On the Fact that Even Though the Dutch Had Made it to the Cape of Good Hope Nearly 200 Years Before the Zulu Did, it Is the Former Group that Is Tarred with the Label, Colonialists


Let's face it, folks. We currently live in a world in which only white people can be evil and the facts forever be damned..........................................................................................................P.S. And so how did the blacks become such a large majority in South Africa? A few reasons; a) mass migration the result of greater economic opportunity, b) the British genocide of the Boers at the tail-end of the second Anglo-Boer War (an act that nearly wiped out an entire generation), c) the improved medical care that blacks ultimately received (proximity to whites isn't always bad, folks), d) a second wave of mass immigration during WW2 (the fact that a lot of the white males went to fight for the Allies and blacks were needed for factory work, etc.), e) the slow-burn genocide of Afrikaners that has taken place since the end of Apartheid, and f) the fact that a lot of the whites with the wherewithal to leave, have (probably a smart move, wouldn't you say?).............For a more in-depth analysis of true South African history, I strongly recommend "Ama Bhulu" by Harry Booyens, "Into the Cannibal's Pot" by Ilana Mercer, "Bulala" by Cuan Elgin, "Frontiers" by Noel Mostert, "Annals of Natal, Volumes 1 and 2" by John Bird, and pretty much anything by George McCall Theal.
