By Bruce Haigh, published 19/3/2018

As a young diplomat posted to South Africa at the height of Apartheid, 1976/79, I chose to assist those opposing the regime.

Oh, I get it. Tony Lavis is Bruce Haigh.

Dear Bruce, if you are so opposed to racism, why did you pen an article that was racist towards white people? If you really are not racist, surely your article would have spoken of how all people of all races, ethnicities and belief systems were welcome as refugees into Australia, including white South Africans. But you did not. Your article specifically criticised Dutton for his concern about white South African refugees.

Your article implied that white South Africans should be excluded because they are racists. Even if that was true, it is still racist to make negative generalisations about an entire ethnic group of people that label them with a negative stereotype.

Now can you see why I, as a former anti racist, began to doubt the logic of the whole so called "anti racist" philosophy? You can't go on and on about racism and then exhibit the most blatant racism towards my race.

Could I suggest that the reason for your clear double standard is because of a few factors? The first is, that South Africa is turning into a failed state just like every other black African country, just as the "racists" such myself predicted it would. Once again the quixotic socialist dream of racial equality is turning into another nightmare and the socialist socialite, humanitarian, "angry young men" just can't bring themselves to admit that they were wrong again? And the "racists" that they universally condemned as stupid and ignorant were right all along?

Your caste of lefty liberals made the mistake of connecting anti racism with intelligence, and racism with ignorance and stupidity. Advocating anti racism not only virtue signalled, it was a public exhibition that displayed how intelligent you are. So it became a significant factor in your own self esteem. But now that multiculturalism has failed and you are being proven wrong, your entire self esteem is under threat. You no longer look smart, you are looking stupid. Hence the mental gymnastics and the refusal to recognise your own double standards.

//Tony Lavis is Bruce Haigh.//

Oh. Is he? That doesn't sound like it makes much sense. Surely Bruce Haigh is Bruce Haigh and Tony Lavis, whoever he may be, is Tony Lavis?

At any rate, there must be something wrong with my computer or something, because I can't see any posts from Tony Lavis. I don't suppose it matters that much, I'm just curious. Since we share the same last name, we might be related or something.

If whites do not defend whites .
Who does Bruce Haig think will?
South African blacks have seen their currency drop from $1 AUD to 1 Rand .Down to $.09 AUD to 1 Rand since blacks ran South Africa.
Who is laughing now.
As for the South African murder 35 per 100,000.
Australia and the rest of the civilised world less than one per 100,000.
Who is laughing now.
I visited South Africa during Aparteid and was surprise at how many black south Africans lived in nice homes and drove around in Mercedes.
Nothing like lefty propaganda to change historical facts.
