South Africa

Religious nutters is a pretty callous phrase. As a non-Christian, I still have tremendous respect for sincere practicioners of the faith. It is one of the pillars of the West, or at least the West that was. Are the afrikaners to be castigated because the west's secularisation left them behind?  They dont even have an oppressive, centrally-ran civic church like an orthodox state; they are merely genuinely pious, and this is their religious crime.

It's nonsense to say SA would have fell without the West's persistant and ruinous interference. Treating SA like a basic member of the western family of nations would have sown profitable dividends, for the West, South Africa, and Africa as a whole.

  The eight seperate bantu nations outnumbered whites only on a 4:1 basis before apartheid fell, and they were increasingly moving torwards self rule.  It was a ploddering, stumbling and impoverished self rule, because the african continent is home to ploddering, stumbling and impoverished kaffirs. However, an independent government with heavy economic and governmental assistance from a western country would uplift them, by gradual degrees.   

The millions of Coloureds in South Africa viewed themselves as an extension of Western South Africa, and the real crime of the Apartheid government is not reaching out more to these unfortunate sons. SA had a good concensus amogn the governed, and was hardly a police state- its number of police never equalled that of NYC, and over half of these were non-white. Irregardless, the ANC, PAC and other associated terrorist groups were cheered, trained and armed abroad, while socialists in Europe who would weep and protest for the hanging of a murderer gave tacit or vocal support to the murder of white families in southern Africa, preferring the supposed tyranny of white democracy be replaced with the actual tyranny of black dictatorship.

South Africa was treated by the rest of the world as if it was just another colonial government, that had to be ended for majority rule to surface in Africa. As a result, a western nation was engulfed in flames, overthrown, and an entire people now face destruction- even as those people fought communism and the second world more consistently and at greater cost to themselves than America.  The destruction of SA was not wholly engendered by the West; The Eastern bloc and the odious influence of communism must take enormous credit, but their socialist fellow-travellers in the west were certaintly not slow to applaud the efforts of terrorists inside SA and condemn any attempt to resist them.

The destruction of SA and Apartheid was not at all a foregone conclusion, as some of you say. But it -is- the fault of the West, and the West is that much poorer for it's destruction.

Warning level raised for owning too many RaHoWa albums.

Wait for 24 hours, and see what happens to your level then, my secessionist friend.


This wouldn't have been necessary if that secessionist poster hadn't started it. They never learn. You see, secession has to be cleared away by the hand of God like the Jews of old. Now I will have to burn this thread.

Oh no need to wait 24 hours Senor Money.

Personally, I think that Lettow brings up an interesting point.
