So someone on here says whites are persecuted in South Africa?

I went to South Africa for 3 weeks 5 months ago and was treated fairly even in the remote parts.

    As a visitor you wouldn't experience the issues some of the native whites have. Also being there only 3 weeks makes your exposure to any possible crime more limited. You really have to read the history. It mostly comes from the government taking over privately owned farms because they say the whites used their historical privilege to obtain it. While certainly there's a history there it doesn't feel very good for farmers who are just trying to make a living getting their lively-hood taken away after their family owned the land for the last century. There's also still a lot of poverty there which creates crime that targets people with money which also creates some of that sentiment.

    For people with privilege, equality feels like oppression.

    The government is going take away the lands bought and owned and run by white farmers WITHOUT COMPENSATION.

    If this is not alarming , I don't know what is.

    Imagine American government took away all your land claiming your white ancestors wronged someone in the past. How would you feel ?

    Users like Gypsyfish can quote all marxist buzzwords and phrases, two wrongs do not make a right. Taking away the properties from someone without compensation is persecution.

    Try owning a farm. Furthermore, that's anecdotal. Lots of people go to S.Chicago and live. Doesn't make it a good neighborhood.

    The governemtnthere just takes farms without compensation just like happened in Rhodesia. Guess what happened...starvation.
