American Ex-Liberal turned Racist writes to me…

[Note. I got this very interesting e-mail from an American, who no doubt had been reading some articles I wrote on EtherZone.com a long time ago. It shows how people change. And I must admit, I too was like him. First, read his letter. He is from Austin, Texas, and admits to once having been a Liberal. Afterwards, I have a lot of comments because I too once had highly liberal tendencies, but am now cured of them. Jan]

—– Original Message —– Subject: Love your site

Hi Jan,I’m an American white guy living in Austin, Texas who recently discoveredyour site. It saddens me, as a recovering liberal, that I am seeing thatmost of inner-city (black) America is becoming just as chaotic andnon-functioning as most of black ruled Africa. The degree of dishonestyhere in the press is mind-boggling. You are absolutely right thatAmericans see South Africa as racist whites persecuting noble blacks, andall Americans think when they hear South Africa is Aparthied. I amdisgusted by the virtual black out in the American press regarding thechaos of post colonial Africa. The white genocide and land grab going onin Zimbabwe is going absolutely unreported here, trust me. I saw in one ofyour articles that blacks will be “doing it soon to America too” but Ihate to tell you–it’s already happening. Ten years ago I believed blackssuffered because of whites but now I believe the exact opposite. Whitepeople in America actually buy records by black rappers who talk aboutkilling whites! It’s bizzare.

Anyway I found your description of Apartheid fascinating and believe methat’s not the version of the story we’ve gotten. Blacks gravitating towhites to get in on the cash flow? I thought it was the mean white peoplestealing from them! Ha. Same f*cking thing here, pal! They get what theyget from reaching that big black hand out, and yet they grow more hostileevery day. They bully white people because most white people think thatwhen blacks whine about persecution, they MUST have a noble reason fordoing so. In reality white people are getting strangled by own ownethics. It’s crazy.

[Note. I have to interject. I must confirm what the writer says. I did indeed say that as Africa was “liberated” and also within South Africa itself, blacks always gravitated (naturally) to where they were better off. This was one of the main reasons why Apartheid failed. Blacks could not survive in their homelands – those traditional lands they’re always whining about – and hence always gravitated to where the whites were. As you can see, whether it be blacks in their Homelands or blacks in Africa in general, they just cannot match the accomplishments of a white-run society. They know it, and they go after white people because white society is always more orderly, better functioning, etc. Blacks know this, though they will NEVER admit to this. They would rather blame a white person for their ills than admit that whites bring benefits to them. Why are blacks always fleeing from places they control? Because they stuff them up! But you never saw that before… when whites ran the same place… Jan]

Blacks are the only group in this nation who incessantly play the victim.It is astonishing how the media thinks there are only two groups inAmerica–racist whites and persecuted blacks. Asians and Hispanics feelthe same way about blacks, but nobody in the media even acknowledges them.I read only one study EVER media where some researchers actually polledblacks about Hispanics, their views about them, stereotypes, blah blahblah. The researchers (white liberal types) were “stunned” at the blatant,nasty racist diatribes the blacks spewed–and it just made me wonder whatworld the white liberal researchers lived in. They are so cluelessbecause they always talk and never listen. With all the hysteria overgroups like the Aryan Brotherhood in our prisons, nobody cares that theywere formed in those prisons because black gangs were routinely raping andextorting money out of outnumbered white inmates. The double standard isamazing.

[Note. I can believe this. I also believe the communists and liberals (virtually the same thing!) – actually want to exacerbate black/white race relations because it benefits their political aims. I have also read of Asian/black racial issues and yes, it is even worse than black/white racial issues but it doesn’t benefit the Politically Correct establishment so they never discuss it. Jan]

Well that’s it for now. I’m gonna go read more of your site.

[Note. About a year ago, an Afrikaner wrote to me, claiming, of all things, that he thought I was really an agent for the ANC [African National Congress], because he worked with someone who had worked with me more than 10 years ago. This person told him that I had had a very different view to blacks back then. And this is true. But I have changed – let me tell you why.

I really was a VERY GUILT-RIDDEN, tree-hugging, white person in my younger days. I cannot begin to describe to you, what a guilt-ridden white I was. I felt the blacks were untouchable. We were so evil and materialistic… blah… Truly, I believed this. When I was growing up in Rhodesia, I really wasn’t interested in war. When I moved to South Africa, I had no interest in Apartheid. Make no mistake, I have ALWAYS HATED Communism, but I did not dislike black people and I wanted to know their, and my place, in this world. At one time, I believed all whites should leave Africa and let the blacks learn by themselves (and of course suffer tremendously in the process). I always had my personal observations on blacks (because I’m surrounded by them), and I was actually quite amazingly “liberal” to a degree with blacks. I was very concerned over the moral issue of whether whites had done blacks wrong. I felt we would be punished for our materialism and our indifference to them.

I always felt, blacks in Africa were backward, and little could be done for them. That was an inescapable conclusion because I grew up on a farm, and saw them daily and dealt with them daily. They lived in huts, and I knew, intimately, how they lived their lives. I was not living in a city, far removed from black people. Quite the opposite. I was in “rural Africa” and saw them and knew them for what they were in their “natural state” – as they are all across Africa.

I should point out, that Liberalism, only ever enjoys support in Africa, mostly, in places where whites are removed from rural blacks. It is whites in cities, especially rich whites, who are more liberal than others. Liberalism is something that can only live in places where people don’t have the practical experience and contact to see that it doesn’t really work.

When I was younger, I was extremely concerned over the spiritual issues. Should black people be allowed to rule themselves? And to me, the answer was obviously: Yes! But then in my mind, there was always this dilema: What if white people can rule black people BETTER than blacks rule themselves? What then? And how would this be in the eyes of God?

My viewpoint was always driven by the concept of SUFFERING. I figured, that regardless of who rules who and how… all suffering for all people is surely the same? By that I mean, if a black person hurts a black person, then that is just as evil as when a white person hurts a black person. So I felt that if black people truly cared for other black people, then they would opt for the choice which results in less suffering for their own kith and kin. I felt therefore, and still do, that if white people can be a positive force in a society, and can help black people, then they should, and God would want it that way.

A few weeks back, I saw a quote on a website, which apparently comes from Ghandi, where he said something like: “It is better if India is ruled like hell by Indians than if it is ruled like heaven by the British”. Now to me, this flies in the face of caring. In fact, I’d never seen this quote before, and the minute I saw it, I immediately thought that Ghandi, regardless of his reputation, must surely be an idiot. If Ghandi cares for his own people, then why would he not be man enough to admit that the British did good? Why would he willingly and deliberately bring suffering to those he pretends to love?

The same question can be asked of blacks in Africa. Mugabe brings suffering on his people knowingly. Is this right? Surely, from a spiritual point of view, this is completely evil?

The question I ask myself is this: Is it not perhaps a fault in THEM, that they cannot find it in their own souls to ADMIT that white people can do GOOD? What is wrong with THEM, that they cannot simply acknowledge this? What’s the crime? Why is it such a hideous thing, that they cannot come out and say: You whites, for all your faults, are still making a better job of it than we are??

And I wonder to myself, if God looks inside their hearts, what resentments and paranoia he must see there, in order for them not to be able to admit the truth, but rather to lay only blame at the door of white people, even when white people don’t deserve it. Surely, that itself is a very evil thing to do?

What amazes me, to this day, is how black leaders can bring infinite suffering upon black people, in the name of caring for them, yet, if all lives are equal, in the eyes of God, then you will not find such suffering ever having been brought upon these black people by white people.

For all Apartheid’s supposed crimes – show me a list of the casualties for example. I once heard them speak of 20,000 “victims” (dead? – I doubt it) in 48 years or something… and I think to myself: But there are many times when blacks kill 10 times that number of other blacks in a very short space of time, yet that is all forgotten. Rwanda’s 1 million dead are forgotten. Mugabe, killed 20,000 Matabele in 1985… Why is Apartheid’s 20,000 “victims” (which I am sure is an exaggerated figure anyway) any worse than what Mugabe did in 1985 alone? None of this makes moral and spiritual sense to me.

So eventually, I found myself in a horrible, moral dilema. Clearly, on the one hand, black people must be given a chance to progress – even if it means more suffering due to their own incompetance – but, I also ask myself if there isn’t a moral price they must pay because of their own heartlessness to their own kind?

And this builds into a resentment, when I see white people getting the blame for EVERYTHING – in a twisted way – even when they did good. I am the first to admit, whites are not angels, and whites are driven by material goods. But also, I must admit, that whites tend to be a force for progress, and for building things – rather than just for destroying. And in that, they are surely doing good. And the things they have built, are there for all to see – or the ruins of what they once built are there to be seen as proof that they did indeed do something positive.

Eventually, after all these years, I’ve reached the point where I believe that for white people in Africa, our long term goal should be to part company with the blacks, because the blacks here are insane (thanks to the liberals and communists). Actually, the blacks here are extremely arrogant, and they think they are more superior and equal than they really are. If we had to stop doing out work, and leave them alone, you’d see where they’d end up. The events with the 4,500 commercial farmers in Zimbabwe show you as clearly as possible what happens when you take away the skills of a few. And in South Africa, which is an even more technologically advanced country – the effects of removing whites will be even GREATER than you have seen in Zimbabwe and elsewhere. South Africa is a very advanced country compared to all others in Africa. This country has industry and technology the likes of which has never graced any other part of this continent.

I have reached the point in my life, where I think blacks must be allowed to go ahead, and try out their silly schemes – and let them suffer as a result of their own decisions – though I don’t want to be a part of their experiment! What irks me, is how the liberals keep bailing them out, thereby preventing them from learning their lessons, and thereby keeping them as arrogant as before. Everything liberals do irritate me, because liberals prevent blacks from learning lessons in such a way that they will remember them, and consequently, more racial harmony, on a realistic basis can come about through each understanding their abilities better.

I can remember, in my youth, that there were black people in Rhodesia, especially older folks, who believed it was better to live with white people running the country than to have their own kind running the country. Obviously, with time, that viewpoint became a minority viewpoint – but it did once exist. There used to be a feeling among some blacks in Africa that black rule would lead to suffering and that white rule, for all its negatives, was still a better thing. One won’t find that among blacks today. Today there is an extreme arrogance and a firm determination to NEVER admit that white people can do good. There is a mean-spiritedness, and a small-mindedness that stuns me.

My days of being a guilt-ridden white, went away… By the end of the 1980’s I evolved, and have continued to evolve, into a more and more “right wing” type of person. Given that in life, one often has to make difficult choices, I find myself having made a difficult choice based on my life’s experiences. I know whites are far from perfect, but on the balance, I feel they unquestionably have brought more good than bad, and hence that is where I have gone to. I also feel, whites brought more progress and peace than Africa has ever known.

The American refers to the “noble” blacks. This is something I have noticed more and more… obviously its been around for a long time, but I’ve only recently realised that this is how white Americans and others see blacks… Blacks are supposedly more “spiritual” than whites. Well… a lot of communism, to quote John Loeffler, is sold on the basis of “evil riding in on a white horse”. Many high-minded, and highly-moral concepts are used to sell something that is unworkable and evil. But it is packaged so beautifully and people are sold on this.

You’d find it a hard sell among those of us who live in Africa, to convince us that blacks are “noble”. In fact, a common observation among us whites is: (a) Look at how they behave towards each other (b) Look at how they treat animals. Our viewpoint is that blacks are actually quite cruel here in Africa. Whites here tend to be very “conservation conscious” and it irritates us EXTREMELY when we see cruelty to animals.

I do believe, that there are also differences between blacks in North America and blacks in Africa and that really makes it much more difficult to compare them exactly. But even so, even in North America, you do get some of the tendencies of blacks in Africa. However, if there’s one thing that SCARES a lot of us in Africa, it is this: We know that when blacks do things their way… there is no end to how LOW things can go… We know a country can go into free-fall and just keep on falling far beyond that which would be tolerated in any European, Asian or American country. We are very skeptical about blacks. They have a way of bringing suffering upon themselves – which we just are not prepared to accept for ourselves!!

Blacks in Africa – the Marxist ones who took over – represent the lowest forms of life ever produced by the black race. If you watch black African leaders closely, you will also see that they are liars, second to none. Leaders in the West, may lie, but watch the extent of the lies that come out of our leaders’ mouths. If you were to go back over the years, and compare what they said and promised versus what actually happened, you’d see you’re dealing with liars unlike anything you’ve seen before. You would be hard-pressed to find times when they told the truth!! For example, you’d find that virtually everything that comes out of President Mbeki’s mouth is a lie. It is extremely rare for me to listen to him saying something and for me to agree: Now he’s telling the truth. No, 99% of the time, these guys are lying through their teeth – be it about the state of the nation, or foreign relations, etc.

Like the American who wrote the above letter, I never once imagined that I could be racist like my parents, but I am finding, with age, I’m becoming as bad, if not worse. Yet, it never was my intention to be that way. I intended to live my life and have high moral values.

My conclusion is this: I’ve become the way I am because, like my forefathers, I have seen how blacks can dissappoint you. You think you can work with them, and help them, and be partners with them, but then you see how often they fail you. And a thing which tires a lot of us is their excuses. You get tired of hearing the excuses and the reasons they give why they failed. Anyone who believes whites in Africa did not try, on an individual basis, to help blacks, is wrong. I’ve seen many examples where people tried – but MOSTLY – they failed. If blacks in Africa did have talent, it would have showed by now. But one can’t keep making excuses for these people. Look at Zimbabwe – just a few years before, farms were prospering. Take 4,500 whites away and what have you got? Nothing. Most cannot even feed themselves. How difficult can that be? Is that asking a lot? People have been feeding themselves since the stone age – but here in modern Africa, blacks can’t even farm… and let me assure you, the farming here is much better than anything you’d find in North America or Australia or Europe. How do the Canadians feed themselves in such a short growing season and with such bitter cold? Africa is like a Garden of Eden by comparison. A lot of African countries to the north have sunshine and rain most of the year around. If you can’t farm in Africa… you can’t farm anywhere on this PLANET!!

But we whites, the ones who know how these countries are really run, we knew they couldn’t handle it. And our skepticism is justified.

I was watching a most fascinating thread on a forum the other day which ran into 14 pages where some whites and blacks (from the USA) were going at it furiously. I noticed the whites saying many of the things I’ve said above. But the black guys kept saying: “the racists [in Africa] are lying”. No, here is the real lesson: The Racists are NOT LYING! The Racists are telling the truth, and the Racists are not just racist for no reason. The Racists are actually deeper and more intelligent people than they’ve ever been given credit for. Finally, if you had to draw up a scorecard of the pronouncements and predictions of the non-racists versus the racists you’d see the racists have been telling the TRUTH to a greater degree than anyone could imagine!! The racists are probably right 80-90% of the time – at least! And that is the terrible lesson which nobody wants to accept – that the racists really are closer to the truth than anyone else.

Anyway… I wonder who really is more racist? I think the racists are less racist than the “non-racists”, because the “non-racists” will never admit that blacks make a fault, and they will never admit that whites do any good – even when presented with a mountain of undeniable evidence.

I have concluded, that black people know deep down (but will rarely if ever actually admit this), that the best way forward for them is via a multi-racial society. Blacks know that it is best to team up with whites BECAUSE OF THE BENEFITS IT BRINGS THEM!! But, they will NEVER actually admit that to any white person. Instead, they would rather prefer to call you a racist if you said to them: “Whites don’t need you, but you need whites”. Though, every word of that would be the absolute truth.
