The Bantus who are persecuting the Boers are not even indigenous to South Africa. They're from the Congo.
They migrated eastwards and southwards, genociding smaller tribes as they swept their way to the south. Finally they encountered Boers, and attempted to wipe them out too.
The only reason the Boers survived is because they fought to survive. And now the Bantus are trying once more to wipe them out, encouraged by their friends in the liberal media.
If the Bantus want Boers to go "back" to Europe, they should do the same and go "back" to the Congo.

She blocked me so I can't correct her - she's wrong about this.
White farmers don't own 70% of the land in South Africa, they own 70% of FARMLAND.
That's because they cultivated it into farmland with the sweat of their own brow - it wasn't "farmland" before they cultivated it.
Commies are now saying they want their "fair share" of farmland cultivated by the Boers.
South Africa is mostly arid land - the farms don't just magically spring out of the ground. Someone has to work hard for years to turn semi-arid land into productive farms.
Then along come the Bantus and say "we want our fair share of the fruits of your labor"
It was suspected that Dred Scott was a test case, like the Rosa Parks case, where activists prepare a set of facts to challenge a law they deem to be unconscionable.
The family that owned him, the Blow family, appear to have had abolitionist sympathies. They were his friends and supporters. So why didn't they just free him? That would have been the obvious thing to do. But they didn't just want to free him, they wanted to take down slavery.
There is no record of Scott ever having been sold by the Blow family to Dr Emerson. The "defense" did not challenge this, leading people to suspect they were colluding. It was suspected they claimed Scott was owned by the (dead) Dr Emerson so nobody would say "just free him."
I have the measure of these activists, they want slavery to be the always and forever topic. Whatever you say they respond with "but what about slavery?"
- South Carolinians are the truest Americans
- But what about slavery?
Yankees are brazenly blaming capitalism on the South. It's not a spoof, this is the actual NYT 1619 project.
America's slave traders were from New England and New York. New Yorkers illegally traded slaves until the 1860s, now they want to blame it all on the South.
Yankees brazenly erasing their own role from the historical record.
They're teaching that slaves freed themselves.
As for how slaves got to America in the first place, they use the passive voice: they "were brought", they "were traded" - they don't say it was done by Yankees!
You actually couldn't make it up, but they did. They're saying American capitalism was invented in Georgia and Alabama.
Poor, socialist New York, forced into a capitalist system against their will by Alabama and Georgia!
There's not much you can say when you're dealing with people who are this stupid and ignorant.
If you build anything they'll soon come along and ask why it was "distributed" to you and demand their fair share.
When the Boers arrived in 1652 the population of Africa was not what it is today - most of that land was uninhabited and the rest they bought over the centuries. Nobody "distributed" it to them. They worked for every last inch of that land.
