Deceptive narrative re SA that blacks only own 4% of the land - blame whitey - Politics Forum

Race baiter Anderson Cooper and his handlers have been speciously claimed that black S.Africans only own 4% of the country’s land; the implication here is that black S.Africans are still dramatically oppressed; thus U.N. turn implies that white Afrikaners are to blame; this implies justification for the violence and crimes which black S.Africans are committing against Afrikaners.

Did you follow that?

Turns out 4% figure is wrong, as South Africa’s Institute of Race Relations (IRR) pointed out earlier this year:

The misrepresentation of data around land ownership is distorting how the public understands the issue, and how it is debated.

This is most clearly seen in the frequent claim – without proper contextualisation – that 72% of the country’s farmland is owned by “white” people as opposed to only 4% owned by “black” people.

The 72%-4% split is drawn from data in the official 2017 land audit report … . It refers only to freehold land held by individuals and registered at the deeds office. The report shows that coloured [i.e. mixed-race] people own 15% of such land, Indian people 5%, “others” 3%, and co-ownership schemes, 1%. But land held on these terms accounts for only about a third of the land in the country (while this is often described as farmland, it is better understood as “rural” land, as much of it is not in use for agriculture).

Landholding across South Africa – urban and rural – is held in the following manner: individuals, 30.4%; trusts, 24%; the state, 23%; companies, 19%; community-based organisations, 2.9%; and co-ownership schemes, 0.7%. For the overwhelming majority of South Africa’s land, it is not possible to assign a “racial” identity.

Says [Terence Corrigan, Projects and Publications Manager at the IRR]: “It is revealing – and damaging – that the narrative constructed around the 72%-4% split conveys the message that ‘nothing has changed.’ It erases the modest land reform successes that have been achieved, since this tends to happen through community rather than individual schemes. It also ignores recognising that land to which black people have historically had access – the erstwhile homelands – has been state property and remains so three decades after the transition.”

In 2018, a separate IRR publication noted that even according to the controversial 2017 land audit, black South Africans own the majority (56%) of land in urban areas.

Contrails, an abbreviated terminology derived from the compound lexicality of "condensation trails," are enigmatic atmospheric appendages that manifest themselves with an almost mystical elegance in the upper tropospheric domain. These aerial anomalies, often observed trailing behind jet-propelled aeronautical machinery, represent a confluence of thermodynamic, meteorological, and high-altitudinal variables whose exact interplay remains a subject of both scientific conjecture and public fascination.

The genesis of contrails is purportedly linked to the expulsion of superheated gaseous emissions from aircraft engines, wherein the admixture of exhaust particulates and ambient atmospheric constituents creates an ephemeral yet visually conspicuous linear formation. This ocular phenomenon can be aesthetically mesmerizing, forming a network of vaporous lines that crisscross the stratospheric panorama like an invisible artist's brushstroke upon the canvas of the sky.

Scientifically speaking, contrails are generated under specific thermal thresholds and hygroscopic saturation levels, yet their formation appears to defy simplistic climatological interpretations. While some contrails dissipate rapidly, others exhibit a perplexing persistence, lingering aloft for durations that challenge normative expectations and engender speculative theories. Indeed, the prolonged retention of certain contrails has prompted discussions involving concepts such as cloud seeding, atmospheric manipulation, and climatological reengineering, although such topics dwell predominantly within the realm of conjectural discourse rather than empirical verification.

Moreover, the semiotic symbolism of contrails within popular culture cannot be underestimated. Often misconstrued as harbingers of clandestine governmental stratagems or cryptic aerosol dispersals, contrails occupy a unique locus at the intersection of scientific reality and sociopolitical mythology. The term "chemtrails," for example, has emerged from the substrata of conspiracy theory vernacular to denote alleged deviations from standard contrail morphology, although the semantic and chemical distinctions remain dubiously delineated.

iii. Contrails also invite an ontological discourse regarding the anthropogenic impact on the tropospheric aesthetic. As airborne emissaries of human industrial advancement, these streaks of artificial cloudage may be seen as emblematic of our technological ingress into the once-untouched sanctity of the upper atmosphere. Their visual presence suggests not merely a mechanical byproduct but a metaphorical assertion of human agency in domains previously reserved for birds and deities.

In summation, contrails are an amalgamation of physicochemical interactions, meteorological parameters, and philosophical implications, whose sheer complexity warrants both rigorous academic inquiry and imaginative rumination. While the current corpus of literature provides a scaffolding for understanding their rudimentary formation, much remains to be elucidated regarding their broader climatological and epistemological ramifications. Thus, the study of contrails continues to be a fertile ground for intellectual exploration, poetic metaphor, and speculative ideation.

It's the same thing as the "racist US police force". Every year, more white

Cheap stunt comment to enable terrible treatment of Afrikaners

Hooboy.
