SAY SOMETHING REAL WITH MICHELLE BRYANT Feb. 10

Published | Video Starts at 1:39:06

The most important reason why I wanted to bring this up. So let me just say this just for some, some color. White people represent 7.2% of South Africa's population of 63 million people. Okay, They hold 70% of the land, but you only 7% of the country's population. Do you understand that? In 1950s, so before South Africa's independence, before, you know, black people get this thing flipped, it's British colonial rulers handed most farmland to white people. (1:39:06–1:39:17)

CLAIM

Asserts that white people hold 70% of South African land despite being 7% of the population.
