The Genocide Against White Farmers in South Africa
19th February 2012
Read it. And watch the video.
Most American readers will remember a brutal incident in Texas back in 1998, when a man named James Byrd was chained to the back of a pickup truck and dragged to death.
Because the victim was black and his murderers were white, there was a national outcry about the crime that continued for years afterwards. During the 2000 election campaign the incident was even used for shamelessly partisan purposes — by the Democrats, needless to say.
When the races are reversed, however, silence reigns. When a white farmer was chained to the back of a pickup truck and dragged to death by murderous blacks, there was no great outcry. Outside of his immediate neighborhood in South Africa, hardly anyone was even aware of the crime.
He’s just another statistic. He’s one of thousands of white victims of ethnic cleansing in South Africa.
The process has become so blatant that the leader of the youth wing of the African National Congress implicitly acknowledged that the current regime exercises a measure of political control over it.
“All whites are criminals,” he said. “We will take the land back. Without compensation.”
But that’s not evidence of racism, since it was uttered by a black man. By definition, non-whites cannot possibly be racist.
My guess is that what he was saying can be excused as “redistributive justice against the historical oppressor”. Or some similar Marxist cant.
