It is indeed &#8220;beyond logic and rationality&#8221; why so many blacks are killed in America &#8211; the supposed multi-culti paradise on planet Earth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The only problem is that it is\u00a0<i>blacks killing blacks<\/i>\u2026 not whites killing blacks!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Of the 7000 black Americans who died violently in 2012, 92% died at the hands of\u00a0<i>fellow<\/i>\u00a0blacks.\u00a0This is just a\u00a0<i>fact<\/i>. This is not a &#8220;racist&#8221; fact.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As is the fact that black Americans kill other Americans at a rate 10 times higher than that of white and Hispanic Americans combined. As is the fact that black Americans commit 50% of all the murders in America, although they only comprise 12% of the total population of America.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These are just\u00a0<i>facts.<\/i>\u00a0They are\u00a0<i>not &#8220;<\/i>racist&#8221; facts!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What is indeed &#8220;racist&#8221; about these facts, is the fact that white Americans don&#8217;t kill white Americans at the same rate as black Americans kill black Americans \u2013 or Hispanic Americans kill Hispanic Americans, for that matter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And the\u00a0<i>exact<\/i>\u00a0same applies to South Africa. It is black South Africans killing black South Africans at a world-record rate\u2026 and black South Africans killing white South Africans at the exact same world-record rate \u2013 and even at a higher rate when it comes to white farmers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meaning that there is one (easily identifiable and scientifically verifiable) common denominator when it comes to determining which race is\u00a0<i>responsible<\/i>\u00a0for the above-mentioned horror.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Blacks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And this is exactly why Dyson is right when he stated that<i>\u00a0&#8220;\u2026 it is beyond logic, it is beyond rationality (that)\u2026White people will not understand racism until their children are murdered&#8221;.<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For white people living in 21<sup>st<\/sup>-century Western countries are indeed flabbergasted by this wanton slaughter of\u00a0<i>blacks by blacks<\/i>\u2026 in 21<sup>st<\/sup>-century Western countries!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let us be brutally honest here; white areas during Apartheid had the same murder-rate as (comparable) Western countries at the time. I.e. it was just as safe in white areas during Apartheid as it was in, for example, white areas in England, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Germany, America,\u00a0et cetera.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ergo, you cannot compare apples to pears\u2026 hence Dyson`s\u00a0<i>despair.<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For if you see everything through the prismon of equality (see <a title=\"The prismon of equality\" href=\"http:\/\/praag.org\/?p=7169\">my previous column<\/a>), you will, inevitably, stub your toes bloody on the border separating that which is &#8220;logical and rational&#8221; from that which is &#8220;illogical and irrational&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And this is exactly why the notion of (a) White Genocide is derided in Mandelatopia. For we (whites) are being killed at the exact\u00a0<i>same<\/i>\u00a0rate as\u00a0<i>blacks killing blacks.\u00a0<\/i>Meaning we are all truly\u00a0<i>equal<\/i>\u00a0now in Mandelatopia\u2026 even in (violent) Death.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As if being slaughtered at the same rate as blacks &#8211;\u00a0<i>slaughtered by fellow blacks<\/i>\u00a0&#8211; is somehow &#8220;positive&#8221;<i>\u2026<\/i>\u00a0because we are all being slaughtered\u00a0<i>equally\u00a0<\/i>now &#8211; all according to that multi-culti (moral) dictum which has elevated the Xhosa goat herder called Mandela to (a) God in South Africa\u2026and globally.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All\u00a0<i>equal\u00a0<\/i>in life and death &#8211; precisely as god-man Mandela wanted it. All precisely according to Dyson`s despair\u2026 his desperate cry of &#8220;racism&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For &#8220;racism&#8221; has become a metonym for\u00a0<i>come-down-to-our-level<\/i>. Dyson`s cry is, in effect, nothing more than a\u00a0<i>desperate\u00a0<\/i>call (on the part of blacks, worldwide) to accept their brutally primitive pre-Neolithic (moral) dictates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Be that as it may; it suffices to say that I, for one, will\u00a0<i>not<\/i>\u00a0heed this call!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I, as a Child of the Enlightenment,\u00a0<i>deserve<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0<i>demand,<\/i>\u00a0more from Life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Just ask yourself the following simple question; who brought\/enacted democracy and human rights to\/in South Africa\u2026 or America, England, Sweden, Australia,\u00a0et cetera.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We, the Westerners, did. Nobody else.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Be that as it may; we Westerners are definitely not perfect &#8211; a fact none of us can ever plausibly deny. But we sure as hell do not deserve that which is being dealt out by blacks, globally,\u00a0<em>at our expense!<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">South Africa (Mandelatopia) has become a Bantustan.
