I'm cancelling my plans for a holiday in South Africa. contrary to what any political correctness, or racial sensitivity notions may be, its just to dangersous, and I really don't think white people are safe there. I'm actually quite disturbed by what I have found out, and I'm afraid that not only would a trip to SA be dangerous, in all actuality, it may put a bad feeling over me in regards to black people, and I don't want to feel that way, but I really can't see how it would not happen in SA. I mean 70% of the violent crime is commited by black africans, and a majority is towards white people. I just really don't understand it. and people want to dismiss the ideas about being civilized? I have traveled throughout Southeast Asia by myself, I have traveld through Mexico by myself, and I have traveled through Canada, and Europe by myself, and have never ever had any problems, or felt endangered. Africa is just to uncivilized and dangerous, its a real shame too, it seems like such a beautiful place.

a statement from the US governemnet.

It would be insane to travel to South Africa, but whats even more insane, is that because of political corrcetness, we are just supposed to pretend that its not a problem, because statistically its the blacks commiting the crime, and to acknowlegde this would mean that we were racist, which would just be horrible, so instead we just have to go on pretending. Which is prue insantity. There is obvisouly a problem, and something is causing it, so what is it?

Overall Crime and Safety Situation

The risk of violent crime is low throughout most of the Netherlands, and to our knowledge there has never been a targeting of tourists or visitors. Some increase in violent crime has occurred in the largest cities, Amsterdam and Rotterdam, but this remains rare. Travelers are targets of pick-pockets and luggage thieves. Theft of laptop computers at airports and train stations occurs frequently. Amsterdam is home to several 419 Fraud Rings that operate virtually unopposed by police.

Victims of crime should file a police report. The emergency phone number is 112, which is the equivalent of the U.S. 911 emergency notification system. Callers to 112 may request an English-speaking or multi-lingual operator to assist with their call. Those parking vehicles on public streets should use anti-theft devices and avoid leaving packages or GPS systems in plain sight.

I'm getting ready to travel to Amsterdam in a few weeks, pretty much ZERO crime against tourist.

Man stabbed to death on beach: South Africa: News: News24

a person could post all day about this stuff.

Man stabbed to death on beach

this is what the police had to say:

Superintendent Alex Wright of the Durban metro police confirmed the incident occurred around 02:00.

"One must remember that it is an offence to camp overnight on a beach," he said.

This absoultly ridiclous, and exactly what I have been saying about the insane stupidity of political correctness. A man was stabbed to death, but all the police can say is that its against the law to stay overnite on the beach.

I did'nt want to belive that their was a black conspiricy to get rid of the white people in SA, but there obvilously is.
