I'm sure South Africa would do just fine without the white people.
I trust this is sarcasm. Because the UGLY TRUTH is that black people are extremely racist and hateful of white people.
And when I compared SA to Haiti, it is a very good view of what is to become of SA. An exact view. And no amount of investment into SA will save the day. To put it politely, the blacks will end up killing every last white person there. The time to get out is now. And if Trump were smart, he would begin a concentrated effort to help every white leave SA. Otherwise, they will end up dead. To believe otherwise is wishful thinking. It will be every bit as bad as the killing fields of Cambodia. This is what barbarians do. They murder with unchecked zeal.
I have been to Haiti. When I arrived at the airport, there were a handful of whites. Many of the native Haitians had a look like they wanted to put me in a pot and slow cook me for dinner. 80% of the island were unemployed. This was 2002. Things are even worse today. The hostility was oozing from their pores.
An elderly black man at the airport, who offered to take me via taxi told me not to go anywhere on my own while in country, for they would kill me. No joke. I was told that by 3-4 folks back in the states before I left. You don't actually believe those warnings until you are there.
A friend of my wife, an American she worked with at the federal government, who was from Haiti was going to be there, and planned to pick me up when I arrived. He never showed, never answered the phone. So, the older gentleman took me via taxi, with no AC to a hotel near the presidential palace. Hot doesn't quite characterize how hot it was in Haiti. Perhaps sizzling would be a more appropriate descriptor.
To put it politely, a white person today would have to have a death wish to go there. To say it is a sh*t hole is an understatement. It is not fit for human habitation IMHO. And if it isn't the people there looking at you like you are dinner, it is the mosquitoes that want part of you for dinner. And while I was there, there was a Yellow Fever, Dengue Fever and huge malaria outbreak on the island. In my hotel room, no netting over the bed, and I was slapping my hands together killing a mosquito about every 30 seconds while awake. I was there for three days and easily had 30-40 mosquito bites. Fortunately, I did not get sick. But there was a woman from Atlanta behind me at the airport, wanting to get the hell out of Dodge, like me, that was sick and wanting to go home to see her personal physician.
Only reason why the two of us got out of there ahead of our scheduled date of departure was because I told a gatekeeper I would start a riot and tear up the airport. When the plane left, there were 80 empty seats that could have readily been filled by people paying at that time $100 to change their flights, but the Haitian gatekeepers kept would be passengers from approaching the ticket counters.
I have never been to SA, but better to be flat broke with just the clothes on your back and elsewhere than laying in a field hacked to death by angry, insane black Africans that have a few hundred years of pent up hatred for the white man in SA.
And every person I know that is from SA, all white, have skills that would be valuable here in the USA. I say open the door to them before the blacks kill them in a matter of days, when they let loose.
W.E.B. Griffin, one of my favorite writers, has a series of books that have 1 or more books that cover such a murderous attack in Africa( series is called Brotherhood of War. Read every book he wrote, and like all the rest, I enjoyed this series). I think it is a good telling of what is to come in SA in the not too distant future. With whites running for safety to the USA and perhaps other countries, the blacks will want to get to the business of slaughtering the whites before they lose their chance. They will not want to miss out on the fun of killing as many whites as they can. It is what they do in Africa.
How Trump could sit there next to that lying pig of a president from SA is a mystery. It was only because he brought two champion golfers with him from SA that I believe he tolerated the jerk. SA is in real trouble, and no amount of money is going to prevent the slaughter. NONE!!!
