It’s been more than 25 years since the ANC came to power in South
Africa. Even though this is a longer period than it took the Boers to establish
no less than three republics during the 1800s, it seems as if the new South
Africa is still mired in endless blaming of white people for various problems
the country faces.
It is almost comical to see, for example, serious allegations that white
people have somehow sabotaged ESKOM. As if there is a deliberate program or
desire on the part of white people to make black people look bad.
But it does not end there. White people are apparently also to blame for
the collapse in the educational system, the high crime rate, economic problems
facing black people, and in fact, almost everything else about which black
people complain.
The handful of black people who point out that whites are not to blame
for everything, are of course ignored or dismissed as Uncle Toms.
There is of course, no justification at all to blame white people for
everything that is going wrong in South Africa, a quarter of a century after
the ANC came to power. In fact, as the older and honest people of all races
know, apartheid itself died long before 1994. The so-called petty apartheid
systems had started to be dismantled in the 1980s: influx control was abandoned
in the mid-1980s, and the group areas and mixed marriages acts, for example,
were no longer enforced from the late 1980s onward.
In fact, the last all-white Parliament sat in 1982, even if the then
tricameral system was rejected by the ANC and other opponents. That rejection
does not nullify the fact that the tricameral system and its resultant social
implications was a major break with apartheid as it had been originally
designed.
This means that apartheid — as it is blamed for everything — actually
vanished more than 25 years ago. Yet still, white people are blamed for
everything.
Perhaps then, the time has come to punish white people properly for
apartheid.
Perhaps the time has come to give white people exactly what is claimed
they gave to black people: perhaps the time has come to give white people
apartheid!
If the government or the EFF, or anyone else, really wants to punish
white people then they should make them live under the sort of policies under
which they claim black people suffered so much.
And here we are not talking about just affirmative action, BEE, or job
reservation, removing white symbols, town names, statues, Afrikaans language
educational systems, or “land reform”—as they are already doing—but the
whole caboodle.
Why not go all the way, and teach these white people exactly how real
apartheid worked?
Why not force white people into their own schools?
Why not force white people into having their own residential areas?
Why not force white people to socially segregate?
Why not take away the vote from white people? (not like their votes make
any difference in the new South Africa anyway).
And finally, why not force white people into their own homeland in some
barren area?
Some place where they will only have the vote to form their own
government in that area, just like a bantustan? And no vote in the rest of South Africa!
Perhaps the northern Cape might be a suitable white bantustan?
After all, it is barren and relatively unpopulated.
They could even forcibly relocate white people to this white bantustan.
With trucks, perhaps. Dump them there and let them get on with it.
Think of all the possibilities this would open up.
The government takes revenge on the white people in the way that they
say white people exploited blacks.
They could also then demonstrate to the world just how evil apartheid
was, as this white bantustan collapses.
Let the white bantustan build its own schools! And let them
collapse!
Let the white bantustan build its own economy! And let it collapse!
Let the white bantustan start its own farms! And let them collapse!
That will teach them how evil apartheid was.
And yes, then black people could have the majority of the country, the
rich farm areas, the cities.....
Jam these white people into a bantustan, enforce apartheid
against them, and let them get on with it! That will show them!
Best of all, they could get rid of these pesky white people once and for
all.
Applying apartheid to white people would immediately stop their
interference in the country's economy, politics, and so on.
So let’s stop messing around.
Why doesn’t the government dish out to white people what they say white
people dished out to them.
It’s only fair, right, and long overdue. Make white people suffer under
apartheid!

Excellent and well pointed sarcasm..as obviously if whites had control over our own affairs there wouldn't be any collapse because we are nation builders unlike some others..
