White Genocide in South Africa

[Dei]

Spread awareness.

Any link between this and Mugabe's land redistribution policies? I heard that Mugabe viewed white land-owners in Zimbabwe as a road block to Chinese investment. Since that time, Zimbabwe experienced hyperinflation but was bailedout by large dollar and gold reserves - partially on the objections of his Chinese investers. This creates a type of runaway effect where hyperinflation occurs through declining domestic food production.

...while I'd condemn the people doing these killings, especially if this was organized in some way, calling this a "white genocide" in South Africa, is akin to saying there is a "black genocide" in America or "gendercide" in the world based on much more elevated crime rates. The South African government seems to be failing these farmers, but that's nothing new for huge swaths of people in South Africa (most prominently, as of late, miners).

http://www.hrw.org/reports/2001/safr...arms1.htm#_1_1 The State Response to Violent Crime on South African Farms Human Rights Watch New York � Washington � London � Brussels This report seeks to examine the state's response to violence on farms in comparative perspective, looking both at the response to violent crime against farm owners and at the response to violent crime against farm workers and other residents committed by farm owners. Assaults on black farm residents by other farm residents are also commonly reported, and in many farming areas these are among the crimes most frequently handled by the police. However, Human Rights Watch focuses here on assaults by farm owners or managers against farm residents or workers both because of the particular significance attached to such assaults by farm residents themselves, and because the problems that farm residents have in accessing the criminal justice system are particularly acute in such cases. Although farm residents generally reported an inadequate response from the criminal justice system when they reported assaults, these problems were much worse when they attempted to report assaults carried out by (white) farm owners or managers. ..More at link..

As always, the problem and the solution are far more complex than a group of people of one race mindlessly attacking a group of people of another race. Perhaps there are better ways to handle this. But as Northside Storm said, it is not a matter of the authorities failing to protect this specific group. If we are talking about balanaced protection, the protection is at least balanced in accordance with the standards of protection from SA authorities.

I wouldn't call this genocide, genocide is the MASS killing of people in a systematic manner. It says 3000 deaths since 1991.

[LosPollosHermanos]

And that isn't to take anything away from the terrible situation, but you can't call this genocide.

Genocide is more like the holocaust, dharfur, bosnia, killing of khurds in Iraq, etc...

On the US-relevant side, these farm owners are asking that they be able to immigrate easily from SA to the US.

Yes, Mugabe's land redistribution is causing it but, while you could argue that Mugabe's stance on the redistribution is based on principle (with the belief that the land claimed by the white settlers is unjustified), the violent killings are much more racially motivated.

Let me beak this down for you bleeding heart lefties on this board: this is a pure racial hate crime against white people in South Africa.

The leftist media would not touch this with a ten foot pole.

After Terre'Blanche's death, some members of the local black community called Mahlangu a hero for his alleged role in the crime. Some Afrikaners claimed his murder highlighted the violence faced by white farmers in South Africa, with around 3,000 said to have been killed since 1994.

that's a ten foot pole right there

and you somehow find the way to turn this into a partisan discussion.

Jesus Christ you are a ****ing moron. Natural selection is taking a bit too long with you.
