The Boston Globe’s “Big Picture” site has also published Reuters photographer Finbarr O’Reilly’s widely circulated series of a group of 450 poor whites shack dwellers living in a camp in Krugersdorp close to Johannesburg. As I suggested before I am not surprised at this. The number of poor whites are obviously quite small when compared to the number of black poor. The site quotes O’Reilly: “… Researchers now estimate some 450,000 whites, of a total white population of 4.5 million, live below the poverty line and 100,000 are struggling just to survive.” But once the racial safety net for whites, in the past provided by the Apartheid state, wears off, they will increasingly get to experience how the majority of black people live in South Africa. And that there’s no reverse apartheid going on.
Here‘s a link to the series.

I think and I hope more people will read this post especially South Africans. I’ve seen videos on youtube posted by white South Africans proclaiming the “reverse apartheid” going on in South Africa , and it really scares me and then the comments written not only by South Africans but by white and black people from elsewhere in the world are even more scarier
Interesting, now that we see “blond haired” poverty it suddenly becomes a non racial matter! The Boers implemented a system that have given the South African their present conditions and the monied Boer threw his weaker brethren under the bus. But not to worry, as one Boer pointed out, at least the poor whites have community organizations and the church to keep them connected whereas the blacks do no despite their running the country.
The Dutchman of South Africa can always point to Jacob Zuma or some other South African and say “At least I was a better savage”. That’s the only thing they can claim ,nothing else.
There is no such thing as reversed apartheid, it’s the same process but through a’darker lens” so to speak and they getting a taste of their system running against them. If the Boers want to start a war then by all means they can begin. This is not the age of gun against assegai, It’s gun against gun.
