For more proof that bigotries flock together, let’s take a look at some tweets the always despicable Matt Forney made today after learning of the death of Nelson Mandela:
My Christmas wish came true! Nelson Mandela is dead! I BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS! #burninhell #communistshitstain

I'm going to start posting statistical evidence of how Nelson Mandela destroyed South Africa. Any neoreactionary Tweeps wanna join in?

His “statistical evidence” of an alleged “white genocide” in South Africa? A page that links to a curious document full of unsourced claims and hysterical language, and which refers to South Africa’s former apartheid system as “so-called apartheid.” (It’s a pdf; TRIGGER WARNING for gruesome pictures of murder victims.)
Here’s a piece from Africa Check debunking similar claims of a “white genocide” in South Africa.
Forney’s “statistical evidence” that life was better for everyone under apartheid comes from a publication called “The New Observer.” To get an idea of what sort of publication this is, here are some of the top stories on the site at the moment:
- Liberals Aghast as US’s “25 Most Dangerous Neighborhoods” All Happen to be Black
- The Extermination of Whites in Europe: “We Are the Last 3 German Children in Our School.”
- If White Americans Don’t Start Having Babies Now, the US Will Vanish by 2100
Here’s another Africa Check piece that takes on widely disseminated Facebook post that also claims things were better under apartheid.
Forney’s “statistical evidence” that “[u]nder Nelson Mandela and his successors, South Africa became the rape capital of the world” is a link to an article in World Net Daily about a single serial rapist in South Africa. There are no statistics in it.
While it’s a bit ironic to see Forney — an admitted girlfriend-abuser who once wrote that “[w]omen should be terrorized by their men [because] it’s the only thing that makes them behave better than chimps” — grandstanding about violence against women, it’s actually rather hard to track down reliable statistics about rape in South Africa, much less statistics about rape during apartheid, because back then the white authorities didn’t exactly give a shit about black victims of rape.
Many of those who’ve studied the culture of rape in South Africa argue that the country’s history of apartheid made the problem far, far worse, engendering “an exaggerated culture of aggression and male dominance, among both black and white,” as one researcher has argued.
My favorite tweet of the bunch, though, is this one:
Fact: Nelson Mandela had almost nothing to do with ending apartheid, because he was in jail. He stole the credit from Tutu and de Klerk.

Yeah. Screw Anne Frank, too. All she did was sit around in that dumb attic.
Here’s “Free Nelson Mandela,” by the Special AKA. When it came out, I never believed it would ever come true.
RIP.
EDITED TO ADD: Thanks to @HamSushi on Twitter for pointing me to Forney’s lovely tweets!
And in other news, no one will mourn Matt Forney. #plainoldshitstain
So if I don’t spawn ASAP then the entire continental* United States is going to, what, go up in a puff of smoke? Sink into the ocean? Be teleported to wherever Atlantis went?
* I’m assuming that he doesn’t care about Hawaii since it’s not very white.
I have rarely ever been less surprised or more disgusted.
Oh for fuck’s sake, Nelson Mandela was 95 years old. And it’s a Christmas present that he died? It’s a Christmas present to the world that he lived so long.
You know, there are legitimate criticisms of Mandela — I’m not going to go into them now because he just died, and I am a decent human being. Criticizing him from a “white genocide” angle is just racist, though.
Obviously the US is only great because white people. *rolls eyes*
Oh, so he’s one of those neo-reactionary dorks? Why am I not surprised?
Wow, Forney. Be grosser and more racist, why don’t you.
GrumpyCat
You put the words in my mouth .I wrote a post out then erased it because ..I don’t know.Its too pathetic .
Item: Male chimps often terrorize their females.
Inescapable conclusion: Forney behaves no better than a chimp.
Here here Serrana!
Lets all lift a glass to celebrate his 95 years !
To Mr.Nelson Mandela .
If only we all would endure so much as you to make this world a better place .
Respect.
Whites are a minority here in Chicago, and it still exists.
When I went to South Africa, I made a point of visiting two of the places where Mandela was imprisoned. He and the other anti-Apartheid activists had more courage than Forney could ever imagine.
If Forney were subjected to even a teensy fragment of what Mandela was, his “courage” would all go running down his leg.
cloudiah, but Forney has accomplished REAL THINGS like HITCHHIKING ACROSS THE US and PUTTING TERRIBLE BLOG POSTS INTO TERRIBLE CREPPY E-BOOKS and DATING A GIRL WHO’S NOT A FATTY .
Worth repeating .
Also respects to his family .Those closest to him . I am sorry for you loss.
No worry I’m sure he will get a Nobel prize for that.
Bra-fucking-vo. He actually approached mediocrity there once or twice!
But only approaching. Mediocrity remains tragically out of reach for him, he can only gaze longingly at it like a dog with its nose pressed up against the window of a butcher shop.

No surprised that this racist piece of trash is pleased by the death of Mandela, someone who fought his whole life agianst genuine opression.
Rest In Piece Mandela. sorry to see you go.
Men’s Human’s Rights Movement.
@David, I stand corrected. Dating a girl who’s not a fatty is a great accomplishment for human rights.
XD
Serrana has said it best here. Forney is desperately flailing to get another hit of outrage since his “girls with low self-esteem” triumph is already fading from collective memory. He’s boringly predictable.
La Strega, yeah, I probably shouldn’t have given him the attention.
