If I had a nickel for every time a Libtard Warrior hatched a plan for social justice using anybody else's money but their own... I'd have a whole lotta nickels.
The Europeans that came to SA were by and large protestants fleeing religious persecution - not unlike the early American settlers. Now when they (like us) landed on the shores of "our" new land, they were greeted by very primitive people (savages if you will). There are two choices at that point: sacrifice yourself or conquer. Not unlike the animal kingdom, survival of the fittest won out.
Many of the native Africans continue to be a very primitive people. In an article that I read, a SJW claims that White Privilege is the primary source of the local African's dilemma. He talked about the white's advantage via "capital" accumulation and actually went on to include education as a capital saying that whites continue to be more skilled and attain higher education levels than their black counterparts. He said that black SA's remain heavily under-represented in the skilled labor market as they are largely unskilled... (lol? Out of the mouth of babes.. that's called accidental lucidity right there.)
Now there's two ways to interpret this, the adult way, and the Libtard way. The adult (Conservative) would say that the native SA's have been free since 1994 and are now living in a free market, and while it's going to be very tough at first, through strong families and education attainment, there is no reason why they cannot lift themselves out of poverty just as every single immigrant that has ever come to America has had to do. The childlike Libtard says, "NOT FAIR! (tears in eyes) These poor Africans were ripped from their lands (living in the lap of luxury at the time no doubt - just look at all the shining cosmopolitan examples of uncolonized parts of Africa) and forced to stay on the other side of the tracks for decades. Reparations MUST be made and by reparations I mean the wealth that the whites have been able to accumulate through discipline, hard work, education, technology, trade, (-- AND LAND THEFT!!!!!111 during settlement --) must be confiscated and redistributed.
Childlike solutions won't work in SA; Nor will socialism - which has been tried umpteen times on that very same continent and failed miserably in ALL cases. Since 1994 there have been thousands of white farmers murdered; there have also been thousands of native Africans murdered. Both sides have blood on their hands. But as each year ticks away so do the excuses of the natives for why their impoverished conditions exist.
A comment was made at the end of an article that likely embodies the feelings of many SA whites.
"What I can’t understand is, the black people constantly remind us they were here before the white settlers. Can they please explain to me, why then, did they not develop the country before the whites got here? White people came to this country with not much. They developed this country using their knowledge, intellect and manpower. They reached out to black people by offering them jobs. The apartheid government built schools and hospitals for the black people….why did they never built their own, seeing they were here before us. Whites received nothing for free, we had to work for every single thing we own. Stop waiting for white people to give you everything, go out use your knowledge, intellect and manpower to achieve success."
CB's extreme solution now that religious persecution in Europe is largely over. Why don't the remaining white South Africans pronounce to the rest of the world that they are willing to liquidate their possessions to the government in exchange for a job and a decent mortgage in some other country. In doing so they can return the entire SA infrastructure - as it stands - to the local natives and allow them to have a go at it. This is what the natives want right?
I would love to watch that experiment unfold. Maybe they could turn it into Wakanda...
