Trump orders 'study' of South African land seizures, alleged murders of white farmers

[jcpro]

Obviously, you do not know the full history of South Africa, past or present as it has nothing to do with British Socialism. I am not saying expropriation is right, but decades ago the Black Communities were ejected from their lands without any compensation, and these lands were taken over by the White Farmers. The Blacks were then employed at very low below poverty level wages. Two wrongs do not make a right, but a lot needs to be addressed, as the most affluent African nation has the largest unemployment level in Africa. Two decades have gone by and this imbalance cannot continue forever, as the level of crime will be the only means for survival for many of these individuals. Really, you have to travel there to see it for yourself rather than believe Trump and Carlson's versions.

"But" does not belong after "two wrongs do not make a right".

Just a second, the whites were appropriated in Zimbabwe without wholesale bloodshed. I don't support the appropriations for a number of reasons, but potential bloodshed is not one of those.

As well, my understanding is that only a few outlier extremists in the ANC are calling for expropriations at rallies. In no way is it government policy, unless things have changed in the last few weeks.

Not surprised you don't care for The Guardian. I would have thought the Daily Mail was your British newspaper of choice.

I don't read British press.

Trump sticking his nose where it is not needed does not make it any better, except spur up the racist alt right!!

I don't read British press because it's mostly irrelevant to the topic I'm interested in. I don't read the Times of Katmandu, either.

I grew up reading between the lines, reading prohibited books and listening to the Radio Free Europe. Is it ok if I go my own way?

Sure, I only made a recommendation.

PS: I also grew up reading a CIA publication my grandmother subscribed to. I have become a bit more skeptical with age.
