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.
Truth isn’t important to Americans
We all knew it was wasn't what he said it was but seeing it reported is nice.
as we say here in brazil, he lies so much that his btthle doesn't even feel it anymore.
They're basically confided to small areas that are nothing short of horrific conditions and are equally comparable to homeless encampments seen throughout the US and the whites living there dare not leave as they will absolutely be attacked and even killed if they step out of the tiny area they're all confided too.
That is straight up not true and spending five seconds on South African social media media would instantly disprove everything you say. The "small areas" you are talking about are gated communities and security estates where the rich (of all races, not just white people) live, they are in no way comparable to homeless encampments, and no one is confided to live there, it's a choice rich people make as it's safer and they have the money to do so. And people leave these gated off suburbs and security estates to go to work in fancy office buildings 5 days a week and party over the weekend, you don't get instantly murdered, this isn't a zombie apocalypse movie. Yes violent crime is a huge issue but the majority of people still go out and live their lives. I have no idea who told you this, but all I can say is that they were telling lies on the same level as saying that South Africans ride lions to school.
Also, you know who lives in tin shacks in worse than US homeless encampment conditions?. A large number of black people. Five million South Africans live in "informal settlements", and the vast majority of them are black.
In that YouTube video you posted, the people living in all tin shacks are those very same black people living in informal settlements I talked about in my previous paragraph, that is not how the vast majority of white people in South Africa live. You would know this if you actually did proper research. Townships and informal settlements are majority inhabited by black residents.
“It’s possible that’s not South African footage”
Did you check? Did you take the time to look?
"it's just sad that no one is ever willing to do a little bit of their own research so they can actually find the truth"
... Not sure if troll or stupid.
That whites in South Africa are heavily persecuted. They’re basically confided to small areas that are nothing short of horrific conditions and are equally comparable to homeless encampments
To anyone who has actually been to South Africa, this is so absurd it's hilarious. White still mostly live in wealthier areas than non-whites, and the actual encamp type places are 100% non-white. The idea that whites are "confined to small areas" is incredibly amusing, and I'd love you to try and actually say where those areas specifically are.
are you a fucking moron
