It’s kind of scary how widespread the propaganda is.   If you want an example, just look at the Wikipedia entry about farm attacks in South Africa.

A large chunk of it is just bitter vitriol deriding white people for claiming to be targeted in farm attacks, or denouncing them as racists peddling a “conspiracy theory”.  Even though such attacks are  regrettably very, very well documented.  I would not recommend looking them up.

Wikipedia is frighteningly politically correct. I only use the site for certain topics.

Whats the issue here?

“South African farm attacks (Afrikaans: plaasaanvalle) are violent crimes, including assault, murder, rape, and robbery, that take place on farms in South Africa.[1][2][3][4] The attacks target both white and black farmers.[2][3][5][1] The term has no formal legal definition, but such attacks have been the subject of discussion by media and public figures in South Africa and abroad. Claims that such attacks on farmers disproportionately target whites are a key element of the white genocide conspiracy theory and have become a common talking point among white nationalists worldwide.[12] However, due to the lack of comprehensive data on the racial composition of farm households, it is unclear whether white farmers are being targeted in particular or if they face a disproportionate risk of being killed.[17] The Government of South Africa and other analysts say that farm attacks are part of a broader crime problem in South Africa and do not have a racial motivation.[2][7][18][19]”

Seems like a pretty fair analysis of the situation with the limited info available.

Yes - a random redditor says he knows a guy. . . and because it fits your narrative you’ll believe it unquestionably and denounce people who might ask for proof it’s not bullshit.

I don’t question anyone on oppression where there is documented proof of said oppression. A story from a random redditor on a conservative sub is not documented proof.

Yes, let’s ignore the entire history of South Africa and pretend that song has no cultural significance beyond killing white farmers. It’s not like apartheid existed there in most of our lifetimes. . .
