U.S.-funded flight carrying nearly 50 white South Africans departed Johannesburg on Sunday, marking the first group of Afrikaners granted refugee status under a new policy from President Trump. The group says they've faced violence and economic exclusion due to their race, and their expedited relocation to the U.S. is drawing sharp criticism from humanitarian groups and South African officials. Trump created a fast-track refugee process specifically for Afrikaners. The new program contrasts with cuts to refugee admissions from war-torn nations. More than 8,000 white South Africans have inquired about applying.

Trump rolls out the red carpet for white-skinned refugees. Black or brown refugees need not apply.

I read that the Afrikaners will have citizenship status already. Trump doesn’t like the “killing.” There are people dying all over the world, but they have decent tans…..

Trump doesn't realize that this is all going to catch up with him in the midterms. He is being so blatantly racist that even those minorities who voted for him will wake up.

If we wonder why the US is being beaten out by China and Russia in procuring natural resources from Africa in the coming years, we'll know why.

As it turns out, shithole countries actually have the stuff that makes civilization run.

"The stated reasons for [Trump's actions] are claims of victimisation, violence and hateful rhetoric against white people in South Africa along with legislation providing for the expropriation of land without compensation," read the letter from white South African religious leaders, which included among its four authors an Anglican priest. "As white South Africans in active leadership within the Christian community, representing diverse political and theological perspectives, we unanimously reject these claims."

We do know that people seek refuge from life and death situations. They don't eat cats and dogs, but they are brown.
