Genocide?

[u/Empty-Champion6929]

There are claims that there is a genocide taking place in South Africa and I think the fact that the US is adamantly propagating this propagandistic narrative is more reason not to trust them.

Furthermore, I am disappointed in Trump's refusal to at least consider Ramaphosa's sentiments during yesterday's meeting. He seems to be both gullible and ignorant.

I should finally mention that I am deeply hurt by our fellow white South Africans who are proudly reinforcing these claims of genocide. I know that our country is run by an incompetent and self-serving government that seems to not have any concerns about economic development. However, seeing a cohort of white people take the stance of validating that there is a genocide is painful to witness.

As someone born post apartheid, I'm finally starting to see.

Which is so ironic. I can just picture those posh afrikaans ladies sipping their coffee at mug n bean by the mall and talking about how bad the genocide is before taping their cards and driving off in their nice cars🙄

Yeah, talk to the Armenians, the German and Polish Jews and the Rwandans about genocide.

Those white Afrikaners think if they are not baas then they must be getting targeted and systemically murdered by "them".

And the Irish (it wasn’t a famine)

Interesting that you didn’t include the Palestinians, since that’s literally a current genocide taking place.

And Stalin’s Russia…

On social media the clips of the presidential meeting. There are only comments of people tating that they're white south Africans and the genocide is real, and they thank trump. It's not making our case any easy because whoever is falling for trumps rage bait on the news is gonna use this as fuel
