You got that right. You’ve got Olympic level athletes on prosthetics chasing motherfuckers down and shooting them. That’s some scary shit. At least some places you can try to outrun your would-be assailants, but not there.
i’ve read articles and stats about south africa, but i’m mostly basing my opinion on my dozen or so friends that are south african or have traveled/lived there. i’ve literally heard so many people (unprompted) tell me how dangerous their country is/was. that said, they didn’t seem particularly worried about it, so i’m sure there are lots of nice parts as well.
A few years back i remember seeing this thing about white poverty in south africa. They interviewed this guy who mentioned that during apartheid whites had a 100% employment rate.
After apartheid he got removed from his office job with a cushy pension, blew the money decided he didn’t want to work under blacks.
Now guy is complaining the gov should do more for whites who are broke or close to being broke. Like seriously lol bitch you had like 10 years to move stay free.
I wanna put this well thought out post on the complicated life of post apartheid South Africa but w/e: if the white people wanna fuck off to some little place why bother them?
As long as this doesn’t interfere with the Stormers being able to have both white and black players, once again, its w/e.
You gotta be a certain level of fucking moron to think South Africa is fucked up because of the African people who are now just getting over the slump of fucking slavery and apartheid .Not the white people who completely destroyed the country and are now bitching that the actual inhabitants of the country want them to get the fuck out of their country .Im not even mad at the white farmers who are getting killed or ran off the land because they didn’t care about the Africans who had the shit first .Folks saying the government and country is destabilized because of the end of apartheid and the whites loosing power must not realize they weren’t even supposed to be there in the first place .
aaaaand there it is. White folks march into places, terraform them into their image, and then look down on the people they had to step on to get there. I can only imagine what Africa would have been like without European influence.
…and don’t even get me started on how much of an oxymoron I think “African Christian” is.
I wonder what it would have been like if they hadn’t done a half-assed job of conquering South Africa.
You can’t just show up on other peoples territory and start colonizing and not expect trouble.
The AWB (for those who don’t know what I’m talking about, Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging or Afrikaner Resistance Movement, a white supremacist movement spearheaded by the deceased) was initially up in arms, but nothing came of it. There was talk of retaliatory action, but in all honesty, who do you target if the individuals responsible for his death were apprehended and charged accordingly? It was an isolated incident, but that is not how it was originally perceived.
@Thurst, South Africa is a beautiful country. Anyone who has any doubts about SA should come to Cape Town. I’m being slightly biased; it’s where I’m from
@Pertho, I’d like to read your views on post-Apartheid South Africa Btw, are you from the states or somewhere else? I’m asking because you mentioned the Stormers lol
That’s the drawback of sending missionaries. Sure, they’re gullible and they’ll do all the hard work for you because they honestly believe these people are descendants of Cain who need to be saved… but whoever thought that indigenous people wouldn’t be grateful to be treated as inherently sinful savages?
States. My Wife and I stumbled on Super Rugby last year and have been hooked ever since. I got Stormers in South Africa, Waratahs in Australia and Crusaders in New Zealand; she has Rebels in Australia and Chiefs in New Zealand. I’ve actually ran into a couple of Afrikaners over here and it seems that a lot of the race issue is extremely sensitive. Not only is it sensitive but that there’s still a group of black people more than happy to discriminate against white africans.
While I can’t say that the people going off into their own whites only village are entirely justified to do so. I can understand some of the sentiment that went into fucking off. If you take into consideration poor white africans in the mix, it is entirely possible that feelings of resentment could be stirred for such a thing to happen. I am not saying that South Africa is still fighting the same battles from Apartheid; but that some of the racism has moved on to different things. Comparatively things are better but still has its issues.
I am definitely lacking in reading material on South Africa. If you know any good books, feel free to post titles here.
I wasn’t aware that the people who invaded Africa were immortals who still survive to this day, must be a lost art from the 1800s.
Of course this is unless everyone is simply born responsible for something a bunch of long dead motherfuckers who happened to be the same colour as them have done in their country of birth in the past, although if this is the case I imagine most of the worlds population has some pretty hefty sins weighing them down.
I won’t argue about what circumstances fucked Africa, it’s no secret the Europeans and Americans back then did some pretty evil shit to say the least, but to give a blanket blame which includes people who hadn’t even been born when shit was getting fucked up sounds pretty fucking ignorant, do you by any chance consider growing a terrible mustache and invading poland to be a good next step?
Shit man, I should’ve known, everyone in Africa just stopped fucking back then too and everyone there is at least 30, actually let’s make that 44, because I am unsure of the amount of influence you can have over a country before you even hit 16.
Also I’m pretty sure the Europeans and Americans came in and started fucking shit up around the 1800s.
Anyway, I concede, yes the time people stopped giving Africa the dick might leave some middle aged to geriatric people left over who could be blamed, but still I am relatively sure that completely blameless (insomuch as a human can be) people are there too, and do not deserved to be blamed for shit that happened before they were born or when they were children and had no real influence over it just because they are apparently the wrong colour.
