Radical South African politician Julius Malema confirmed President Donald Trumps concerns Thursday, declaring defiantly that the point of the countrys proposed new expropriation without compensation policy would be to take land from white farmers.
Through land expropriation, we are forcing white people to share the land which was gained through a crime against the humanity of black and African people, Malema said in a press conference, referring to the racist land policies of colonialism and apartheid.

For example How The Left Keeps Minorities Dependent.
Or "Democracy" In The Third World.
My 600+ page novel also deals with various aspects of the same socio/political dynamics.
Didnt mean anything against you. My apologies if it came across personal. I just dont trust the left, thats it. Whenever theyre involved in any kind of race issue, the real story is going to be somewhere buried in their lies, their cowardice and their stupidity.
