[QUOTE="Aquarius, post: 1272754, member: 12359"] [b]RE: Prediction for the 20s[/b] For the rest of the world, I'll keep it short and simple: 1. South Africa will undergo civil unrest. There will be attempts to seize the companies of whites, demands to fire all whites from their jobs, and seize the homes of whites. Terrorist attacks on private schools or Afrikaans public schools will possibly occur, so will attacks against businesses and venues with a mostly white clientele. Indians and Asians won't bear the brunt of the actual hatred, but they will be just as caught up in all of this. However, lots of young Afrikaner men own a shotgun and an offroad-capable pickup truck, while lots of Afrikaner boomers have extensive military training.
