“Of course if it’s the other way around (white/white)..it’s toxic.”
This article reminds me of Greenville, Texas back in the 50’s and early 60’s. the Chamber of Commerce had a banner strung across Main Street. Anyone recall what it said?
That’s fine, until they are competing with businesses that get tax breaks and easier access to capital because they are “minority/women owned” and because they hire a certain number of “women/minorities”.
My children's family business IS 'woman and minority owned', but it's never received a dime of federal assistance, nor gotten access to capital because of the race and gender of their parents. We've competed with such businesses for fifteen years, and we're still here and going strong.
This, even in the face of the corrupt use of illegal labor among our less scrupulous competitors.
Our business has survived and even thrived without handouts or unfair advantages doled out by Uncle Sugar, because we do things the old fashioned way - we earn it. That's all my kids know, and it's the mindset that will keep them strong and prosperous when the gubmint programs for minority businesses dry up and blow away.
“But this South African town, in the remote Northern Cape province, does not extend its welcome to everyone.”
Egregious hypocrisy, of course, as any plain fool can see; every other effing town in that nation is, more or less, for Blacks only.
And no one says a word about it.
If I recall correctly, it had something to do about not letting the sunset on one’s arse...
I’m genuinely happy for you; well done. In my area businesses in some sectors that wouldn’t use illegals have already gone under; they couldn’t compete in an area where money has gotten extremely tight (we have the highest costs and tacx burdens in the country, while jobs have disappeared and those still working have watched their income fall due to inflation). IF those vacant businesses are re-opened at some point down the road, our government has decided to help some people open them rather than others depending on their race/gender (I say “If” because after watching what happened in Detroit, I no longer assume things will return to the way they were 15 years ago).
I just clicked on your profile and see that you're in New Jersey. No wonder you've got the perspective you do.
I'm in Texas. Life is quite a bit different out here. For the most part, this part of the country is still America.
“I’m in Texas. Life is quite a bit different out here. For the most part, this part of the country is still America.”
Oh, I completely agree with you. This place is a mess, and any idea that illegal immigration would fix it has gone out the window in recent years as their costs close our hospitals and drive up the costs of our public school system. Whole towns now resemble Caracas or Lima, with nobody receiving a W-2 since they “arrived”.
The End is Near for South Africa’s Whites?
There is more to this than many people appear to understand.
During the CODESA negotiations between the white apartheid regime, represented by the ruling Nationalist political party, and the AFrican National Congress, many and various concessions were made by both sides, as well as certain compromises.
I shall not elaborate all of them. Let it suffice to say that, just as the ANC promised to allow the Directors General of the government departments, and others, to remain in their posts for a certain period after they assumed power, they agreed to allow hard-core militant Afrikaners (not only, but especially) to establish a teeny-little homeland (it amounts to a small town or a large village) in a remote, rural, semi-arid region of South Africa.
All of these things were done because the Nationalists warned the ANC that influential and powerful sectors of white South Africa needed incentives to reduce their virulent, and potentially violent, well-armed, opposition to what they perceived as the sell-out of South Africa to godless communism.
