Murder, rape, violence of any kind, should be shunned as a political tool. I do not know if these numbers are correct, but whether the victims are white or black is irrelevant - these are human beings who were attacked by other human beings. The human race, everywhere, is at a tipping point. Visit Dayton (Ohio) some time ... Baltimore ... I've seen some of these places in the USA ... believe me, the violence has almost nothing to do with race and EVERYTHING to do with desperation and misery. Good luck to S. Africans of any skin color - good luck to us all. A very difficult time lay ahead.
