Unfortunately, racism is still rife in this world. The shameful amount of ignorant beings on this planet who are unable to register that underneath our skin we're all the same is truly shocking, and so awful things like this keep happening.
A video of a white South African landowner forcing a terrified black man into a coffin and threatening to set the box alight has gone viral. In the footage the white man, believed to be a farmer, uses a part of the wooden coffin to force the poor man's head down as he cries.
Whoever is behind the camera suggests throwing a snake into the casket with the victim, as well as shouting in Afrikaans and Zulu, the latter a language mainly spoken by black South Africans.

It's being reported that the clearly younger black man was being treated the way he was because the farmer suspected he'd been up to some kind of criminal activity on his land.
While the majority of people are condemning the actions of the attacker, unfortunately there are people who believe the 'punishment' is justified.
In South Africa, racism-related complaints are allegedly at their highest point for 20 years.
The governing party from 1948 to 1994 in South Africa was the National Party (NP), which put a racial segregation in place, known as apartheid. Over the past two decades it has been abolished, yet it's an awful shame that things like this still happen.
