BBC Discovers 'Persecuted' White South Africans, Omits Apartheid
The BBC reports on 'divided' white South Africans considering Donald Trump's offer of refugee status, citing their perceived persecution. Farmer Marthinus claims, 'We are an endangered species.' This narrative surfaces without a single mention of the institutionalized racial oppression Afrikaners inflicted for generations under apartheid. The article frames current farm violence as a symmetrical
issue, stating 'black farmers are also being killed,' a false equivalence that ignores the historical dispossession tied to land ownership. One might wonder at the timing, given the West's sudden concern for 'persecuted' white minorities, contrasted with the deafening silence on the actual genocidal displacement of indigenous populations globally. It appears victimhood is highly selective,
especially when those claiming it once wielded absolute power. This is not about protection; it's about legitimizing a narrative that absolves historical perpetrators.
