Grading on a curve, you are correct.

As it transitions in a Rhodesian-like way, you are correct today.

Give it another 20 years, then compare and contrast.

Of course "genocide" is the wrong word...even white South African farmers are disputing the claim...

Trump's lack of credibility and incompetence grows more alarming...doesn't this give off a musky odor???


The disheartening thing is that we are witnessing a resurgence of 19th century attitudes in America towards blacks (people of color, nowadays all dark skinned people), attitudes that led to the acceptance of slavery as a God given right and eventually to the bloodiest war in American history. What followed was a century long march, a struggle towards equality of all Americans that culminated in the Civil Rights Act. The ugly underbelly of resistance to that mission has been exposed as having been hidden from sight all along. White supremacy has been encouraged to flourish by the administration of a nation once considered the model of tolerance and acceptance of all people. As a person of color, with dark skin, who believed the myth of a diverse America as a Shining Star, my eyes have been opened.

They only kill the farmers who won't peacefully give up everything they have. So it's a mostly peaceful program.

That is a broad generality that I am not making.

Instead, am pointing at a specific example of the second richest country on the continent (ironically behind South Africa), down to 16th in GDP on the continent.

They have high unemployment rates, inflation, and a large “informal economy.”

Notice I didn’t say….. Black Market.

Fair enough. But note that even with all the different social and economic factors, many here point to race first.

Maybe the real problem with South Africa is they don’t have enough tariffs….
It is “a most beautify word” you know.
