New initiative to tackle ‘race hustlers’, and the myth that racism is a major problem in SA
A new initiative has been launched to expose the myth that racism is a major problem in South Africa, and to counter race hustlers, politicians and private actors who exploit and profit from exaggerated claims about racism.
The Racism Is Not the Problem initiative will be announcing a list of individuals who do more harm than good to race relations through their unsubstantiated insistence that racism is the biggest problem South Africa is facing.
The initiative will expose how these race hustlers use fake allegations of racism as a distraction from the major problems confronting the country, or to make a quick buck.
The initiative is based on survey data (https://irr.org.za/reports/atLiberty/liberty-critical-race-theory-race-based-policy-a-threat-to-liberal-democracy) showing that, while South Africans do not regard racism as a major problem, and very few experience racism in their daily lives, politicians and race hustlers inflate the issue of racism for their own benefit.
The survey clearly shows that racism is not a major problem in South Africa
