Genocide: Mandela's Legacy in South Africa

We are witness to the spectacle of the canonization of Nelson Mandela.  The largest state funeral since that of Winston Churchill is going to be held in South Africa next week.  Flags in America are being flown at half-staff by presidential order, even though Mandela was not an American citizen. 

Bono laments Mandela's death.  Obama insinuates himself into Mandela's life via a photo of himself taken in a prison cell that once held Mandela.  Mandela, we are told by media talking heads, is the South African Martin Luther King, Jr.  Mandela ended apartheid in his country.  Mandela brought the races together.  Mandela ended the horrors of colonial rule in South Africa.  Mandela brought South Africa's race relations into modernity.

What you wont' be told is this truth:  Mandela led a communist movement that is to this day causing genocide in South Africa.  Genocide Watch has been documenting the genocide against whites in South Africa.  White farmers, mostly, and their wives and children are being killed.  Farmers whose families have been in South Africa since the 1600s.  Farmers who are South African by birth and culture.

World Net Daily:
The eyes of the world were on South Africa two decades ago as the apartheid era came to an end and Western governments helped bring the communist-backed African National Congress to power.
Last month, however, when Genocide Watch chief Gregory Stanton declared that white South African farmers were facing a genocidal onslaught and that communist forces were taking over the nation, virtually nobody noticed.

Surely the United States, long a proponent of the end of South African apartheid worked to end this slaughter.
The silence is so deafening that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton didn’t even publicly mention the problems when she was there last week. Instead, she was busy dancing, pledging billions of dollars and praising the ruling government

The silence is so deafening that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton didn't even publicly mention the problems when she was  there last week.  Instead, she was busy dancing, pledging billions of dollars and praising the ruling government.
Farmers and their families are being killed by the most horrific means.  Torture, rape, necklacing, being dragged to death, being forced into boiling water, being disemboweled, hacked apart with machetes.
Last year, South Africa had an astoundingly high murder rate of 31.9 per 100,000 people, according to police statistics. That is almost 20 times the murder rate of Canada, 27 times the rate in the United Kingdom, and more than 30 times the rate in Australia or New Zealand. South Africa’s murder rate is almost twice as high as Rwanda, Chad, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe.  But for white farmers in South Africa, the murder rate is 99 per 100,000!  That makes farming in South Africa the most dangerous profession in the world—if you are white!
White Afrikaner farmers face unprovoked brutality and disproportionately high numbers of victims who are tortured and mutilated—burned with hot pokers, scalded with boiling water poured down their throats, hacked apart. Yet prominent anc politicians, including President Zuma, sing hate songs in public that have lyrics glorifying the killing of white farmers.
"The other day, when we were having lunch—I couldn’t tell you how bad it is, it would have made you sick," said my South African acquaintance. "About 10 klicks just down the road where I used to live, three blacks broke into a house, tied up the husband, gang-raped and killed the wife, before stabbing him like 14 times and chopping him with a panga [machete] and spreading the parts all over the house. Then they took their young son and drowned him in boiling water."
When you watch Nelson Mandela's funeral, if you watch it, and when you hear American politicians and news reporters glorifying  Nelson Mandela, remember this article from Genocide Watch. 

Nelson Mandela may have once been a hero.  But what Nelson Mandela wrought on the people of South Africa is violent communist genocide.  He is no better than the Robert Mugabes and Idi Amins of nearby African nations.

I think Conservatives need to praise Mandela to the skies just like they do MLK, that way they'll get their official "You're Not Racists" certificates from the MSM and the Democrat party.

I know it hasn't worked in 40 years, but y'know... and hey lets pass Amnesty and the Hispanics will love the Republicans - just like in 1986.

@ Deborah - lol

rcocean said...

Here's the scoop on Mandela, other than the liberals and a handful of "reasonable" Conservatives/Libertarians, no one gives a shit.

This isn't South Africa. That's why the reality of Mandela is ignored and Americans pretend he's a S/A MLK.

rcocean said...

It reminds of the riots in England when a USA anchorman referred to the Black rioters as "African-Americans".

virgil xenophon said...

Following on reocean's comments, it isn't so much that Mandela was a Saint, but that he was smart. The whites had all the guns and were the repository of knowledge--financial, technological, economic--about how to keep the economy humming. So it was in the self-interests--economic well-being--of blacks not to run all the whites off. Mandela was at least smart enough to realize this and cloaked his message in "forgiveness." Smart guy, but what he argued for is no different from what the Chicom party leadership is doing: using capitalism to rescue Communism from itself in the interests of the Party leadership. Alas, Mandela's successors aren't Chinese IQ-wise..

The problem with Mandela is he was just a man, a single man riding a powerful wave. He caught it and did his best with it, but in the end the wave was a hatred built up over a long history and it had to hit sometime.

As a man he had some mistaken ideas common to men from his background, but that was just his dialect, adopted from exposure. It's to be expected from a man seeing evil from the point of view he had.

Mandela's challenge was beyond the abilities of any man past or present to steer successfully. That he kept it off the rocks while he could was heroic, and it's unfortunate that so many South Africans didn't rise to his example. There has been and is great evil going on there, but it's despite him, not because of him. It always takes more than one good or even great man to do great things. He could have used some help.

The facts are facts, and they aren't pretty. His greatest accomplishment was that he didn't do what so many have in his place. He was more George Washington than Mugabe, as a man, but the luck of circumstances and the level of hate and racism left the end result just the opposite. If he was a great man, which is quite possible, it just wasn't enough in his time and place.

"Things tend to go in cycles. Repetition is all.

Posts bashing men. Furious pushback. Deletions and closing of the comment section.

It is all so July of 2013.

I thought we had finally got past that?"

Speaking of all so July 2013, I can't begin to convey to you what a relief it is to no longer have you spewing your cutesy racism, sexism, and gay hate over at THe Other Place. I am eternally grateful to Lem for offering you this comment home shelter to express yourself freely.

Nicely said, bago.

The wine kick in big guy.

TTBurnett said...

I see the same beef is going on over at Buzzfeed.

As far as wine goes, I've tried a little 2011 Beaujolais-Villages with Buzzfeed, but it's terrible. A glass of a good, well-chilled New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc makes the experience much more palatable. There really are some very good, inexpensive South African Chardonnays if you like reasonably-priced, better-than-average whites.

The foregoing remark is not meant to be racist in any way.

chickelit said...

We should reconnect by phone IRL, Tim. I recently started a part-time job at an adult beverage store and could use your knowledge of things oenophillic as opposed to onanaphillic.

Only in America can a man like Eamonn DeValera, born in Brooklyn, outside the sheets, to a Cuban father and an Irish mother rise to become a leader of the Irish nationalist movement. He was the dominant leader of Ireland for two generations and during WWII. Given Ireland's history I don't blame him for being distrustful of a stone imperialist like Churchill and maybe he was even right to keep Ireland neutral during the war. But there was no reason for him to be friendlier with the German ambassador than with the American one, and the day he signed the condolence book in the German Embassy to express his regret at the passing of Hitler is not a proud one in Irish history......So there it is. Washington owned slaves. DeValera mourned the death of Hitler. The moral is: give Mandela a Lille slack.

William said...

Should read little slack. We all need a little slack.

El Pollo: A fine idea, although my wine knowledge is as threadbare and out-of-date as the rest of me. I have been too poor too long to have developed my connoisseurship much beyond "what won't poison me under $10?" I did have a fabulous past, where I worked in a then-trendy restaurant as both flute player and wine steward. The management splurged, educating our young palates and noses so we could make passable small talk about the wine list. It didn't hurt that Hollywoody and rock stah types, such as Jimmy Messina, were regulars. These people would often not be able to finish an expensive bottle (being used to Cherry Coke as a usual beverage) so it would be donated to education. I was an eager student. Said rock stah was on a German white wine kick when I was there, so I got the remains of many a bottle of $100 Bernkästler Doktor Spätlese to wash down the midnight staff dinner. Warren Beatty once left a third of a bottle of '59 Lafite Rothchild. No shit. Guess who would up with about half of it? The '61 Pétrus Paul Newman left behind wasn't bad, either.

Since those palmy days, I've been reduced to Sutter Home and Mondavi for vin ordinaire, and have discovered the joys of really cheap Aussie Chardonnay and Syrah. So, if you're looking for someone to share his intimate knowledge of this really interesting little maker who has a small planting of Cabernet Franc on the northeast side of Paso Robles, well, I'm the wrong guy.

But I would love to chew the fat sometime otherwise. I'm in California over Christmas, but only up in the Bay Area. I'd really like to come down to San Diego for some facetime, but God knows when that would happen. Let's try to stay in touch and see what we can do.

I am with Bago on this one.

AJ: I am, too.

Mandela died Thursday. He should be resurrected any minute now.

More on the passing of Nelson Mandela...

I have to respectfully disagree with Michael Haz on this. But I will say this much, victimhood will never improve your position.

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

Meade is upset because he realizes the FBI has been monitoring through that camera thingy the things he does on Ann's computer when she is out of the house. If she ever finds out he is in big trouble.

Aridog said...

Gotta repeat my comment from EBL's site, because it fits here too....

I admit I am confounded by all the hoopla, discussion, debate, et al about Nelson Mandela. He died. I'm sorry anyone dies. He was from South Africa. I am not. What did the man do on a world stage that improved the lives of anyone outside his home country? Enlighten me. I might even listen.

Dust Bunny Queen said...

There are a range of tests the 'Race IAT' is the one relevant to this discussion.

Well, I took the tests and came out as neutral on almost all of them or inconclusive because there was not a preference.

Probably because I dislike everyone equally

:-)

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

Now the latest meme is Obama has is harder than Mandela did and saying the word "Obamacare" is actually racist.

Aridog said...

BDQ ... I queried up the race IAT test ...and decided it was bullshit at the stage (3rd?) where it forced me to define bad with black person and good with white person. It is a nonsense test to provide a conclusion the (Harvard schmuck) designers have already arrived at in fact.

I do not fit the mold the assholes who designed the test think should. Sorry.
