Pleading your case before the sentence. It seems like its time to get the 'facts' straight before you consider the verdict.

'Blacks better off because of whites'

Tue, 27 Sep 2005

Black South Africans were better off for the arrival of whites in the country, white farmers' union TAU SA said on Tuesday.

"South Africa's blacks were advantaged because of the presence of whites, not disadvantaged," it said in a statement lamenting the impact of transformation on the commercial farming sector.

"They (blacks) can live decent lives thanks to the people whom their government wishes to destroy through affirmative action, farm harassment and heavy taxation."

Reiterating calls for "immediate interaction" with the government, the group cited numerous examples of African failures under black rule.

Cities built by colonialists

The imposition of Western "civilisation" on the continent allowed it to flourish, with cities built mostly by Western colonialists, it claimed.

"After the wave of ''independence'' which swept through the continent in the sixties, seventies and even the eighties, black Africa declined, spectacularly so. In many areas it has regressed to what it was before whites came."

The union claims a country-wide membership of 6000 white commercial farmers.

South Africa, it claimed, was the only country in sub-Saharan Africa to flourish. "And everybody knows this is because of the presence of four-million-odd whites. This is a fact."

According to the statement, farmers were at the end of their tether. It cited a memorandum presented at a recent Pretoria conference of the TAU by a group of farmers — mooting a struggle similar to that waged by the African National Congress if their fears were not addressed.

"This thinly-veiled reference to the tactics employed by the ANC to gain power in South Africa gives some insight into the level of frustration and anger building up within the white farming community," the statement said.

It's looking at things backwards.

I would say it suffered less from the cold war and falsely imposed wars, arms sales and destabilising tactics BECAUSE of its large white presence. Nobody assasinated their leaders, established and set up coups, funded rebel armies to destabilise them, tied them down with AID and... you know what? I can't even be bothered. It's so dumb!

What Africa was like before they came with all the functioning nations and civillisations, and what it is like now is ridicolous. Sure they built new buildings, on the sites where the tore the old and ancient ones down. Sure they built new buildings, in a situation were blacks were actively restricted from doing so and sure they flourish, in a legal situation which forbade blacks from being anywhere near competiting on any level. How dumb this article is, is beyond belief...

There were similiar claims made a few years ao in this country.



that black americans were "fortunate" to have been enslaved and brought to the new world because of the wealth of the united states.

When people aren't aware of history..they can be bamboozled and led to beleive all types of things... the ignorant are easily manipulated.

Im Hotep Beautiful Sun-Kissed BlackPeople,

The myth that whites somehow "civilized" Afrikans is nothing new. This false, political, and Eurocentric rubbish is a pitiful attempt to draw attention away from the facts. The truth is that EUROPE is better off since they invaded countries of people of color. In EUROPE, from the beginning of the trans-Atlantic slave trade until LONG AFTER it ended, people lived in pigpstys and squalor. The streets of England were strewn with animal corspes, garbage, and human waste. The people of England were so damned filthy that one whiff of the air they breathed wiped out entire tribes of Native Americans. In 1880, Queen Victoria of England was described as the 'cleanest person in the country' because she bathed twice a year. European women, whether from England, Germany, or France, were non-bathers, non-asswashersand non-users of soap and other hygenic aids. They must have been STRAIGHT FESTERING when during their monthly visitation.

The bathhouses of Southern (Zimbabwe), Eastern (Tanzania), and West Afrika (Mali, Ghana, Senegal) and the easy access to clear, clean water were well documented, both by Afrikans themselves and visiting scholars (University of Timbuktu, Mali). We had access to healthy food, fresh air, and medicine.

That these lice-headed, dogspit covered (letting dogs lick them all in their mouths- UUUUUUUUUGH), inbred, genocidal knuckle-draggers could dare to claim that they have in some way helped Afrika is beyond the pale.

Anbuhotep

Also if whites were so civilized then they need to stop screwing animals because that's nasty. Am I the only one that notices that you would hear new cases of Europeans making love to an animal?

Sorry, just pointing some sick stuff about "civilized whites."
