Discussion Genocide?
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.

Ask them to take a photo or video of their persecution. It should be really easy to show direct proof and if they can't... Well then they're A) lying B) really bad at keeping themselves or their family safe.
It's easy to see through their bs claims, just ask them for direct proof.
