I suppose it'll be good for South Africa to get rid of these racist scumbags.

But they're not going to be good for the US at all. We've got more than enough racist scumbags already.

FYI:April 27, 1994
Three decades ago, on April 27, 1994, after centuries of white rule, Black South Africans voted in general elections for the first time. This marked the official end of apartheid rule, cemented days later when Nelson Mandela was sworn in as the country's first Black president.

Maybe you should educate yourself before making assumptions. The Afrikaners, and Anglophones are fleeing from there because not safe for them nowadays.

Refugees, eh?
-got a US sponsor to support each person, including children, while they look for jobs and housing?
-no one should expect these moochers to get Medicaid--right?
-everyone must speak English, with no accents allowed
-I hope every one of these beggars has a college degree and marketable skills
-don't forget that $1,000 fee, payable upon entry
-no non-Christians allowed, and also disallowed will be anyone with a firearm or a criminal record
-each person must check in at their local ICE office weekly, bringing with them bank statements and records of searching for work
-those not complying will be sent to El Salvador

While you're here, enjoy your stay in Mississippi!

My, my, how the turns table!

Cry me a freekin river.

This is only happening because Reichsleiter Musk whined to Trump about it. And because they're white.

Send 'em to England don't send 'em here. We're already full of racist turds.

Yet we do not want to provide asylum to people from El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and Venezuela who are fleeing civil wars and paramilitary terror militias? Our hypocrisy and racism could not be more fully on display.

That's always been the case. Hell some whites weren't white enough for full acceptance. Irish Italians the Poles to name a few.

It's always funny reading the negative comments. I'd venture a guess each person bitching is white and each hates themself for it but engages in white savior activities in real life while privately being a racist themselves.

Blatant white 'supremacy' in action

Remember when Republicans and the right-wing media attacked Biden for flying immigrants into the US. The claim was that Biden did this in the middle of the night to try and hide what was happening. Of course, Trump would never try to hide these flights bringing in White South African 'refugees'. No, he would do it out in the bright light of day, so as to rub it in the faces of everyone, showing them what he can get away with, to say nothing of trying to ingratiate himself with the far-right/White nationalist crowd.

And, taking a different view ...

What might be your opinion about forcing Afghanistan citizens back to Afghanistan? (as Pres trump's new EO states)

The Afghanistan citizens who provided essential assistance to US military soldiers back in the day.

Why accept as immigrants the White South Africans, and actively kick out the Afghans who helped our troops?

Horrendous stories of militia groups via helicopters invading white owned farmsteads and other white controlled rural locations are plentiful. The use of mass gang rape of Afrikaneer women in front of their families, and murder of all the men used to be fairly easy to find on the internet a decade ago.

The point is, I do not doubt the persecution that many Afrikaneer families have faced. Just as I do not doubt the persecution many South African indigenous people face. Or El Salvadoran, Honduran and Guatemalan indigenous people face. It just offends me that seemingly the ONLY group Trump and MAGA are interested in 'rescuing', are well-to-do Afrikaneer plantation and mine owners.

Agreement.


The question is ... why rescue only that particular group?
