CMV: South African farm murders are racial attacks.

Had a debate with a relative who told me that they're not.

For some explanation (other than what Google can offer): some Africans in SA say the farmers' land belongs to them. I have no idea if it actually does. But there are hundreds of brutal farm attacks and murders, and this happens daily. Sometimes nothing is stolen, it's just brutal murder.

I'll add that from what I have seen, farmers being murdered are white people, I genuinely do not know if other races are targeted too. 

There is also a song by a well known political party called "Kill the Boer (farmer)". 

So my relative says they are not racially motivated, and I disagree. 

I looove a good debate, and I'd enjoy hearing some different viewpoints!

There are basically no farmers that are not white, so it would be impossible for farm attacks to not appear racially based.

The problem is that because of the way South Africa is (I live here) anything that can be attributed to race can just as easily be attributed to class.
