The Left Indulges Anti-White Racism In South Africa Because They Want The Same Thing Here
If you want to understand where the left’s obsession with racial “equity” and “reparations” leads to, look no further than South Africa — where white farmers are allegedly being murdered and face discrimination for the crime of being white. But good luck finding honest coverage of what’s transpiring there in the corporate media, which are hellbent on covering up or dismissing the reality so that Americans don’t begin to question the real goal of the left’s racial resentment agenda.
A new law in South Africa means white farmers could have their land taken away without being paid for it. As I previously reported, “Though framed as a correction to apartheid-era injustice, the law has created an environment where racially motivated persecution may become institutionalized.”
Meanwhile, murders are commonplace, with white farmers having allegedly been targeted.
The murders are not random — they are part of a growing pattern of violence toward Afrikaners that South African officials don’t want to acknowledge and that Western media outlets actively work to obscure.
If you read the coverage from the propaganda press, you’d think the claims of genocide or state-sanctioned land theft were “unfounded,” according to PolitiFact’s Amy Sherman.
Writing for Vox, Nicole Narea dismisses the notion that white South Africans could qualify for asylum, claiming such arguments “ignores the history of apartheid” — as if historical injustices justify racial persecution today.
PBS News dismissed the increase in murders, saying in a post on X: “White farmers have been murdered in South Africa. But those murders account for less than 1% of the more than 27,000 annual murders nationwide.” According to PBS News, since “experts” said the deaths “do not amount to genocide,” it must not be genocide.
The reason this narrative is being peddled is because to acknowledge the real-life consequences of weaponized racial grievances would be to admit the left’s entire “equity” project is built on dangerous lies — that justice can be achieved through reverse-discrimination. It would mean that acknowledging that resentment, once legitimized and institutionalized, leads not to reconciliation, but bloodshed and chaos.
That’s why the media defends the South African government and buries the truth about violence: because South Africa is the prototype. What’s being done to white South Africans is the logical endgame of the left’s racial ideology. It’s what happens when equality under the law is replaced with equity enforced by the state.
This isn’t just confined to South Africa. In the United States, the signs are already here. Standardized testing is racist, DEI mandates are moral imperatives, and white Americans owe a perpetual debt to society. Reparation proposals are gaining traction.
The American left may not openly be calling for land seizures (yet), but the ideological foundation is the same: a moral justification for systemic discrimination. Which is why the mainstream left-wing media cannot report the truth about South Africa, because to do so would expose the inevitable consequences of this worldview.
