Wouldn't some Western country, like the US, want to grant asylum to these highly productive Africans?
White boy suspended for claiming 'African' prize
By Marcus Warren in New York12:01AM GMT 27 Jan 2004
A white teenager who moved from South Africa to America six years ago was suspended from school after nominating himself for a "Distinguished African-American Student of the Year" prize. Trevor Richards, 16, was accused of "showing disrespect" to black pupils at Westside High School in Omaha, Nebraska. It is thought he is the only pupil to have lived in Africa.
He and two friends put up campaign posters showing him making a thumbs-up sign and all three were suspended.
"The posters were intended to be satire on the term 'African-American'," said one of his campaign managers, Scott Rambo. The phrase is the current politically correct label for black Americans. But the satire misfired, not least because it was aired on Martin Luther King Day, a holiday marking the black preacher's role in the civil rights struggle.
"It's disruptive," said the headmaster, John Crook. "It was offensive to the individual being honoured and to some students."

I've been following this for a while. An Australian official was under fire for wanting to help resettle them due to their obvious farming success. Anarchy and more anarchy.
You can't take it with you.In this documentary, some of the Afrikaners say the cost of leaving is prohibitive, but if my survival depended on it, I'd find a way.

You know things. The only thing I know about the Boers is from this movie -The thing is there was no one living in the part of Africa that the Dutch colonized, The Zulu had killed or run off everyone years prior to then coming. So the Boers stole nothing they simply settled on an abandoned piece of dirt.
Getting rid of the white farmers worked out so well for Zimbabwe....

You read real history of native Americans, Mayans, Aztecs, Incas, Bantus, Zulus, countless other "tribes" and NONE of it was this false narrative "kumbaya" moments in complete peace and harmony with nature. Not once. It was violent and harsh and survival of the fittest. And wars and genocide happened routinely, with or without the white man's involvement.

They will take the farms away from the white devil farmers and give them to people who do not know how to farm.
Then the famines will begin.

You don't give two ***** about what I have to say, why bring it up? Besides proving yet again your bizarre obsession with me on this board.Tibs, You avoided Smash's direct question to you
Why is the right so concerned with the issue?
Quite why Fox News chose this precise moment - when all of their major rivals were covering the fallout from the Manafort and Cohen trials in Virginia and New York - to suddenly push a story on this long-running issue, is an interesting question.
Mr Trump is known to be a keen viewer of the channel, particularly their morning show Fox and Friends, and its output is widely understood to influence his thinking. He is even rumoured to speak with Fox’s star anchor, Sean Hannity, on a nightly basis.
Politically, the president ordering his secretary of state, former CIA director Mike Pompeo, to investigate the issue allows him to signal to his core white nationalist support base that he is committed to fighting for white rights.
The situation in South Africa, as the international far-right see it, is a nightmare scenario of murder and colonial revenge being played out on a national scale, threatening the very stability of post-Apartheid South African society, with frightening ramifications for the wider world.
In truth, though violence is a tragic reality of life there, especially in isolated and impoverished rural areas, there is little evidence to support the fear that this is part of a systematic bid to target Boers on the part of vengeful black South Africans.
his core white nationalist support base that he is committed to fighting for white rights.
Carlson in the Tuesday segment charged that the South African government was racist, telling The Hill on Thursday that "proposing to take people's land away not because these people have committed crimes but because those people are the wrong color" is "totally wrong."
Trump then tagged the Fox News host on Wednesday in a tweet saying he was directing his administration to look into "the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers."
South Africa tweeted: "South Africa totally rejects this narrow perception which only seeks to divide our nation and reminds us of our colonial past. "
"That's just pure propaganda. It's totally dishonest. Seeks to divide? If there are South African farm owners who committed fines or stole their land, the land should be taken from them immediately and given to the rightful owners," Carlson fired back in conversation with The Hill. "But that's not what they're talking about. They're proposing to take people's land away not because these people have committed crimes but because those people are the wrong color."
In 1994, the South African government implemented a policy after apartheid ended that permits the government to purchase white-owned farms for redistribution to black citizens when the seller is willing to cooperate.
Last month, however, leaders in the ruling government party announced plans to amend the country's constitution to allow land to be confiscated without compensation. Methods for such confiscation, and what lands would qualify, are still under debate.
"The reason apartheid was bad in the first place is because the government persecuted people on the basis of their race," Carlson argued. "That was the whole reason that the U.S. government correctly opposed apartheid. Thank heaven they did. And so to see the replacement for apartheid doing the same thing. I don't know why everyone wouldn't be offended by that."
Whites in South Africa hold an estimated 72 percent of individual-owned farms in the country but comprise of about 9 percent of the population.
According to Reuters, 47 farmers were killed in South Africa 2017 and 2018. The outlet notes that farm killings are at a 20-year low.
"If my house gets broken into, I don't want someone who looks like the burglar to be arrested and imprisoned," Carlson added. "I want the burglar to be arrested and imprisoned. I don't want the children of the burglar to be arrested and imprisoned. They didn't do it. It's literally that simple. And no one has been able to explain why it's not that simple: Why racism is wrong except sometimes it's right because, why?"
