I refer to statements like “The de Beers you describe would be first choice for millions of unskilled Blacks, if they were lucky enough to be considered (and I am talking about the rest of long “liberated” Africa) for employment by that illustrious firm.”

You have chosen to be as ignorant as all white people that pretend not to see the effect that the advent of colonialism and imperialism has caused in Africa and the rest of the world. You have been brought up in a bubble that dictates and nurtures your shallow brain that the white race is superior to every other race as indicated in your writing. The reason that the rest of “Liberated Africa” has not been able to produce the so called skilled workers that will kick all whites out of Africa and instill a political system that is suitable for Africa as opposed to that fashioned by your ancestors is due to “Neo-Colonialism” (This means that Colonialism still exists today, but it is performed remotely, by the Multi-National Companies, and covertly by governments of the developed societies, who are promoting the dependency system of government.

If the West fully liberate Africa then they will not have any more resources to exploit, so it is in their best interest that they have to keep Africa impoverished and if possible inflict the people with introduced viruses, to ensure they do not prosper. Please leave the farm and go to the library to research Geo-politics and Global-Economics and you need some history lessons as well. Slavery and Apartheid is the greatest inhumanity to man, but of course your shallow brain will not be able to comprehend this fact.

We need people like Mugabe and his Ideology to rule Africa, thats the only way Africa will regain their lost glory. And we need white South African parasites to leave the continent if they do not see the destruction their ancestral superimposition has caused the continent.

You should be happy that you are still allowed to stay there and that Mandela heart is not wicked like that of your ancestors.

As far as standpoint goes, by your own admission you are exactly the wrong person to comment on this issue. Yes, you do have the right to speak your mind, and we have the right to take you to task. So I shall.

How dare you dismiss the brutal oppression that the people of Southern Africa endured under white supremacy-imperialism. Witness this glib comment: “Equated to Hitler’s bunch…why it was a picnic, complete with cucumber sandwiches!” How astute of you to presume what is reality for every person in South Africa. I’m sure that Brother Stephen Biko would wholeheartedly agree.

Now I won’t presume to speak for Mr. Davey D, but I don’t think his position is “poorly disguised” at all. Seems to me his hatred of oppression and genocide is right out there in the open (and yes, Europe’s domination of Africa over four centuries qualifies as genocide, under the United Nations definition of the term).

And this:

Since I was born here and love this country (South Africa), I consider myself to be at home – it is the only one I know and it is such a wonderful country to boot. Tell me Davey D, do you consider whites in Africa, like me, to be citizens of the country of their birth, or would you prefer us to be driven accross the sea?

This echoes the sentimental mythology of white people here in the United States, whose progenitors raped and killed Native Americans in war after genocidal war and kidnapped my ancestors from West Africa to work in this “wonderful country” as enslaved labor. Why, this land is beautiful and wonderful! Who cares if people had to die to build “my country!”

Now nobody wants white people to be driven from anywhere, especially the “land of their birth.” But in the very least, white folks should own up to the harm that white supremacy/imperialism has wrought around the world. How hard is it to admit that people were raped and murdered, if you know damn well you did the raping and the murdering? (By the way, please don’t tell me that you’ve “never” raped or murdered anyone. As a white man in South Africa, you directly benefit from these systems of harm.) Just tell the truth, okay? It ain’t that hard.

And yes, every diamond is a blood diamond.

Great stuff, Davey D!

The de Beers you describe would be first choice for millions of unskilled Blacks, if they were lucky enough to be considered (and I am talking about the rest of long “liberated” Africa) for employment by that illustrious firm. Would you prefer they mechanise on large scale? At least they would not catch flack from you or others of your persuasion.

Since I was born here and love this country (South Africa), I consider myself to be at home – it is the only one I know and it is such a wonderful country to boot.

To equate apartheid with Nazism, is to betray your lack of knowledge, or plain bias on the subject – it is totally inapropriate. Of course it was dreadful, but equated to Hitler’s bunch…why, it was a picnic, complete with cucumber sandwiches!

I have no quarrel with your condemnation of “blood diamonds”, but I do detect poorly disguised hate for anything that is not indigenous to Africa (ie Whites) – we are, after all, the spawn of Africa’s Colonial Masters, whether we like it or not.
