This article is some white nationalist BS. I read it because I’m interested in South Africa’s past, present and future, without knowing anything about the publication or author. In case you don’t make it to the end (and it’s really not worth your time), it essentially makes the point of “Apartheid wasn’t all that bad, and South Africa would be better off if it was still a segregated society with separate areas ruled by whites and blacks.” No, really. Then it delves into trying to make an equivalency between the fact that the United States has laws which limit immigration and apartheid. Aka, “We’re no better than white South Africans because we don’t let everyone who wants to come into this country.” It then leans heavily into the white-nationalist Great Replacement Theory conspiracy, and tries to paint Black Lives Matter as an attempt not at, you know, getting police to kill fewer black people, but to somehow discredit the political perspective and power of all white Americans. The _Claremont Review of Books_ looks and sounds like a respectable publication, but it’s clearly not. And no-one should take them or this author seriously. This seems like an attempt to give an air of credibility to a deeply racist and inauthentic worldview that we’d all be better off leaving in the past with Apartheid and the klan.
