Partner, the white S.A. farmers right now are descendants of the Boer folks who came from the Netherlands a long time ago.

They fought the Zulu blacks and when the White South African won the battle they got the land in this war and the Black Zulus were o.k. with this since they were given lands where they could live independently of the whites. You probably know the history of this country better than I do right now.

Now, since so many blacks have moved into S.A. they control the voting over the prosperous whites.

I call this Bravo Sierra on these black folks and they are really the Communist/Socialist/Anarchist party down in South Africa right now.

The White Farmers have made the land work for the people of South Africa. The blacks have profited and everybody else that is down there has profited from the hard work these farmers put into producing crops and raising cattle.

Partner, this is why President Trump has asked someone in his administration to look into this problem and maybe the U.S. can offer the white farmers some of our land since they are very good in raising cattle and growing crops.

President Trump is showing he has a great big heart that is really larger that his own body. Wow!!!!!

My knowledge of SA history comes primarily from the James Michener novel The Covenant, which begins with the Dutch establishing their resupply station for their voyages to and from the Dutch East Indies. And from what I've read on and off since reading that novel in the 1980s, the history presented by Michener is pretty accurate.

He clearly showed that the black Africans had been migrating down from central Africa for centuries, and that the whites were in SA before any of the black tribes from central Africa. And that the San people, or Hottentots, were the native people in SA when the Dutch first arrived.

But it has always been fairly preposterous that the roughly 10% white population would, or could raise the living and educations standards of the other 90% to the same standards. An impossible task. I don't seen any good outcome as things now stand and I'm also glad that President Trump has opened this subject and asked Pompeo to give him a report on the situation.

Think I'll found that old novel and reread it since developments in SA seem to be entering a critical period.
