Yes and the other 3000 WHITE farmers who have been murdered (men,women and children) all deserved to die to!

However, don't any of you see the irony in this? That his railing at the risk of being murdered in his own bed by blacks, if they were allowed to take over the country, is in fact what happened!
They make up 80% of the population and after all, it is their country. So what do you expect, when the whites treat them so badly.
I've lost my mind and I am making no effort to find it.
Re: Eugine Terreblanche RIP
I worked and lived in Zimbabwe for many years working on a computer/O-level project with blacks and managed by the British Government and Cambridge University.
I never had a problem with the blacks in fact they often invited me to their villages to sit with the elders. I did have a problem with some of the Rhodie's who not only hated the blacks and the Asians but white expats too. Remember running a couple off the the road in my long wheel base LR. They were hassling me because of my government plates.
Having said that, I knew many good, hard working and caring Rhodies who had been given the opportunity to work there on a cheap ticket from the British Government some generations ago. They treated their staff well with food, housing, education for them and their kids.
I lived in a large house with many staff and initially wanted to let them go as I did not want to be perceived as a colonial G&T tyrant. My housekeeper came to see me (Buliah was her name and she was as wide as she was tall). She said if the staff go they have nowhere to go and no work. Please take care of them. Well I agreed and took care of them and their families providing food, housing and hospital needs. I know they stole. Sugar, fruit from the orchard and beer from the store room. SHIT---they needed it.
One day Buliah said everybody happy white boss better than black boss. Made my day.
Now on reflection I am experiencing the same when I am in Isaan. So often we take things for granted and don't realise a 100Bht note to them is like a 1000Bht note to us
Whoa. I am getting on my integration thing again

It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.

Aren't some expat 'mobaans' sort of a thai form of Apartheid?
