I should’ve asked...Why is the right lying about South Africa?...but I wanted to assume that people were mislead and would change their minds upon hearing the facts. Apparently that doesn’t work.

I am confident they will make the same mistake. Idiots don’t learn from history.

Right. Whites weren’t killing blacks. I got it.

BTW...who killed Steve Biko?

Must have been a farmer.

Tucker Carlson has made South Africa his main story this week. As soon as the Manafort and Cohen news broke, it's like he forgot that we're in America, other than to cover the murder by the employee of the Republican farm.

It serves 2 purposes: Distract the sheep from the truth, and keep the alt-right and other racists engaged.

Pretty disgusting to demonize small children who happens to be white as "hunters" who have murdered their "prey". Why not just condemn these horrific racist attacks instead of trying to justify it? Do you have the same attitudes towards people of white skin color in America? If they get tortured and murdered, they "had it coming" because they are evil "hunters"?

Exactly and South African officials have fought back, claiming the story is mostly made up bull crap that's been pushed by Alt-right groups for years.

Why do you trust SA officials? The party in charge is as corrupt as it gets and have been using racist rhetoric to gain support for years.

Targeting a vulnerable minority makes perfect sense. It does not make sense to completely exterminate that minority though, because the minority serves an important role as a scapegoat to be used as a distraction from the corruption and sleaze going on in the ruling party.

Sorry, were you talking about South Africa, or the current US government? I genuinely can't tell.

OK, so you think the current US government is racist, but why would you defend the South African government which is far worse? I dont get it. We dont have hundreds of thousands of horrific torture murders in the US every year where the victims are targeted because of their skin color.

The whites in SA serves the same role as the Jews did in Europe for centuries. Its not in the interest of the corrupt elites to wipe them out completely.

South Africa does not have hundreds of thousands of murders of any kind each year either. I get you have an agenda, but at least pretend to have some facts.


17,250 murders in the US in 2016, 19,016 in South Africa.
