Tbh, whenever I think americas racism is bad…I think of most European countries and they deadass have us beat/are worse…sh*t is so bad there too. It’s bad here, but it’s REALLY bad there

This comment section is embarrassing and pathetic Imao especially 5, 17, and 18

Relative to the racial diversity here (highest in the world) we are absolutely the least racist country. Like this can be easily statistically modeled

Anonymous 6w

there are far worse places to live as a POC than the US y’all can’t be fr😭 nowhere is perfect but go anywhere that isn’t as racially diverse as it is here and you’ll find genuine outright loud racism

Anonymous 6w

For the most part it’s not. There’s a very tiny number of people who are white that think they’re superior and are actually racist and like half the black people who are racist. So like maybe 7% of the population

Okay but the video that is from was insane

It’s amazing to me people can honestly think this. Like what are you telling yourself is happening exactly idgi

So the comment citing overused statistics that ignore convictions and exonerations is deleted not long after me and other people provide evidence as to why the commenter is wrong. Classic. 🙄

If you traveled internationally, especially to non 1st world countries, you’d know they’re right in comparison to everywhere else.

Literally yes and also to be a POC in Italy or Poland Russia etc, like people murder people for being a diff skin color in other countries it’s still very real. America is a shitshow, horrible bad, fucked beyond belief, but there’s shit that just never gets documented or made to be headlines there..it’s really really horrible

Are you claiming that the vast majority of white South Africans are living in the slums & treated as second class citizens? Or did you see a video that was trying to create a narrative & showed you a few poor white ones so you would attribute it to all or at least the vast majority of white South Africans?

It’s a bit odd when there is policy that is forcing the selling of farmland owned by white farmers, and yes I have seen videos of a community of Afrikaners who live in poor conditions and are treated extremely poorly. They are the minority population, so it’s not like they could do anything about it on their own.

They’re legit trying to claim that most white people aren’t racist but half of all black people are 😵‍💫 on top of that they tried to claim that the “real racism” is the racism that white South Africans face in post apartheid South Africa 🥴🥴

I think there is a clear distinction between accusations of racism that can be found within explicit or implicit text of a policy or rule of law, and an accusation of racism that is proposed to be found in the immeasurable distance between a man’s decision and his inner workings.

Hey #5 I’m sure you were told that, but that’s a fuckin lie lmao as a white person who has been to South Africa to visit my white South African friend.

Oh my god bruh that one YouTube video lmao. I’ve been to South Africa. You know who lives in the slums? Overwhelmingly black people. The whiten people live in walled wealthier suburbs with electrified fences. A YouTuber found the one slum of poor white people and y’all think that’s everyone? White people are the richest ethnicity in the country.

Please use your head & think this through. They have their farms due to apartheid & they aren’t forced to sell either but the government does offer them above market value for their farms if they choose to take it. Also most white South Africans aren’t living in poverty they are literally one of the richest groups in South Africa currently. So saw a video that was made with the intention of creating a narrative & you feel for it

The farm policy is land redistribution, because the overwhelming majority of good farmland in the country is owned by white people whose ancestors got it when the apartheid and colonial governments forcibly expelled the black people living there. Do you think the proposed plan to give slaves plantation land after the civil war land was ethnic cleansing too?

So you can find even one example of an Afrikaner neighborhood that is not being attacked or threatened by either the majority population or government policy and is not a slum?

If they are there because they are government appointed to retain control over all of South Africa then they would be an assistant to what was being removed in the first place and absolutely go, but I think it becomes a dilemma when choosing to remove someone who came out of the opportunity, who has land, and is now being asked to relocate that livelihood, as if a farm can’t already help the community by the reap of its sow.

The civil war one is funny though. Why didn’t they just let the plantations run out of business and sell off the natural way?

Idk what you’re trying to say? Most of the people killed & farms attacked in South Africa are black so idk why you’re trying to make it sound like a white only problem. Plus the government is offering white farmers above market value for the farms they got due to apartheid & not forcing them to take the deal instead of just taking them away. So I’m confused on what your issue is. All the afrikaners I know personally are white & currently live in South Africa. I can assure you whatever YouTube

Yes??? I’ve stayed in them they have pickleball courts lol. You saw a video of what might legitimately be the only white slum in the entire country and decided that represents the whole nation? Despite statistics on wealth by race being easily available and showing white South Africans are way wealthier.

They didn’t redistribute the plantation land. Thats why sharecropping developed and black people continue to live in disproportionate poverty in the south to this day. The plantation owners simply switched to paying black people nearly nothing and passed laws criminalizing black people not working on the plantations.

Look South African history is one of the things I know an ungodly amount about. Apologies for blowing up your comments, I can stop if you wish. But like this is one of those things I am way too informed on so I jump at the opportunity to use that.

People in this country still get murdered because of the color of their skin too. And we also have a unique way of delivering that as a country through our unjust conviction rate of black men thrust on to death row.

especially now being roughly 4 generations removed from actual segregation, things are REALLY good compared to what even my grandparents would have heard from their parents growing up. not to say there aren’t regional holdouts, but growing up in the midwest I personally was never exposed to racist ideals and was taught to treat everyone with respect
