The Trump administration’s support for these claims, while stopping other new refugee arrivals, has inflamed uncomfortable conversations about how far racial reconciliation still has to go, three decades after the end of white minority rule.
The US president’s offer was a “godsend”, said Kyle, now a salesman working remotely for an overseas company: “I’ve got white children, they’re at the bottom of the hiring list here. So, there is no future for them. And the sad thing is they don’t even know what apartheid is.”
White Afrikaner governments racially segregated every aspect of life from relationships to where people were allowed to live during apartheid, repressing South Africa’s Black majority while keeping the white minority safe and much better off.
South Africa remains deeply unequal, more than 30 years since the system ended. The black South African unemployment rate is 46.1%, for example, compared with 9.2% for white people.
USA can take all the racists and the rest of us will take the American refugees. Then we can finish the wall from the outside.
How come they say Afrikaners instead of Africans?
Dang, they really wanted to separate themselves from the people they were colonizing.
They kept themselves apart, in their own hood.
White pride?
Because it has a very specific meaning.
Why would I want these ultra racist slavers to come here when the economy is tanking so they can buy up shit cheap?

Since you asked and now that I think about it, with educated and more open-minded Americans emigrating, I think Afrikaners will take their place instead…
I know what they’re going to do I’m asking why would I want them?
Because that’s what amerikkka is all about.
You think these losers are going to be buying anything ?
We have these arseholes in Australia and they are barely capable of cleaning bogs.
We already have one in the US that is doing just that
We have got to revoke their refugee status after this administration. This isn’t remotely valid claims.
If there even is an “after this administration”, that is. I have my doubts tbh…
There always is. Everything in life is only temporary …
https://erinfongstudio.com/products/free-digital-download-of-the-fight-fascism-zine or “40 ways to fight fascism” or “don’t just do nothing” are good zines about how we can ensure there isan “after this administration”
I’ll check out the link when I have downtime. Thanks for sharing and stay strong, friend!
You still have to give all your info to download the free zine
You have to give info, it doesn’t have to be yours.
That’s why I included other options :) but +1 to fake info idea
Nothing lasts forever.
“Changes aren’t permanent, though change is”
I suspect that Trump offering asylum to Afrikaners has more to do with USA being pissed at SA for the Gaza case than him thinking there is a “South African Genocide”. He’s just trying to stir the pot but generally South Africans don’t take this seriously. Some people on here though…
It’s a way of getting more fascists into the country.
It has added some new jokes at the braai. Also spawned arguments about who wants Elon the least.
Nice to see a fellow SAn here.
Fuck me I don’t want these fuckers here.
When a major political party has rallies with chants such as “shoot to kill, kill the Boer, kill the farmer”…
I’d say refugee status is appropriate.
You take them then. They are absolute pigs.
There aren’t white farm workers in South Africa. Only black Africans are doing farm labor. So who is the ‘white farmer’? What does it mean? It’s the farm owner who gets all the product of the African farm labor and gives next to none of it to the farm laborers. Don’t try and condemn something you don’t understand.
A major political party with thousands of followers threatening to kill you is pretty simple understand.
Owen Wilson is looking rough these days.
We don’t need more Nazis
they are orange
Trump’s main minion Elon is behind these whispers into Trump’s ear about his bringing over his “ilk”.
also to whisper you pooped yourself again.
Any bets on how quickly these folks are fast tracked to Green Card status?
Knowing him he’ll probably allow them to get on that “Gold Card” track without the money as a show of “combating the horrible racial injustice” in South Africa.
Every accusation is a confession after all. So it would be very on brand for them to fast track granting these people status that allows them to vote so now they’ll be the ones with the “millions of illegals voting” for them.
Non-whites have 4x the employment rate and whites are whining about not being on hiring lists? And are they aware that Trump was partially elected because of people here not wanting them competing for same jobs?
What a mess we’ve made of our species
I am not defending it but their population metrics are crazy. They have 80% black africans from different tribes. While white people account for only 7.3% of the population. It seems more like a failure of their government than the fault of any particular race here.

What are you suggesting is a crazy metric?
What do you see as a failure? Specifically, what are you not defending?
I’m not sure what correlation is obvious, but I’m missing it.
Is there a slur for white South Africans or do I need to make one?
Die Antwoord.

“I’ve got white children, they’re at the bottom of the hiring list here. So, there is no future for them. And the sad thing is they don’t even know what apartheid is.”
Maybe you should educate them about history and then there can be a move towards reconciliation that’s helps reduce racial violence?
