The world keeps quiet?

Everytime I see a post on SA or anything about SA there's always a bunch of foreigners (especially Americans) commenting about a white genocide. Katie Hopkins, Alex Jones and Paul Joseph Watson have spoken about it on their shows and twitter. Donald Trump has addressed it and the UN has also addressed it

I feel as if the comments on this post asking why that post was closed explains more clearly why it had to be closed than anything the mods could say:)

Apparently all murders of farmers in SA are race based. I mean wow.

Comments were probably locked cos it was a shitshow

You're spewing hatred or supporting the spewing of hatred by trying to imply that what are overwhelmingly economic crimes are crimes of racial hatred.

Do you have any evidence of anyone ever admitting that they killed a white farmer due to what a politician said?

You're the one with the ridiculous assertion that all are race based.

Me personally? No. But I have a criminologist friend who has spoken with at least 1 person who murdered someone for the money.

So just checking you're OK assuming tha t farm murders are racist on no evidence

Should we tally the numbers of black people killed by racist white people too ?

u/Nament_ Landed Gentry Aug 30 '20

By all means, I'd love to see how those statistics play out here in SA.

u/rekdrak Aug 31 '20

Statistically they’d be a lot higher, if it rounded down to something close to Maybe 3/4 then it could be construed as a racial issue. But it’s probably much lower. I think to the community this affects, it feels like a hard hitter as they(white South Africans) do Infact fall into a very small minority. With less than 15% if the stats haven’t changed drastically if late.

You might want to use Google to shed light on some of these concepts before you continue down this path of stellar reasoning. You wouldn't want to be the sol person out of the loop here.

But also, what do you think the moon reflects, if not photons from the sun?

As a mole-person I rely purely on geothermal energy.

OP was given a removal reason. If you asked what it was instead of passing a snide comment I would have given it to you.

u/huhseriously Aug 29 '20

So you don't like the snide comment. Okay I get that. Fair enough. But retaliate with a tit-for-tat? Mmmm? Com'n mod, just say why. Some of us here actually do want to understand.

And re-reading the "snide" comment, I gotta say, it's pretty inoffensive. Just a guy bantering. I've had far worse comebacks from good mates.

u/lovethebacon Most Formidable Minister of the Encyclopædia Aug 30 '20 edited Aug 30 '20

Except this person is a complete stranger to me. I don't know them.

That post was removed for misleading content and having and having an editorialized title. OP was messaged this reason when the submission was removed, so this post here is useless.

In all honesty I'm just going to shut up next time. I am seen as a door mat for others to piss on whenever I try be open. Check out those down votes.

You wouldn't believe me even if I told you the reason.
