Reports that US will accept White South African ‘refugees’ prompts concern in South Africa | DW News



South Africa says it is concerned about reports that the United States will begin taking in White South Africans, who claim they’re being racially discriminated against at home. South Africa says the claims are unfounded. The foreign ministry said, “It is most regrettable that it appears that the resettlement of South Africans to the United States under the guise of being ‘refugees’ is entirely politically motivated and designed to question South Africa’s constitutional democracy.”

  1. Modern implications:

    Legacy of inequality: The historical land dispossession continues to contribute to significant inequalities in land ownership in contemporary South Africa, with white South Africans still possessing a disproportionate amount of farming and agricultural land.

    Land redistribution: The South African government has implemented land redistribution programs to address this historical injustice, though these efforts have faced challenges and have sometimes been slow.

    Controversies and tensions: Land issues in South Africa remain a source of significant debate and tension, with ongoing discussions around land reform, expropriation without compensation in some circumstances, and the historical legacy of dispossession. 

    It is important to note that the term "land grabbing" in this context refers to the historical injustices and unequal power dynamics that led to the dispossession of land, rather than simply individual or legal land transactions. The issue is deeply intertwined with South Africa's history of colonialism, apartheid, and the ongoing struggle for social justice and equality.

  2. In this day and age of cellphone and recording every little detail of life, why isn't there widespread coverage of this so called genocide and land grabbing? You got tribal bushmen recording YouTube videos but nothing of this? please!

  3. Its all around the globe
    Everywhere
    Majority torture minority
    In many ways
    very very unfortunately
    But it happens
    In all country, in all continent
    one of the main problematic issue with human psyche
    Corrupt & negative politicians
    & religious leaders fueled
    This fire

  4. Who in the heck is this professor? He is wrong on just nearly every single point that he brings up. I've seen the video evidence and I've read the testimonies of people that have been attacked. You can't just wish it away

  5. yeah, I went to SA every year from 2000 to 2016. this "professor" is full of bs. land expropriation and racism (including horrible slaughtering) against whites are the truth. every year I saw a a downgrade in the country, infrastructure security etc, first gradually than exponentially.

  6. Probably a retributive narrative about S. Africa because they filed that gcide case against israel (the real gcide). No one believes their foolishness.

  7. At least they are not going around setting fires to cars and assaulting police officers in the city of Los Angeles and they are working real hard to earn their citizenship and they are not on the FBI's most wanted and they didn't sneak in the country and they asked permission to come here and it was the British who originally created the apartheid system before the turn of the century
