When national, ethnic, religious, and other groups blame the West, or white people, or Israel (the usual suspects) for any and every one of their misfortunes, we should ask them to name ONE - just one - example of a society that fulfills their main demands in terms of morality and justice.
Quite often societies ruled by their own national, ethnic or religious group are the ones that commit the most egregious offenses against basic human rights.
The Palestinians and their friends are the most salient example. Look at the Middle East and see the oppression, dehumanization, and bloodshed that takes place every minute in countries ruled by Islam.
Better still, look at Palestinian society and see how they themselves perpetrate serious abuses of human rights, persecute Christians, and murder Jews because of their ethnicity. They have no moral credibility.
Furthermore, Islam has perpetrated the greatest genocide in mankind's history: 250 millions non-Muslims murdered, and counting. Read more
Black people in America blame white society for their dysfunctional families, high criminality, and poverty. But look at black-ruled countries and you will see injustice, corruption, and poverty, often to a much higher degree than any found in American black communities.
The following article is by columnist Arnold Ahlert, whose columns berate the left. And with good reason. The left these days is a pernicious force in the West. But the problem is actually one of HUMAN NATURE, not so much of political ideology.
It is humans that desecrate our planet and all living things. We use, enslave, humiliate and torture other human beings under our control, and treat animals in the most horrible manner. In no other animal species do we see instances of sadism and murder for the sport of it as in the human species.
And yes, it is worse in some countries and cultures than in others. That's why Asian and African migrants are flocking to the West, instead of the other way around.
Xenophobic violence in South Africa
against migrants from other African countries
and against white farmers
Key points on this page:
Media silent about the disintegration of post-apartheid South Africa.
Ilana Mercer's book "Into the Cannibal's Pot" debunks all the myths about a better SA after the adoption of the 1994 constitution that followed the release of Nelson Mandela.
SA has the highest rate of rape in the world.
Rape is part of the culture. The courts release 24 out of every 25 men brought to trial for rape.
SA has one of the highest rates of murder, surpassing drug cartel-infested Mexico, Rwanda's past genocide, and Sudan's ongoing genocide.
(Statistics don't reflect reality. Many crimes are not reported by police stations, so their official figures may represent only half of the actual cases. See related articles on SA further on this page.)
Over 4000 of those murdered have been white South African farmers.
The economy is based on enforced affirmative action for blacks, regardless of merit.
This has destroyed the economy and increased poverty.
Farmland confiscated from whites remains barren.
Life expectancy has declined from 64 at the end of apartheid to 56 today.
The national debt has grown by 44 percent.
The nation’s rand-based currency lost 20 percent of its value in 2013.
The current unemployment rate stands at 25 percent.
The city of Durban has fallen off the list of the world’s 50 largest container ports.
Political corruption at all levels is also going up, and with no sign of abating.
The justice system is broken down beyond imagination.
Nelson Mandela's record as a Soviet stooge and a terrorist.
The years-long violence against migrants from other African countries.
The Ongoing Tragedy
of Post-Apartheid South Africa

Few things are more disturbing than the collaborative media silence that attends the ongoing disintegration of post-apartheid South Africa.
