re: A Turtledove Story of South African History (possible Land Use Solution added on p.4)

No, dimwit, it is analogous to owner-financing. The government acquires the land and then sells it to the former employee-buyer and provides the financing ... in order to satisfy a governmental/social goal.

Is it more “leveraged” than any bank would approve? YES, you moron. I have been saying that since the FIRST post. You keep looking at this as someone seeking a PROFIT. That is NOT the goal here.

For God’s sake, this is like talking to a fence post.

But by all means, DO continue trying to make a point with emoticons.

You repeatedly call me a racist for engaging in a logic exercise, and then get whiny because I question your intelligence due to your inability to focus? Good Lord.

The “owner” is not White. In this exercise, the FORMER owner (from whom the government acquired it) was White.

Here we go again . . .

We are asking how south Africa COULD implement such a redistribution, assuming that’s decision had been made to do so.

Sort of like Goebbels speculating to Hitler how Nazis "COULD implement" a Final Solution "assuming the decision had been made to do so."

You really don’t see the difference, do you?

Not really. Nope.

This makes me sad for you.

Well, they found both gold and diamonds in the Transvaal, so I had to have minerals in Transpecos to explain the conquest .... but remember that the hypothetical nation of Transpecos includes not just far west Texas but also New Mexico, Arizona and parts of northern Mexico. There is gold there, but no diamonds. If I write the book, I will need to exclude that part ... or change it to some other precious stone.

The history can be summed up even more as
-Europeans settle a sparsely inhabited part of south Africa
-Begin spreading out into new territory and encounter Bantu(who had migrated south from Central Africa)
-Some attempt to buy land from Zulu(bantu), get double crossed and slaughtered
-Whites then just wage war to take land
-Create first world society
-Over 300 years blacks migrate in for opportunity, become majority
-Whites, not trusting blacks, start apartheid(Jim Crow type laws) after 1948
-UN applies pressure on South African whites to cede power
-Blacks now run show and validate all the reasons whites didnt trust them in the first place

I found this graphic interesting. It maps all of the farm murders for the last year on which data is available.

Looking at this map, I find myself asking whether this is a South African problem or a Gauteng Province problem. Gauteng is the smallest province, but it is home to the greatest number of these crimes. If we include the attacks within an hour’s drive from Gauteng, we find more than 60% of the attacks.

What do we know about Gauteng? It is the most populous province, despite being the smallest in size. It is also the most urban province, including both Pretoria and J’burg.

One might be tempted to say that this is a Bantu problem, Given that it is essentially non-existent in the West. That would possibly explain Western Cape and Northern Cape, where mixed-race Coloureds are the plurality (near-majority, actually). However, that would overlook Eastern Cape, where the plutality is Xhosa (Bantu) and where these crimes are also nearly non-existent.

Is it possible that most of these crimes can be attributed to urban thugs seeking secluded targets of opportunity in the nearby countryside?
