Trump says some white South Africans are oppressed and could be resettled in the US. They say no thanks
Groups representing some of South Africa’s white minority have responded to a plan by U.S. President Donald Trump to offer them refugee status and resettlement in the United States by saying: thanks, but no thanks.
Giving special consideration to a certain group he thinks may have experienced a disproportionate amount of hardship due to biological factors beyond their control?
Sounds like some woke DEI nonsense.
Wait, is he for or against migration? Pick a lane!
He is against non-whites. He's being perfectly consistent.
He and his other Evangelical Christofascists
Are they being oppressed in the same way white christians are oppressed in the US?
Yes, you're getting it. /s but also not /s
No, not the same thing More of a case of when white (usually) farmers are attacked the violence and cruelty is excessive compared to what you would expect from normal robberies. Technically its not political, but there is a lot of hate there. Think more along the lines of how racist white Americans sometimes treat those of darker skin tones. As with anything, your mileage may vary depending on where you are in the country. Individual circumstances vary. Those effected may be biased, but they are in a better position to describe their situation, assuming they survived. *edit: I should also mention that yes, it is mostly blown out of proportion. Media will do as media does. And of course there will always be those pushing agendas. South Africa does have a crime rate and perceptions are often skewed depending on upbringing ging and circumstances. Sorry I did not.make this clearer initially. Read surfer dudes reply, and also check context against online resources.
Dude, you don't know what you're talking about. So as a South African, let me help.
Yes, racially motivated attacks by white people against black people do happen. Yes, racially motivated attacks by black people against white people do happen. We have a very painful history, and some ass hats still either long for the "good old days" or still want retribution.
Farm murders are a symptom of farmers being isolated (far away from help given that they live on a farm), perceived owners of wealth, and sometimes viewed as treating their workers unfairly. Needless to say that when crime does occur (it is not as common as the media makes it out to be, and falls well under the statistical norms in South African context), it tends to be violent.
Crime is a problem that many south Africans face. Not just the white ones, or the farmers. In fact, you are more likely to be raped, robbed, murdered or some combination thereof in a rural or township setting than you are compared to being a farmer. Their workers are often times victims of more crime than they are given the massive poverty stricken nature of many of South Africa's lower class workers.
South Africa has a problem, but it's nothing like the blatant racism in the US. So here's the thing, if you don't know what you're talking about, shut the fuck up.
Musk, Sacks and Thiel all have South African roots. Broken fucking people from Nazi town looking for revenge on the world now that they made Paypal billions.
He means Musk, right? Because that isn’t true. He isn’t oppressed.
I'm sure he wants them to leave because Elon and Peter Thiel are planning some kind of revenge plot.
