[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3696663, member: 24302"] Since there are relatively few Black farmers in South Africa could you cite your source on how many have been killed? Quite a few White ones have been murdered. And if you know of similar injustices happening to Blacks by their governments around the world please let us know so that we can condemn it too. Since you're more aware, what other countries are confiscating land without compensation currently? If Black farmers had their land taken without compensation in, say, Mississippi because the majority White government wanted to give it to Whites who have no experience farming would that be ok to you? They're in the majority after all. This was done in Zimbabwe, taking from experienced White farmers and given to Blacks who didn't know how to farm. The country experienced hyperinflation, it's economy was ruined, there were food shortages, and they've yet to recover. It's not that Blacks can't farm but in regions where they have no experience running a farm or a business you're courting disaster. I hope down the road we don't have to discuss a huge tragedy in South Africa. [/QUOTE]
