Well I'm proud of my country and continent and think I'm african but what do you think?
I'm just curious to know how safe it would be to travel around the Eastern part of Zimbabwe, specifically the area around Mutare and places like Nyanga National Park. I've always found the North Eastern part of South Africa extremely beautiful but nothing seems to compare to the raw beauty that the Highlands of Zim seem to offer. Any advice or tips would be appreciated 😃
Anyone here remember just a few years ago someone in Trump's cabinet said publicly that there was a genocide against white people in South Africa? I wonder how big is that myth to American racists? I mean, you can still find them muttering about Rhodesia sometimes.
History really is cyclical, isn't it? During the Reconstruction, white Southerners spread so many outrageous lies about black people that it became impossible to track all of them. I hope that black South Africans will be able to drag all of these arseholes out for punishment.
Everything on the Internet sucks for me. When I say I'm South African people assume I'm black, which I'm not, and throw racist remarks towards me even though I'm white. I can sympathise with the black people of the Internet and I'm so so sorry.
The weirdest part though is that a lot of people ask me for an n-word pass which is strange.
It's the weirdest experience to have racism target towards me even though I'm not the race that it's targeted to.
To everyone that doesn't know: South Africa is nicknamed the rainbow nation because we are the most culturally diverse country. So everyone please stop assuming that South Africa only has black people.

Edit: Haupt was "coloured" not "black", a very important difference explained in an answer by u/khosikulu below
I found very little information on the Clive Haupt, only that he was a 24 year old "a coloured man who had collapsed on a Cape Town beach the day before" according to Wikipedia. According to this stub from the History Engine of University of Richmond he Blaiberg was buried in an all white cementary and this was according to this site a " cause of celebration because it was illegal for “coloreds” to be buried in the same cemeteries as whites " The Wiki also says "That the identity of the heart donor had been released led to much heated controversy in South Africa."
This is understandable of course, but what I'm wondering is if there wasn't much more controversy about the ethics of the obvious use of racial power at play here, where a black mans body was used without consent (I would assume so at least, considering it's Apartheid) to extend the life of a white man. So how did people react to this? Was it seen as "noble" or as a humiliation? Or as something else completely? Would it later "normal" for black peoples bodies to be used as organ donors for whites in South Africa? Was there awareness of this practice and was it really a "cause of celebration" or was there also (black) resistance to this?
I'm just curious to know how safe it would be to travel around the Eastern part of Zimbabwe, specifically the area around Mutare and places like Nyanga National Park. I've always found the North Eastern part of South Africa extremely beautiful but nothing seems to compare to the raw beauty that the Highlands of Zim seem to offer. Thanks in advance.
