These poor folks are trying to carry on a normal life in a war zone. The police cannot help them because they always arrive too late to really do much good. What is the solution to this problem?

According to Arthur Kemp, apartheid could not work because it involved too many blacks living among the whites. This makes sense, and it seems to be what is behind the problems today; the blacks are in charge, and they do not police the population at all. Instead, the black thugs are allowed to terrorize the white population at will, and nothing much happens, certainly nothing happens in the way of a preventative.

This points to the idea that separation is the only solution. You cannot have large numbers of blacks living in a white society and keep white social structure in place. The extreme evidence of this is seen in southern Africa (SA, Rhodesia), but it is also seen in the UK, France, and the USA. Separation is necessary.

This is not racial supremacist talk, this is talking about separation, and there is a world of difference. I am not saying that whites are better than blacks, but I am saying that whites are different from blacks. The idea that skin color makes no difference is ridiculous. It is not skin color per se that matters, but rather what that skin color indicates that matters, the other characteristics that go with that skin color. There are differences, and they do matter. For anyone who does not believe this, then why are there no black led societies that work? There are many countries where blacks have had a free hand to run their countries for many years, they have much in the way of natural resources, they have received much in the way of aid from white countries, etc., and still they fail miserably. There is a difference between black people and white people. You cannot have black leadership and success. It leads to what we have in SA, Rhodesia, and will have more and more in the UK, the USA, and elsewhere.

On a personal note, when I was a small boy, we had a black maid. She told me many times that black people and white people were different. At the time, I did not really know what she meant. I could see small differences in the way she did things (she thought a great meal was "syrup and bread"), the fact that she told me casually that in order to discipline her teenage son she whipped him with a lamp cord, striking him while he was asleep because if he was awake she would never be able to get in a lick, and various other things that just were not the way we did things at all. She knew that black folks were different from white folks, and for her it was just a fact of life, not something to take offense at or get upset about. Just a fact.

Dr. D. is right about separation is the solution. Its so important to keep on this topic. In the case of the journalist, I would suspect government complicity as well.
