White Lives Matter

White Lives Matter

Black justices in Southern Africa have struck a blow for the White Lives Matter, the yet to be launched movement.

The man responsible over thirty years for the death of tens of thousands of blacks, the displacement of many more , the impoverishment of his largely  black country and the exile of thousands more, this man has been congratulated  for “his massive contribution”. He has also been rewarded with immunity from prosecution, a generous pension, safe passage for his wife and children and protection of what he claims is his “frugal life style.”  He will receive  a $10m payoff and his salary of $150k guaranteed for life. His “business” interests will not be touched.

Meanwhile   at the same time ,nearby, a  white man,without legs but with resources, who got mad one night and totalled his blond girlfriend  while she was in the loo has had  his sentence more than doubled. Originally given five years, on the basis that shooting your girlfriend, especially when you have no legs, are extremely spoilt, have a terrible temper and like guns is something that could happen to anyone. Now responding to pressure from WLM the appeal court has decided that  fifteen years for outright murder is more appropriate. The girls family said “Justice prevails.”

So one law for a white girl in the loo and none for  tens of thousands of blacks who were murdered, brutalised and their livelihoods destroyed. Crudely the black justices of Southern Africa seem to have decided that one white life is worth fifteen years and  tens of thousands of black lives worth zero. Or is this  a case as(like Mugabe) Jesuit educated Stalin pointed out ,one life is a tragedy, a million is a statistic?
