“Because they saw the handwriting on the wall.”

This from a young, white Rhodesian girl I met when I was a student at university. Her family was originally from Rhodesia. Then they moved to South Africa. Then to the States over 30 years ago.

Ditto for my nephew’s wife. Her family moved to the States about 30 years ago.

What about religious refugee status?

I live in Dallas. I met a Copt a few years ago here in the suburbs. She and her husband owned a liquor store! I knew she was a Copt when I saw the cross around her neck. I’m sure she arrived here as a religious refugee fleeing persecution.

Dallas is full of South Africans. Many of them are Jewish. Surely someone here can help those left behind?

[Our government has the habit of sending them back when they do seek refugee status. More in my upcoming book.]

in fact, here’s the link: http://www.google.co.za/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=M7j&q=Mandela+United+Football+Club&btnG=Search&meta=

I’m glad you brought this subject up because I’ve been meaning to ask you the following: How do you reconcile your father’s anti-Apartheid activism with the current state of South Africa? It seems to me that Apartheid was the only thing preserving SA’s First World status.

I agree with Joe that all the Boers should be brought to the United States. Barring this, each man should be given a Kalashnikov and told that his choices are secession or extermination. Whites in SA are living on borrowed time.

You are correct, the “election” is nothing but a racial census. I have refused to take part in this sham for years, and refuse to do so now.
You are also correct in saying that Dan Roodt is brilliant, so are you.

I met some Afrikaners this summer. They are about to take the leap as soon as possible. Their stories about the crime in SA and open and callous hatred of whites would shock most Americans. It’s sad to think that so many believe that country is all daisies and rainbows after Mandela’s release. I guess the propaganda lives on well after the rock-star charity concerts have ended.

Judging by their stories, I don’t give SA another 10 years before the reversion to third-world status is complete. I do have an idea though: Perhaps we can send U2’s Bono to live out his days there in the peace and prosperity he’s brought to the region.

This is tragic because as a young teen I witnessed the release of Nelson Mandela. I had hoped things would improve for this nation. From what I’ve seen and read, it’s a beautiful country. But instead it’s crime ridden and dysfunctional. How can this change when every tribe wants a piece of the pie? There are now mini Mugabe’s running the country!

At least in the United States there was a standard, a respect for individual rights, which in the south, up to the mid-1960 wasn’t respected. Eventually it had to change. That unfortunately cannot be said for South Africa.
