While reading the news and posting it daily on Facebook, I couldn't help but notice that there are several racist Facebook pages dedicated to white South Africans. These pages have images of police beating Black people, along with jokes, news stories about crime in South Africa

There are 3 such pages that I know of that are dedicated to white South Africans. These pages are just as racist as the hatred that Elon Musk pushed on Twitter.

Elon Musk even took a recent trip to South Africa, it has left me wondering if perhaps he is thinking of returning to the country because racists would love to have him back.

I found a place where many MAGA supporters would try to relocate to if they could ever stomach being part of a white minority group. It would be Elon Musk and racist South Africans mixed with the MAGAets from the United States.

Facebook has a long history of allowing racists to run free on the platform, several people have proven this as a fact. Not to mention I've also done my own experiment and been banned from the platform for simply sharing a post that a racist posted. 

This is another example of how easily racists can get away with bashing Black people.

No matter where they're located around the world, social media platforms like Facebook will always allow them the opportunity to post hatred and get away with it. 

A BlackLivesMatter activist named Thedididelgado pointed out just how racist the owner and founder of Facebook is when she did her experiment with another white content creator & her white followers.

There have been several articles that outline the racist content, the fact that some people pretend that it doesn't exist is amazing. These South Africans aren't even indigenous to Africa, that isn't even the worst part, they think that South Africa belongs to them. 

Sounds oh so familiar, doesn't it?

This is the post that these comments are referring about, below!

The comments were just as racist as one could imagine, over 200 comments, all with the same hatred. They were also proclaiming how South Africa belonged to them. 

On another post they were telling Black South Africans to "get over" apartheid.

Ironically many of these group members use fake accounts in order to hide their real identities. The comments though, are mostly ignored the way these groups go on ignored, despite posting some of the most vile comments mocking everything that Black South Africans seem to do in the country.

Seemingly as if the white population of South Africa is perfect, this behavior is very much like that of racist white Americans.

There is no wonder that Black South Africans are some of the most xenophobic and hateful South Africans on social media these days. They continue to attack Nigerians as well as other Black Africans living in South Africa. Citizens from Zambia and Zimbabwe are often attacked with their hatred. 

Not to mention, many South Africans seem to hate African Americans, something they have in common with West Africans from Ghana and Nigeria.

I have a page on Quora where I post my articles from other platforms as well as news from around the African continent. Also if you gain a following from your account you can earn money for the content that you create on the platform. 

There was a question on the platform about Africans being former Kings and Queens. The person that posted the question was asking about Africans but they more than likely meant African Americans who were in the United States. This was something that a person from South Africa posted mocking African Americans and those enslaved, shipped to the Americas. 

This person could have been any race, it just shows how hateful some people in South Africa can be towards others.
