It is not complex. Anybody with any sense is going to recognize that SA will follow Zim in going to hell, it is just dragging out a while longer.

I know some folks that have been there since about 1650. Tell them what is complex about getting screwed over.

Like I tell my kids, once they are the minority the good ole USA is fucked.

The sadness, that is mother Africa now, is the reality of a people that never evolved to a modern vision of future. Their idea of future, as borrowed from the Europeans, is lost in the violent history of tribalism. One sees all of the ugly roots of tribalism as manifest destiny in Africa.
As I see it, Apartheid was one way of managing a population running amuck and benefiting not many. It did not really benefit the whites or the blacks in RSA. There may have been many autocracies by whites but I doubt anyone could equate the brutality occasionally seen in RSA to that experienced in Rwanda with the genocide (tribal) which left an estimated 2 million dead in less than a year. One only has to see the tribal equalization occurring in Somalia to understand the all the education and direction in the world wont change the ethnic cleansing going on there.

There are numerous areas in the world that are undergoing change and apartheid should be brought back. In Germany after WW II the Turks were allowed to come in as workers. Many stayed and became citizens and the German Culture is being changed from within such that it may eventually become a second Turkey. The same problems exist for Israel. If the Palestinians are allowed in and eventually allowed a vote then Israel will die a slow death. Australia and Canada are bringing in so many out of culture peoples that their society is changing and could evolve into a third world base. Our own country is constantly being assaulted from the south and all of those people are going to change our country from the strong nation we are to a third world nation unless we do something about it soon.

Remember, when our forefathers came to America they came for a better life and wanted to be included and become Americans. Now they come from the shit hole country of origin and want to reduce my country to shit level. Let them stay there and fix their problems and not bring them to mine.

Gerard,
We had boers in Texas, we called them Texas Rangers and a small unit of those old boys cleaned out Texas of white and Mexican renegades, Indians and Al Queda! Like your ancestors they were a horse mounted bunch of rag tag bad ass folks that didn't mind a good fight and would take that fight right to you....Makes you proud don't it...

The truth of the matter is many of the Texas rangers like my grandfather, John Hess who became a Ranger at the age of 13 to fight cattle thieves on the Tex-mex border, were of Boer background and culture, mostly hard headed Germans and Dutch who established communities such as New Brunsfels, Fredicksburg and many other Kraut communities in Texas.

Just think 13 years old, man they grew up in a hurry back then..When you look at us today, its apparant we sure have turned soft from lack of need...However our boys in Iraq ain't no bunch of huckelberries! they doing a good job
