Hold the Genocide, Please By Andy Nowicki
Boer Self-Determination as a Just Cause
I am reminded of the movie Safe House; there's a scene involving a street demonstration by blacks and whites. I suppose there may still be some liberal whites in South Africa who believe in multiracial harmony, especially among the youth. Once they decided to share power was the black-on-white violence inevitable? How do you protect yourself against a numerically superior group in a "democracy"? If the whites couldn't partition a separate state for themselves, they should have just left (as many are doing now).

Alas, there is very little to admire in the first feminists not much to praise in the positions, given how radical they truly were. Self-proclaimed Catholic feminists do not understand this, believing that they are acceptable merely because they are against abortion and endorse true equality.
