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.
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?
We already have one in the US that is doing just that
Because that’s what amerikkka is all about.
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.
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.
If your children are old enough to work, and they don’t even know about your country’s most pressing issue that only ended like 30 years ago, then no wonder they’re at the bottom of the hiring list.
They’re ignorant fucks! Lol
I mean… he didn’t say they are at the bottom because they are white.
Maybe they are at the bottom of the list because they are dumb as rocks, and happen to be white. And he knows being dumb in America is no impediment, so he wants the asylum.
It’s absolutely implied by his phrasing, “I’ve got white children, they’re at the bottom of the hiring list here.”
This is explicitly stating that white children are at the bottom of the hiring list I’m the USA. The only identifier he gave of his children is that they’re white, and that is enough to put them at the bottom of the hiring list here.
I mean, that’s probably not what they’re implying.
I read that as “when my kids who have never experienced the reality of apartheid grow up, they will be discriminated against because they are white”
The article is FULL of little bits like that to make them sound like reasonable people just trying to live. Thankfully the article also provides contrary evidence: 9.2% unemployment rate.
Rich afrikaners who are upset apartheid is gone and they now have to be treated like normal people bitching about how they now have to actually earn jobs instead of being handed one for being white, and they still have the majority of jobs.
imo, you read that with a positive interpretation.
If they were saying that, they should’ve said that their kids “never experienced it” or “never participated in it” or “didn’t live through it”.
But instead, they said their kids “don’t know what apartheid is”.
If they misspoke, fine. But I don’t know with certainty that they meant what you said. I think they might’ve meant what they said.
“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?
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.
wierd how they dint try to expel all the whites from africa after it ended.
Zimbabwe did that and it crashed their economy. And all the land ended up in the hands of Mugabe’s cronies. The South Africans learned from that.
We don’t need more Nazis
Fuck me I don’t want these fuckers here.
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…
Nothing lasts forever.
“Changes aren’t permanent, though change is”
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”
You still have to give all your info to download the free zine
That’s why I included other options :) but +1 to fake info idea
You have to give info, it doesn’t have to be yours.
I’ll check out the link when I have downtime. Thanks for sharing and stay strong, friend!
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.
Who’s land will they be stealing? All the land in America is already stolen by other White people.

Is there a slur for white South Africans or do I need to make one?
Die Antwoord.
Zef
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.
Because it has a very specific meaning.
White pride?
