South Africa, ironically, still has racism, but now it’s blacks against blacks and against whites (farm killings). Is this better than Apartheid?

South Africa, like Zimbabwe was far better under white rule than it has been under black rule - murder rates have sky rocketed mainly black on black, poverty rates amongst both blacks and whites has increased and now we have this.

If you were a white person, sure.
All countries go through violent change in the aftermath of independence/revolution etc.
Mine own country was like that. The colonial masters telling us how much better we were under their rule and how we'd never make it.
The imperialists still try to dictate to us and our brothers and sisters around the world.

Racism is defined by the action, not the perpetrator. People can most definitely be racist against their own race if the actions are racist.

SA is never coming back, another 3rd mess. Sad.
So was my country until we got our independence and rose to become a superpower, shaking off the shackles of colonialism is a liberating thing.
Depends on the country.
