South Africa... a weird situation

With the current state of 'xenophobic' attacks I find myself in an ironic situation. The current violence is directed towards Africans from other countries, and even people of Middle Eastern origin. Yet the white South Africans here are not being effected by this at all. Its almost as if we have being accepted as being fellow native South Africans :>

Its just weird not having all the hate directed at us anymore. I guess its now a little more accepted that we have a common heritage and history in this country.

*random thought*

That's cool, heartwarming even, I hope you do your part for "south africa" and attack other africans and middle easterners (at least while native south africans are watching), you kind of aren't living up to your side of the bargain if you don't.

I hope australia can one day become unified like this, with aborigines and white australians forgetting their differences and celebrating their similarities by attacking immigrants.
Managing to find common enemies is a great way to start mending race relations.

Autralia is the most xenophobia state in the world. When Australia was being created they made a "white only" official immigration policy. They should try and take from S. Africa. I'm not too happy about S. Africa's policy either, I mean they could use immigrants to further their economic cause and lower prices, however having said this, one of Nigeria's problems includes illegal immigrants and general disrespect for the border.

I have a good friend who is South African...East Indian. Things were not so great for his family after the end of Apartheid. A brother disappeared and never heard of again. The rest of the family gathered up all they had and left the country. We also have lots of white Rhodesians and Malawis in our city...they were the ones who saw the writing on the wall and left before the '...' hit the fan.

 

To be blunt on this it might be that south Africans can see that the only reason it is worth fighting over is that it is the only country in africa that has been governed by whites and due to this it is the only country in Africa worth moving too.

Africa is fucking disgrace. While the rest of the world especially other poor nations have moved on in so many ways. You have this huge continent that is nothing more than a pile of streaming shat.

If you look at all of mans great achievements, disease control, famine eradication, law and order, war resolution etc then you look at Africa, you think my god what is wrong with these people.

 

S.A is going down the pan and will soon be little better than the rest of Africa.

Destroyer, disagree with the way I have expressed my opinion but you cannot disagree with the content. The world has by and large moved on a great deal and Africa has not learned to govern herself. The facts speak for them self on this.

 

Destroyer I'm not looking to whole continent to resolve its issues but you would think just one of the many countries could have done it by now.

Maybe Nigeria with all of its Oil wealth could have done it but, no. The problem with Africa is that you cannot even foresee that it sort itself out.

 

Thinking about this, this post shows the reason that Africa will never resolve its issues. Because as soon as one country begins to move forward the rest of Africa will flood in and the progress will be destroyed.

Nigeria has a huge population so no matter how much wealth it gets from oil it won't be enough. Also, the crime and corruption within Africa will always hold it back. Nigeria is another good example of this, with all of the kidnappings related to the oil industry.

African's for whatever reason live their lives as a free for all and do not have regard for the better good.

 

Just read up on Botswana and its good to see that they are making good progress although 1 in 3 with AIDS is still a major problem.

 

And so the [-]racist[/-] xenophobic violence continues

Was messed about this. is we have millions of Zimbabweans in South Africa, and they are here to escape Mugabe`s evil. Now, because our president has his ass so far up Mugabe`s ass... refugees from Zimbabwe have never being given asylum because according to our ANC government.. "there is no problem in Zimbabwe".

If there is one thing I have learnt from living in Africa, its that black people hate black people more than they hate white people (Tribalism was something the Apartheid government used to great effect) TIA. This is Africa.

 

I think what is happening is sad but also totally predictable. Million more mouths to feed in an environment that is already subjected to extreme poverty leads to something that is really a fight for survival. Burning alive if fucking savage tho.

Also, by Africa's standards is their a problem in Zimbabwe? There is no war at the moment so they are doing better than some. But again this shows the problem with Africa not helping herself by helping others.

Also, Mugabe just does not care about his country. He had a chance to step down and let someone else mess up Zimbabwe but he didn't take it. How does a country end up with a leader like this?

 

The continent is mostly run by kleptomaniac rulers. The world lets them gets away with it.

 

She needs to show allegiance to south africa and light an arab on fire, in the office.

 

The violence is now spreading into our major cities... except now its definitly starting to look like tribalism (racisms dad).

Check this out:

And this bit explains how ever black people from different parts of South Africa are now being attacked:

The funny thing is... were hosting the 2010 soccer world cup... I wonder how foreigners are going to be treated then!

Seems like South Africa is making the BBC every day now: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7408367.stm (stories of victims)

 

FYI, this is hot on the heels of the ruling ANC disbanding our most effective high level crime fighters... the Scorpians:
http://www.news24.com/News24/South_Africa/News/0,,2-7-1442_2255831,00.html

Seems the reason is because most of the ANC MEC are criminals, and are being investigated for large amounts of fraud.

TIA.

 

Thats a simple one they will rob them.

 

There is some video on this bbc article:
