Because America hasn't meddled in other countries' business enough, right?

How about, it's none of our business? Let South Africa chart its own course. It has nothing to do with us, and it sure as hell is no business of the U.S. military.

For starters blacks are not going to become the majority, and whites will still be the largest racial group. If and when whites become a minority, it will be based on all minorities combined being a large group than whites, not any individual race of minority overtaking whites.
At least not in the next 100 years.

Whites birthrates have dropped to below sustainable numbers (requires at least 2.3 kids per couple) while some minority birthrates are above that.
The irony of course is that whites pay for poor minorities to have more and more kids, but put off having their own for fear of not being able to financially afford them.

How much is that going to cost? We're already $21 trillion in debt.

Oh well. Why not let the natives manage their own land and we will revisit the situation in 10 years to see how they are doing. I'd like to think they could really make a go of it (farming) but Africa has a history of corruption and dictators...

If I were a white South African, I would have moved years ago.

If SA goes the way of the Kenya Mau-Mau It will not be pretty.

Sad that the world came down hard on Apartheid to end it, but is silent when whites are the ones who are oppressed. People making comments against white South Africans obviously don't know the history of that country.

Perhaps you should be more concerned about the struggling white farmers here in America who I have to bail out thanks to Trump's stupid tariffs.

Though we should not send our troops like one poster said we should do, I agree in principle with your comment.
The practice of Apartheid is an anathema to our values, but SA government was not really our business. Yet we and other countries put economic and political pressure on them to change. We also took the side of the Mandela's, who were known to have engaged in terrorist activities. Then once the Apartheid ended, we seemed to revel in the outcome, not being wary of the potential and unintended consequences.

Now it would seem that legally owned land is being taken away based on the race of the owners, and it might well turn into a bloodbath.
Yet as you point out, few seem to care or even empathize with the white farmers.
Since liberals always want to champion causes for minorities, why not in this case, as whites are a minority group that could be slaughtered knowing the history of SA?

I agree with everything you posted, Vector1. In 2017 the U.S. gave South Africa $471,000,000. That's a pretty big piece of leverage our government could use to put pressure on the South African government.
