Jasmine, this is an insightful and powerful article that cuts through the misrepresentation of Afrikaner victimhood. You highlight how the narrative of "white genocide" is not only misleading but deeply harmful to the real conversations we need to have around justice, land reform, and reparations in South Africa. Your emphasis on reparations as repair rather than punishment is key, reminding us that addressing historical injustices isn’t about erasure, but healing and rectification. I especially appreciate how you challenge the weaponization of white victimhood to deflect from necessary global reckonings with colonialism and systemic inequity. Brilliantly done.
