Media Matters Slams ‘Far-Right’ Journalists For Covering Anti-White Racism In South Africa

Covering the growing epidemic of anti-white racism in South Africa is racist, so says David Brock’s Media Matters.
“Far-right activists and trolls have seized on proposals to expropriate land from South Africa’s white minority (including Dutch-descended ‘Afrikaners’ and other people of European descent) to advance a myth of so-called white genocide,” Media Matters tweeted on Tuesday.
They linked to an article titled, “Far-right activists are teaming up with South African white supremacists,” which shows an illustration of Lauren Southern and Katie Hopkins.

As they were busy writing this piece, the leader of South Africa’s Economic Freedom Fighters, Julius Malema, was giving a speech about how his party is “cutting the throat of whiteness.”

Judging by the responses to Media Matter’s tweet, their article isn’t going over very well.
IÕm confused lol
Not wanting to be: killed, raped, homeless etc is a bad thing?

According to Media Matters… yes, yes, it is.
welcome to the far right my friend

Calling journalists and White South African advocates evil racists because theyÕre spreading awareness about the fact that White South Africans are being disenfranchised and murdered. Is this the hill you shit libs want to die on?

White #SouthAfrican farmers have been fearing for their lives for 24 years! Not happening to just 1 family occasionally these atrocities happen almost daily for all of these years!”

If forcefully removing people off of their private land/property, killing, and torturing them (either through complicit non-action or the funding/co-operation of it) isn’t genocide I’d ponder as to what you’d consider to be genocide. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

So can we take this as a MMFA endorsement of SAÕs racial land expropriation and farm murders?
— Ian Mason (@IP_Mason) March 6, 2018
There’s no way to spin this other than an endorsement of EFF communist leader Julius Malema and his plan to “cut the throat of whiteness.” Malema was the driving force behind the push for land expropriation.
IÕm sure you meant to write ÒIndependent journalists are exposing anti-white inspired murders and discrimination in South Africa.Ó Happens to the best of us.

Reported. This is a racial attack.

People are being tortured to death and you’re worried about their politics? Stay classy

The idea that people donÕt want to be murdered for their skin tone makes them a racial suprematist is insane

This guy nailed it:
