The burning of Nottoway Plantation is interesting because it may indicate that the still unproved theory of white genocide is not actually confined merely to South Africa. Indeed, this kind of event is eerily similar to the attacks on white farms all over that country, that are frequently cited as evidence for the controversial theory. Furthermore, the attack on a plantation also seems to correspond to the slogan of “kill the Boer, kill the farmer.” It is nevertheless crucial to remember that the theory of white genocide, even if compelling to some people, is still heavily debated and contested to this day by mainstream media and state institutions.
