Boers Playing Victim To Protect White Privilege

Naledi Mfoloe reports on a group of white South Africans, mainly Afrikaaners who recently protested outside the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria claiming victimhood and voicing support for Donald Trump. They argue that the South African government’s land expropriation laws are discriminatory and violate human rights. But here’s the issue—these laws are intended to correct the historical injustices of apartheid and colonialism. How can a group that benefited from privilege now claim to be victims?
