RICK STENGEL: Yes, it’s so deeply and morally wrongheaded and repulsive. These are the descendants of the people who created the most diabolical system of white supremacy in human history—apartheid. They’re not directly responsible for it, but it was a system that actually moved Black people off the arable land. They inherited the land that the Black people had to give up. It was called forced removal. It was something called the Bantustan policy, where they moved Black people out of the cities and farmlands into these remote areas with non-arable land. It was just one of the worst processes ever.
But what has happened in this strange, bizarre world we’re living in is that the Afrikaners have become the darling of these right-wing white supremacist movements around the world. It’s like the lost cause for them—it’s like the old Confederacy. They’re held up as these white Christians who are being dispossessed of their land. It’s like this is a modern replacement theory in a country where, by the way, white people make up 7% of the population and own 78% of the farmland.
