White former Rhodesian laments the loss of his people, wonders "what went wrong?" (IndentDix)
The Rhodies and Afrikaaners both kept all the blacks around to use as wage slaves instead of driving them off the land or exterminating them. Just like with cockroaches or rats, you gotta deal with them permanently, so they never get to that point where they're numerically superior to you and yours.

"Democracy can work in certain small, contained situations where the interests of all participants are aligned, and all are somewhat equally informed and willing to work together to implement the established consensus."
