Looks like South Africa is heading down the same road as Zimbabwe

The Black had decades learning what they hated about their system. Then today they do the same things only reverse. Does this make a statement about Blacks and does this have a warning for the USA?

If they go down this path, then it's unlikely to end well.

There is also the tragedy of "plaasmorde" (farm murders), completely shut up by the mainstream medias :

Yeah because taking back land that never belonged to the people who are on it now is definitely the same as forcibly removing black Africans and forcing them into open air prisons guarded by the military and using them as cheap labor. Definitely the same thing. I don’t agree with government ownership of land, but obviously something has to happen and it’s going to because the majority of people agree with land reclamation.

It makes a statement that South African blacks aren’t concerned with progressing up the social ladder the moral and ethical way.

So South Africa should not be surprised when the “white mans’s investments” start to dry up as a result from this racist policy.

Imagine the outrage in America if blacks were given free land seized by white owners as “reparations” or revenge. Not in a millions years would it happen because no black American currently alive was ever a slave. And the narrative would be “blacks can only obtain things by taking them.”

Being black on this planet means you must do things the right way to achieve success, or society will just look at you like a reverse racism, affirmative action, racial quota, government handout charity case that needs white people for advancement.

Yet that documentary looks into the Whites living in shanty towns but it ignores the majority of people living in poverty which are the Blacks. It, not a balanced report and there is not what the average black person is living through in that conditions. I am sure the White farmers have hired black workers, and I not heard anything from them in the documentary. Sure it a tragedy for White farmers that are beaten up and killed but it left out other things.

If you are interested by the fate of SA Blacks, watch all the mainstream medias, or liberal medias, you will have an abundance of "information", however these medias are not interested in the plight of non -Black South Africans , which still represent (including Asians and mixed-race) an important minority (I believe the Liberals are very keen to defend minorities, don't they?). And even among the Blacks, not all of them agree with ANC/EFF policies. And the Zulus, or the Suthus, or the Khoisans (Cape aboriginals)don't really see eye to eye with the majority Xhosas.

Who are you referring to when you say "taking back land that never belonged to the people who are on it now"?
