Does Haiti count?. Once considered the “Paris of the Caribbean” it actually had a higher GDP than America. Of course the French gave complete control to the “black population” over two hundred years ago.
It has been ruled by blacks ever since.
Today it’s a world class cesspool on every level. The World Bank notes that more than half of Haitis population lives on less than $1 a day, while about 80% of the country lives on less than $2 a day. The countrys estimated unemployment rate as of 2010 was 40.6%.
It is the poorest country in the world.
Sounds like a worthwhile book.
It is, for the most part, a good book, and a good summary of the culture wars. Bear in mind that Mercer is a South African liberal, and she still holds some curious positions, even if she describes herself as libertarian. I enjoyed the book, but I cannot stand reading most of her columns.
I'm surprised there are any white land holders left anywhere in S. Africa...
That fellow sounds like a likely nominee for the Democrats in 2016.
Better start stocking up on that toilet paper now.
If the USA had any sense we’d let white people from South Africa immigrate before the genocide starts.
Obama only wants Muslims to come here
Short answer: no.
Majority of them are as you fear...they will not stand tall.
“...a large part of them are English-speaking liberals who fought against the Afrikaners, ...”
Then they deserve what follows. F*** ‘em.
Then as I said in the post immediately above this one - they get what they deserve.
They’re complicit in their own demise.
Breaking news......mandela is still dead
My friends family is six or more generations removed from France living in SA. For over 20 years I have been warning them as to what was coming their way. They should have seen it since SA is thick with refugees from Zimbabwe, the SA folks call “When-We’s”, because every conversation with someone from Zimbabwe start with “When we lived in Zimbabwe....”
These people even have photo’s of Mandela on their mantle. They lost their spirit somewhere.
“...They lost their spirit somewhere....”
And their minds too, evidently.
Sorry for your friends. They’re probably going to be “Kulaked” like Stalin did to the Ukrainians.
Same playbook, different set of thugs.
The brainwashing of our people has been almost unbelievable.
I say “Go For It.”
Let people see once and for all the failure of Communism.
Yes South Africa’ try Communism, then all - except the ruling class will be poor - the Ruling class will be RICHER!
Sad to say, but yes. By the time they believe what the consequences are, it will be way too late, and South Africa will become yet another African statistic. I quite frankly don’t care what happens to the liberals there, they are still fighting “apartheid” 20 years later, even though very few of the current issues are related to that.
One just has to feel for the 400,000 Afrikaners living in absolute poverty in squatter camps, not because they won’t fight, but because they have no means to do so. They do not qualify for government help, and charities cannot give to them exclusively.
“...One just has to feel for the 400,000 Afrikaners living in absolute poverty in squatter camps, not because they wont fight, but because they have no means to do so...”
In a better time, with better people in charge, we’d be airdropping advisers and weapons to them to help them.
Hopefully they’ll find a way to leave and bring their brains, expertise, and productive mindset here.
