Africans Pursue Dreams in Europe
June 17, 2015
HERE’S an interesting article in The Wall Street Journal, also posted by Brenda Walker at VDARE, about the migrants who are leaving Senegal for Europe. Drew Hinshaw writes:
Senegal is a stable West African democracy, and Kothiary has profited from the currents of globalization transforming rural Africa’s more prosperous areas. Flat screen TVs and, increasingly, cars—mostly purchased with money wired home by villagers working in Europe—have reshaped what was once a settlement of mud huts. The wealth has plugged this isolated landscape of peanut farms and baobab trees into the global economy and won respect for the men who sent it.
But it has also put European living standards on real-time display, and handed young farm hands the cash to buy a ticket out.
A Senegalese woman is quoted:
“What is happening now is not that different from the time of slavery,” Mr. Diop said. “We are losing the arms we need to build this country.”
De-Christianized Europe is a materialist utopia for Africans. Would they be risking everything to get to Europe if they were greeted by gargoyles and black-clothed clerics instead of social workers and pornographic billboards? Would they flee their families and homes to settle in an alien culture if they were reminded of that ancient pessimism once they hit Italy’s shores?
It’s not surprising that Africans will do anything to be part of such a frivolous, man-centered culture.
On that subject, here is a video showing the destruction of the church of Saint Jacques in Abbeville, France in 2013. According to a writer for the Arts Tribune, it would have cost about 200 euros per resident of Abbeville to save the building, a cost that could have been spread out over several years. But the city government decided to tear it down instead.
Weep for Europe. The waves of Africans inundating its shores want to participate in its escapism and diabolical dreams. And without God, there are almost no men in Europe left to stop them.
