There are lots of disputes about South African crime stats, but the following seems clear: 1. Murders skyrocketed after apartheid ended in 1994, particularly black-on-white 2. Farm murders (rural home invasion murders, mostly white victims) are rare in the US but not rare in SA

3. Whites may in fact still be murdered at a lower rate than blacks. This is because the black-on-black murder rate is so high. 4. More whites have been killed by blacks since apartheid than blacks killed by whites during apartheid

5. Basically apartheid protected whites from a lot of murders and now that it's over whites are getting murdered a lot more.

What a stupid thing to say, Apartheid afforded white people with certain opportunities that are deliberately taken away from black people (including land) while systematically oppressing and killing blacks

Apartheid is the only way a majority black population can enjoy all the benefits of living in a first-world country. Throughout this time of "oppression" there was a constant stream of blacks trying to get INTO South Africa.

The assumption that black people were set out to murder white people from the get go and that apartheid was simply mechanism to prevent this, is just laughable

Actual crime and murder rates say otherwise
