riots, burning, looting, assault, Stonewall Inn a “national monument”, a gay pride White House, booing God, booing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, illegal border jumps (W and Jeb! right on board).

I try to keep up, but as I mentioned, this seemed to me what would be the eventual consequence of relinquishing power to "Democracy."

Just as any rational person could have predicted that "Democracy" in the middle east would immediately result in the election of a "Theocracy", so too could any rational person predict that "Democracy" in an African nation with a lopsided majority of Blacks and a minority of Whites would end up as a Crony Socialist revenge scheme against the Whites.

Hell, even Mandela could see that coming, and tried to stave it off somewhat.

Put them in purple states.

And grant them pieces of federally owned land in arable areas.

True, except that guff about old "Saint Nelson" the POS terrorist COMMIE!

For decades, people in RSA claimed that all hell would break out, once Mandela died. Actually, it broke out after about 1 year, or so, with Nelson in power.

I think you posted that before. Only yesterday I showed that video to a couple of friends, and we all could not stop laughing.

Die Antwoord is trying very hard to blend in culturally, we surmise.

I saw them in the movie "Chappie". Thought they were nuts then.
