So I'm assuming you would have been all for the black residents of South Africa being able to immigrate to this country during the Apartheid Era?
If they were being slaughtered like the white people are today and their land was being illegally seized by white people.
What about if their basic human rights were being taken away? Surely you would welcome them with open arms because there is no way you would tolerate that for yourself or your children.
We will never know but keep trying to make an issue out of something hypothetical.
Why shouldn't the Afrikaners go back to their original lands?
They're in their original lands. South Africa
I guess the black population is as well.
And we should have left their country alone in the 1990s to handle their internal politics as they saw fit and let the SAs handle their business. This goes for Rhodesia as well.
Nah, apartheid was a **** idea.
Not when the other 90% will literally destroy the country if allowed to vote. And 30 years later ... boom.
Sometime you have to realize that some people cannot be allowed to ever run things if you want to have something nice.
It is a bitter lesson to learn but part of growing up. The reality is that all men were not created equal. We never were. We spend so much effort trying to balance the destructiveness of that simple truth.
It applies here too. You cannot let the leeches vote. Universal suffrage is pure folly.
Yeah, I've come to realize the one-sided narrative of the Civil Rights movement we were taught in school.
Perhaps back in the 1960's, it was reasonable to assume that Black people could succeed if given the chance. I wasn't there, so I can't fairly judge how people thought then.
Well, we gave them what they wanted. Desegregation. Voting rights. Even preferential treatment in college admissions and job hiring. They got one of their own elected President in 2008. And what have they accomplished with it? They're still poor. They're still over-represented in crime rates, single motherhood, and the wrong side of damn near every social statistic.
So, maybe Jim Crow wasn't the problem after all.
Poverty rate among blacks was actualy on the decline until the War on Poverty. Also, they had two parent households until the War on Poverty.
They had a LOWER rate of single parents than even whites at one point.....
From 1865 until the 60's they had been on the upswing, but Democrats needed them back on the plantation.
You keep up bringing up facts. Your facts, although true, will be completely ignored by the leftist lunatics and their sympathizers.
Among the latter, under pretence of governing they have divided their nations into two classes, wolves and sheep.”
Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Edward Carrington, January 16, 1787
