White South Africans stare genocide in the faceWhat will be a better , less alarming, question or heading?
"In his brutal honesty, Ramaphosa told me of the ANC's 25-year strategy to deal with the whites: it would be like boiling a frog alive, which is done by raising the temperature very slowly. Being cold-blooded, the frog does not notice the slow temperature increase, but if the temperature is raised suddenly, the frog will jump out of the water. He meant that the black majority would pass laws transferring wealth, land, and economic power from white to black slowly and incrementally, until the whites lost all they had gained in South Africa, but without taking too much from them at any given time to cause them to rebel or fight."
Unfortunately in my opinion, that isn't genocide, it's just despicable, evil and racist thinking.Yes.

This.There are multiple worlds within SA. More than we probably realize and just because something is not our experience, does not mean it is not happening elsewhere. As a city dwelling white South African who lives in a secure estate and works in a secure building I do not fear a genocide against myself. However I can understand why white farmers would feel differently. Murder as part of home invasion in SA is 5 people per 100K. On farms that number is 100 out of 100k. So 20 times more than the national average. If it is a genocide or not I don't think I am qualified to say but it is a problem, and the government saying its nothing is wrong. Other politicians directly inciting it is an even bigger problem. I guess at this point I would say it's more similar to informal pogrom's than genocide but I think it could escalate.
100% this... and people dismiss others just because they don't grasp this.There are multiple worlds within SA.
