The image came from a video that showed humanitarian workers lifting body bags in the city of Goma in the Democratic Republic of #Congo. #Trump falsely presented the photo as evidence of mass killings of white South Africans.
Here’s just a tiny bit of evidence to support the truth of what’s really happening in South Africa, and there’s far far more proof if you actually take the time to look…

In that YouTube video you posted, the people living in all those tin shacks at the beginning of the video are those very same black people living in informal settlements I talked about in my original comment, that is not how the vast majority of white people in South Africa live, the vast majority of white people live in formal housing in the suburbs. You would know this if you actually did proper research. Townships and informal settlements are majority inhabited by black residents. So I don’t know why you stated in your original comment that:
When the video you posted as evidence of this shows black people living in those conditions, not white people. The white people shown in that video lived in farm houses or small towns, as the focus of that video was on rural security and farm murders. Again, I am not denying that violent crime is a huge issue. But the claims you have made don’t even line up with your own source.
I said this was just a tiny bit of evidence, if you need more go look for it. Also I have no doubt that there are areas of South Africa where whites are likely the wealthy and dominant race, my point is just that there is indeed areas of South Africa where whites are indeed heavily persecuted and even killed just for being white. And yes I understand the irony that if wasn’t long ago in South Africa where blacks were by far the ones who were being racially persecuted by whites, doesn’t make it justified now that it’s being reversed.
Are you a bot
But you still can’t provide any evidence that white people are systemically oppressed in South Africa? As the comment you’re replying to says, most white people in SA live in formal housing in suburbs. They still actually have the property, land, and wealth passed down from colonization and apartheid. Their government isn’t really even challenging that, they still facilitate the exploitation of the black population, especially those far away from urban centers who work in mining and farming (as in the farmworkers, not farmers). If the white farmers themselves weren’t being attacked, most of us probably would’ve never heard about the inequality that still exists.
Just to make my point clearer, in Zimbabwe they actually took the land away from the Rhodesian settlers and gave it to revolutionaries, and even that wasn’t genocide per se.
Are you a liar, or are you just an idiot?
why not both?
