There is no way that anyone can dispute the fact that the blacks want to kill the whites. They say openly that Africa is for the blacks! Why can Europeans then not say what blacks say without being called white supremacists?

Even many Jews, otherwise vulnerable to leftist philosophy, pause a little over the thought of having the Jews of Israel being ruled by Arabs. On the other hand, the South African utopia appears to be gaining acceptance in the American left (as in the Obama Administration and its supporters).

Derek,

Point taken, thank you for providing this perspective.

Barbara, I don’t think the Anglo-Saxon love of the ideal or the promotion of Western values leads to this indifference. In fact it is the opposite. It is the hatred of Western Civilization and the refusal to defend it that leads to this indifference. I imagine deep down many elite whites think what is happening to the SA farmers is some sort of justice.

Just to add to my comment above. The video is quite striking when you compare it against similar murders happening almost daily in South Africa now.

In 1986, the expectation was that criminals will be caught and punished. Police were more competent in 1986 than now, where affirmative action and other social engineering imperatives are now driving the hiring process in the police than competency and literacy. The video is quite harrowing to watch, but the bodies are apparently intact – no mutilation, and death was quick.

Compare that to accounts heard about cases in South Africa now, where humiliation, torture and rape are common, and bodies are violated, or body parts are removed.

Not to say that more hideous murders didn’t take place 20+ years ago (I don’t know), but this video is an interesting contrast to ponder what and how things have changed in South Africa. From a basically functional and relatively pleasant and peaceful place for all its inhabitants, to the nightmare it is now – and I dare to include *all* the inhabitants, black and white.

I’m glad we are not there anymore.

Ilana – thanks for the attention you continue to focus on the tragedy that is unfolding in South Africa.

[Invaluable insights vis-a-vis the thorough police work we hear over the visual. I did not think of it—why we were hearing good forensic work, given the state of the SAPC NOW. Please provide email; see posting policy. Mail remains anon.]

From the narration the video is from July 1986 (at the 2:26 mark this is said). The hatred for whites is not a recent development.

How far do they have to go in South Africa before the mainstream media can no longer ignore it? Last year Canada granted refugee status to a white South African man who claimed that he was targeted for violence because of his race. He was probably the only real refugee we have let in in years. The progressive bloggers and commentators immediately began whining and crying about what an insult to South Africa it was to suggest that there could still be racial violence there in the post-apartheid era. The facts were not just ignored they were actually denied by some of these commentators. Do we have to wait until the time when there is not an Afrikaner left in South Africa before they admit what is going on?

Correction to my last: substitute “among a non-western population” for “a non-western country.”

Not wishing to minimize the current crisis through over-intellectualizing, it nevertheless seems to me that matters lead back to many westerners’ (especially Anglo-Saxons’) love of the “ideal” (democracy, freedom, racial equality, multiculturalism, what-have-you) over the physical well-being of their kin. Although I would expect no response from the British government to the ongoing murder of Afrikaner farmers, the racial violence affects, or will affect, Anglo-South Africans as well and nary a murmur from Whitehall or Buckingham Palace. It almost seems as though there is an “acceptable level of blood sacrifice” deemed necessary in order to promote western values in a non-western country.

Many times on this blog I have commented on the terrible situation in SA. When I was a small boy I would stand by the railroad track and chunk pine cones at the passing freight trains. That’s what I feel like now. It’s bad enough that this situation in SA has evolved as it has but what’s really disheartening is it was so predictable. Africa is no mystery. Going back to the Mau Mau emergency in Kenya, the mass murders in the Congo and other “movements” on the dark continent. Nothing can be done in SA and all we can do is watch.
