Someone should tell him that land distribution was part of the agreement that ended apartheid.

The dog whistles are sirens.

Here’s my piece on what I learned about ending institutional racism by studying South Africa: rewire.news/article/2018/0…
International outrage about a “genocide” against white farmers in South Africa ignores the data

Here is the history of land restitution. It’s literally in the constitution of South Africa. sahistory.org.za/article/land-r…
Whether or not it’s a good idea is a fair debate.

“Analysts say South Africa is unlikely to follow the route of Zimbabwe, where the chaotic and violent seizure of white-owned farms under former president Robert Mugabe triggered economic collapse.” reuters.com/article/us-saf…
This article explains how white supremacists (worldwide) are seizing on this debate for their own purpose by twisting facts and how “Afrikaner rights” groups are seizing on it to build international support: huffingtonpost.com/entry/ted-cruz…
It is fair for South Africans to debate land reform.

Genocide and violence is never okay and politicians who say it is are always wrong.

I believe the above articles address the critiques in my mentions.
Trump’s stance makes more sense when you realize it’s a conspiracy theory Tucker Carlson is obsessed with.
Some people have asked about compensation for land redistribution. The constitution requires it. The proposed amendment will change that.

Some are calling the proposed amendment an election gimmick to keep the ANC relevant as the EFF gains popularity.
