The MSM falls all over itself angrily advocating the targeted killings of White farmers is NOT a genocide

https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/21/politics/fact-check-white-farmers-south-africa-trump

Even when White farmers have been killed in South Africa, it has often been unclear that the crime was motivated by race. A South African government commission in 2003 found that the primary motive behind most attacks on farms was robbery. South African experts have reached similar conclusions this year.

Apparently what matters is motivation. Take heart White South Africans. When a mob breaks down your door in the middle of the night, drags your family out to be tortured and murdered, its cuz you had stuff they wanted! Why so upset? Just let your family get tortured and murdered, we have to prove Trump wrong!!!

In 2020, late in Trump’s first term, the State Department released a report on human rights in South Africa in which it said, “Some advocacy groups asserted white farmers were racially targeted for burglaries, home invasions, and killings, while many observers attributed the incidents to the country’s high and growing crime rate.” The State Department went on to surface arguments against the notion of race-motivated farm attacks. It wrote, “According to the Institute for Security Studies, ‘farm attacks and farm murders have increased in recent years in line with the general upward trend in South Africa’s serious and violent crimes.’”

It's not targeted killings, its just random violence against White farmers, and who cares anyway, all of South Africa is killing each other all the time and this is just a drop in the bucket.

During the Wednesday meeting, Trump tried to bolster his case by making apparent reference to an expropriation law Ramaphosa signed this year in part to help remedy the racial inequality in land ownership that still plagues South Africa three decades after the end of apartheid. (A 2017 report found that White people owned 72% of the country’s farms and agricultural holdings by individual landowners.) The new law has been attacked by Trump ally Elon Musk, who is from South Africa.

The law requires the government to provide “just and equitable” compensation, in most cases, to a landowner whose land is expropriated. But it also allows seizures without compensation in certain cases – from owners of any race – when the seizure is deemed “in the public interest” and certain conditions are met, such as the land being abandoned, the land being unused because the owner’s main purpose is to benefit from its appreciation, or the land having a market value the same or lower than government investments or subsidies in it.

Hey! South Africa hasn't taken anyone's land...yet. Stop calling attention to this new law we just passed to take farms from private land owners.

A neat little Chat gpt summary of the wonderful ANC government.

The African National Congress (ANC) has governed South Africa since the end of apartheid in 1994. While it played a pivotal role in dismantling apartheid and establishing a democratic nation, its tenure has been marred by systemic corruption, mismanagement, and state capture, leading to significant economic and social challenges.

💰 State Capture and Corruption
Under President Jacob Zuma (2009–2018), South Africa experienced extensive state capture, where private interests, notably the Gupta family, exerted undue influence over state institutions. This period is estimated to have cost the country up to R250 billion (approximately $17 billion USD) and reduced GDP growth by about 4% annually .

Key institutions were compromised:

🏛 Institutional Erosion and Patronage
The ANC's governance has led to:

Public Sector Decline: Skilled professionals were purged, and appointments were based on loyalty rather than merit, weakening institutional capacity .

Financial Mismanagement: The ANC faced insolvency, accumulating over R200 million in debt, and struggled to pay staff salaries, resorting to crowdfunding .

⚠ Economic and Social Impact
The ANC's policies and mismanagement have led to:

High Unemployment: Approximately 33%, with youth unemployment exceeding 60%.
Deteriorating Infrastructure: Frequent power outages and unreliable public services.
Rising Crime Rates: Increased violence and organized crime, partly due to weakened law enforcement .

📉 Declining Popularity
In the 2024 general elections, the ANC received just over 40% of the vote, marking a significant decline from nearly 70% in 2004. This reflects widespread disillusionment with its governance .

🔍 Conclusion
While the ANC was instrumental in ending apartheid and establishing democracy, its prolonged rule has been characterized by corruption, mismanagement, and state capture. These issues have undermined economic growth, eroded public trust, and hindered the delivery of essential services, leaving South Africa grappling with significant challenges.
