The image came from a video that showed humanitarian workers lifting body bags in the city of Goma in the Democratic Republic of #Congo. #Trump falsely presented the photo as evidence of mass killings of white South Africans.

    Reuters is full of shit as usual. It’s possible that’s not South African footage Trump featured but It’s just sad that no one is ever willing to ever do a little bit of their own research so they can actually find the truth and the reality that it is in fact true that whites in South Africa are heavily persecuted. They’re basically confided to small areas that are nothing short of horrific conditions and are equally comparable to homeless encampments seen throughout the US and the whites living there dare not leave as they will absolutely be attacked and even killed if they step out of the tiny area they’re all confided too.

    Here’s just a tiny bit of evidence to support the truth of what’s really happening in South Africa, and there’s far far more proof if you actually take the time to look…

      To anyone who has actually been to South Africa, this is so absurd it’s hilarious. White still mostly live in wealthier areas than non-whites, and the actual encamp type places are 100% non-white. The idea that whites are “confined to small areas” is incredibly amusing, and I’d love you to try and actually say where those areas specifically are.

      “It’s possible that’s not South African footage”

      Did you check? Did you take the time to look?
