Tell your buddy to get a clue and get out. I know it's his home, but in the end, it may end up saving his life.

of course
he is trying to get relocated to Ohio to work at my foundry. same owners and board and all that but it is not an easy decision.

i mean for him it is easy. the answer is yes

not like 20 years ago though

he cant just come here. i cant sponsor him

he needs the companies support

it is looking better for him now than it was a year ago

it helps that the new metallurgist they brought in from canada is not really working out

We'll never get rid of racism.

As long as we have organizations like this that exist and the Feds insist on collecting racial data there will always be friction. When you divide people up my race in a systemic fashion you end up with winners and losers and a backlash.

Government contracts here in the States already have a WBE/BBE requirement; meaning 10 percent of the total contract value must be fulfilled by a Black Business Enterprise or Women's Business Enterprise (black- or female-majority owned businesses).

just wanted to share this because i think it is really interesting.
i know every now and then we have some discussions about the climate in south africa.

my buddy lives in durban and he has been telling me about this.

as he explains it the ANC (might not be them) or whoever is running the show it basically making it so white owned companies and companies that have a majority of white workers as opposed to black lose business.

each company gets a BBE rating.
black owned? higher rating
more black people working for you? higher rating

things like that

as he explains it companies are basically forced to buy their goods from companies with a high BBE rating. if they buy from companies with a low or lower rating then their rating goes down and people best not buy from them.

here is an image of his his companies(and my companies parent company) BBE certificate.

non compliance
rating = 0

because it is a white(jewish if that matters) owned company in that climate in south africa


problems everywhere you know

just wanted to share. figured some would find it interesting

So, what are you saying? your buddies from all over the world deserve special treatment?

yeah cause that is the same as the government doing this to you

Uh? Yes..yes it is. Are you saying that because I’m a righty?
It’s basing an organization off of race, so yes, yes it is the same thing.
Hell, I thought we would agree for once, but nope! My racist take is different than your racist take. I’ll just be sitting over here. To the right of you...

I recently met a fella from SA. He said he left, because he got tired of killing people who were trying to kill him. I don’t know him well, but he didn’t seem like the type of person who makes that stuff up.

The anc are quite psychotic and corrupt as hell. BEE is racism, it is being done as a punishment to white South Afrikaans, most of which never had a hand or choice with pre-1985 apartheid. There is also affirmative action in south africa, a program meant for minorities lol. Whites are the minority in south africa, but affirmative action is used for blacks.

South Africa is now nothing but a joke, just like their military, their AA and BEE programs, the economy, the crumbling infrastructure, rolling brownouts, poison water, AIDS/HIV everywhere, witchdoctors on the healthcare system payroll, lol. You can even buy gold and diamonds at 4cents on the dollar if you know the right people :-)

South Africa has been a very dangerous place to live for a certain race since the 80's. It's sad that those that had nothing to do with the apartheid system are being terrorized. All those that prospered under the apartheid system left long ago leaving mainly the poor farmers who couldn't afford to get out.

Well. . . that's disturbing.

Wonder when it'll catch on here in the US.

We already have it in Chicago. Its called The Rainbow Coalition - jesse jackson. The idea that they call it a nonprofit is an absolute joke. Money is the only thing they are after. Its basically organized crime, syndicate-style insurance. They show up with their hands out and promise that if you "donate" they won't sue you and picket your business until you go bankrupt. Our new mayor, the gay black woman who ran on an 'end corruption' platform, is Rainbow Coalition. So much for ending corruption...like that was ever a possibility in this city...lmao

I was there from 86 to 90, it only became a little dangerous after Mandela got out in Feb 1990. However, Mandela went Russia for about a year for puppet training, so it didn't start to get really bad until he got back. Then in 1994, it went for a total crap and rapidly went consistently downhill.

Life was much better when we could hunt anc terrorists, our solutions were cost effective and permanent :-)

Here is a link to a man who wrote about what you are talking about in July of last year.

Notice the one's in the thread that argue against what he claims is happening.


Sounds like Halfoldman is a prophet.

It is! Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton were both presidential candidates. I guess we could speculate they would change their ways, but c’mon now. You and I both now they would rip everything you have from you if you are white and they had free reign.

meant 45 years old
metallurgist for 20

I figured you meant something like that.

I was just able and willing to bust your balls about it.



ETA: I sent you a PM a little while back on another thread. I know the alert function seems to be broken.

Coming to a western nation near you.

The blueprint for this is being laid out in things like diversity (if I hear have read that word again I am going to have a melt down) quotas.

You wait, 10 years from now companies in the western world will be rated in a similar fashion though based and judge by ‘diversity’.
