3. 'South African courts dismiss 'white genocide' myth'
Tue May 13, 2025, 01:00 PM

"According to some supremacist groups, white farmers are being murdered at higher rates than the rest of the population. This claim, however, is contradicted by the facts and by a new ruling handed down in February."

"The phrase might have gone unnoticed if it hadn't shattered a concept closely tied to the White House's recent attacks on South Africa. In a ruling handed down in mid-February, a South African magistrate described the notion of 'white genocide' in the country as 'clearly imagined.' Used by certain supremacist groups, the expression refers to the idea that white farmers are disproportionately victims of violent murders compared to the rest of the South African population. It's a claim that has been debunked countless times but is once again making headlines."

Trump repeated this nonsense all during the 2024 campaign to make Elon happy. It plays well to his MAGA white supremacist Nazis.
