Rhetoric of blame is now a white lie (AFRICA, HEAL THYSELF)
The Daily Telegraph ^ | September 3, 2002 | Tim Butcher
"I remember Africa in the 1960s, everyone was filled with high expectations after independence. Forty years on, Africa is a series of kleptocracies, many worse off than they were under colonial rule. Almost all of the common people in relative worse shape to the rest of the world than they were before independence. Africans after 40 years have no one to blame but their own leadership for their problems. The leaders want to deflect blame to the West. The West's not buying it anymore..."

I've said it before and I'll say it again. White people need to get out of Africa. Get out. Get out now. Leave. Escape. GO!! I know it's your home, and I'm sorry, but you are birds in a snake pit. GET OUT!!!!!!! Come to America. Go to Europe.

But

get

out!

Leave them to their own devices. They'll implode.

Come to America

Do you have any idea just how difficult it is to get to America legally? Or Europe, Australia et al? Now if they were to stroll across the southern border speaking Spanish, that's another story.

Thanks for looking, and I appreciate your comments.

Sadly agree-- between the hammer of AIDS, and the anvil of corrupt, despotic leaders, any good in Africa will be crushed.

Given the incompetence to African political leadership (with the exception of a few countries), I wouldn't be surprised that the African continent loses 25-45% of its population by 2050. It would appear that Malthus is right--but then it was human folly that did this, not forces of nature as Malthus surmised.

And the liberals will cry out (while tearing at their hair) about how it is all America's fault (through inaction); the newspapers will inundate us with stories about how women, children, and the poor were hit hardest; and the UN will make ever-increasing demands for our hard-earned money so that they can use it to "fix" the problem (by giving it the tyrants who caused the starvation in the first place).

Bump.

You're right it is hard to get into America legally. But there are places to go - ANY place would be better than Zimbabwe for white farmers right now.

[TheRedSoxWinThePennant]

sorry all out of tissues for africa they are led by corrupt dictators and its up to the people to wake and sacrifice their own blood to overthrow these people and start over we did it in 1776 and they can as well

[Travis McGee]

A rich country can easily be reduced to destitution and starvation by a tyrant, but only after the people are disarmed.

I would like to see the non blacks to be allowed to immigrate to the US. Politically, that is impossible. If you let the african whites in, there will be hordes of blacks, possibly even most of the continent who can make the same claims of persecution, starvation, etc. that they too should be allowed to emmigrate. Denying these blacks the opportunity to escape would be political suicide due to charges of racism. Letting them in would be economic suicide. The whites will have to be sacrificed.

Here is also why big govt. fails big time. Govt. must be "fair" at all costs and at the expense of common sense or practicality. Common sense and practicality require letting the whites in. Fairness demands that they not be let in. Making the govt. less powerful and the individual people more powerful should always be the ultimate goal as there is not a sane individual that would not let the whites in and keep most of the blacks out. There is not a sane govt. that would not do the opposite.

I am at a loss of words. What these Marxist-Leninist have done is typical. Wish it were otherwise.

[MrNatural]

What about Canada? Arrive on a temporary visa, on vacation, and cross
into the US. With the help of other South Africans already here, legally,
and others who sympathise with their plight, they could make a go of it here.

I know of many young people from Russia and Eastern Europe who got
into the US as students and never went back. If South Americans can do it, South Africans can do it. Illegal? Maybe, but this is life-and-death:
desperate times call for desperate measures.

[TexasRepublic]

Any white that hasn't or won't make an honest effort to leave Zimbabwe probably needs to be removed from the gene pool anyway.

[snopercod]

How hard would it be to send a little military aid to these embattled white farmers? We must have some surplus WWII tanks lying around in mothballs someplace.

[Righty1]

Absolutely! Or you could found a terrorist funding operation and then ask for amnesty. Our immigration policies are maximized to damage this country. The Klintoons just speeded up a long term trend.

Yup. Started in 1964.

[First_Salute]

If we don't get in there and help white and black, this country will become the Afghanistan of Africa.
