Perfected by the study of soon to be returned Jim Crow that’s why they are needed and why Jim Crow history in museums and books is abolished because that’s what you do when you want to repeat history.

They did, clearly they have changed positions and while it shouldnt be forgotten, it should be noted that they have take. This stands and loudly. Im atheist myself but good on them for making this change. It doesn’t atone for their past.

They are farmers (useful people) that grow 95% of the food for South Africa ... we can always use more farmers and food here. Far better than gangbangers, drug smugglers, and human traffickers... js

Since general farmers only make $3.94 an hour in SA.. $5 would probably be a good start 🤦‍♂️ And roughly 39 million acres of crop farmland is not being utilized at the moment.

Trumps rhetoric & selective immigration policies signal white superiority & exclusion. Sympathy for white Afrikaners, & contrasted hostility toward immigrants of color, reflect patterns aligned with white nationalist ideology thats overtly stated & supported by evidence, policy patterns, & symbolism

6 months .. and we will see (and hear of) some returning .. 👀 no less with a loan repayment due… they got loans to “help” them settle .. To enter the USA as a “Refugee”” is no good way to relocate. Nothing is FREE in the USA. What is the Quid pro Quo here?

Wow. Reconsidering my decision to not attend Episcopal Church services. It is sad that they are terminating the relationship with the government though. Hopefully sanity will return to the country and they can be in service to those who truly need to be given refuge. EC- Thanks for standing up.

That's how sick, demented and deranged Klansman D'rump is And it is absolutely disgusting. I hope these fresh Nazi's just get tossed in the street with nothing. As they should be. Sorry this just burns me to my core Deported hard working contributing people, in exchange for more white criminals 🖕🍊🤡💩

There are thousands of Afghans trying to get into America, they worked with and fought side by side with the Americans and were promised they would be rehoused in the US after the withdrawal, they were lied to. But a few white South Africans get gold cards and free entry.

@monicapelger.bsky.social

I don’t want them here. But if you insist: let’s go all the way and send back all Americans to the countries they originally came from unless they’re Native Americans. Doesn’t matter if they’re scared because those AfriKKKaners aren’t scared either. They are just a bunch of pissed off racists.

Mat
@matlew1960lewis.bsky.social

And racist. A vast majority of South Africans are racist and long for the good old days of Apartheid, you only have to look at Musk and his mother, as racist as they come. They'll love living in the Southern states.

@martinrayner.bsky.social

Beyond disgusting the way the evil (a word not used lightly) Trump regime has/is treating Afghans who bravely fought with and supported Americans in their longest war. But ignorant, racist, bigoted, thick-witted MAGA droogs couldn’t give a damn. It’s truly enraging.

Mat
@matlew1960lewis.bsky.social

I agree, but the Senate Republicans stopped allowing the Allied Afghans from receiving entry into America because they said, "But how do we know that we can trust them."

Code Impact
@code-impact.bsky.social

Credit to the church! 🙏 The United States of America WILL NOT become a safe haven for racists and bigots!! You know why Trump designated them as refugees? Because Native #SouthAfricans are taking back the land the colonizers stole from them. White SAs, 7% of the population owns 70% of the land.

Blu Rulz Gal
@bluerulzgal.bsky.social

White Afrikaners built a whole apartheid regime to preserve their stolen power—then cried victim when the world called it what it was: white supremacy. They weren’t “pioneers.” They were colonizers clinging to racism like it was a birthright. Sound familiar?

Remember when he tried to get white people from Sweden to come here and they balked at the offer? The same as Canada did. He is only interested in increasing the % of white people in the US. This is what Nazis do. 45 is a white supremacist.

I'm white and I couldn't care less about this. Do you think someone's kids are less loved or something if they aren't 100% white? I think it's a beautiful thing people are finding love n making babies who cares their ethnicity The way you frame this is like someone is killing white folk Fuckn freak

Welp, can’t they just use their white privilege and get stuff for free? Start a Go Fund Me, get elon to give them all cyber trucks, and suckerberg can five them cell phones and bozos can set them up with prime accounts.

Good news. Will be interesting to see how Pope Leo responds. So far he’s trying to address current issues in a broad sense- peace vs war and freedom for journalists to speak. Pope Leo most likely does know really “fake news”

Now they find a point of morality to cling to… nothing Trump has done thus far is repulsive to them, not separating babies from mothers, not canceling all Fed. gov’t health services, not even denying food to starving people, this is the step to far? What a morally bankrupt religion!

KKKhristers be KKKhristin'. The same as these primates have done for 1500 years and the same as they'll continue to do. Worthless primates. EVERY one of them and their cross-eyed kids. Fuck these people, their kkkids, and literally everything they represent. And fuck Jesus too, while we're at it.

So, the white Afrikaners got preferential treatment and jumped to the front of the line while the Iraqi and Afghanistani refugees who protected our troops and kept them safe will get deported back to their countries of origin and risk being killed? What’s wrong with this story?! I think it stinks!

DFDerp
@datfreakyderp.bsky.social

Why didn't these white Afrikaners go back to Europe where their family started from? I know someone whose mom would call these men white N word because they're from South Africa.

"If I was giving him one piece of advice” for a second term, Vance said on a 2021 podcast: “Fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people." I thought he was talking about Rep voters, seems like he meant white supremacists. 🫠

As a member of a black episcopal church. They do not play that. They really believe that Christianity came from Africa and treat its people with high regard. So to ask them to house white afrikaners is a slap in the face

DonnaKCourtney
@seacowindustries.bsky.social

There has been NO DETAILED EXPLANATION as to why these “poor Afrikaaners” need shelter from racism. If they had to return farmland to the black farmers whose land they stole, that’s their government’s problem to address. This looks SO BAD, especially NOW, & they really thought we would be cheering?

llkooldre.bsky.social
@llkooldre.bsky.social

Those South Africans more likely have experience in Apartheid and anti-black violence and want to bring that knowledge here to the States (Red States to start) to help with the non-white population situation. They'll deport the brown people and re-eslave the black people. Mark my words.

@sloomas.bsky.social

Also, if these are the landowners, they were more than capable of “escaping” and resettling themselves. Their desperation would be a bit more believable if they had floated over here on a pool raft. Instead, we have Ms. Sunhat over there looking like she’s on her way to the White Lotus-Destin.

They are kicking out people who are already here cause they are not from USA but they are going to bring in million other white Africans cause they are like the ones who are in USA now who needed our help and they can’t stay in USA but you can bring more in only because they are white this

Cheryl 71
@cherylannbl.bsky.social

This is totally wrong and I can’t stand this I would rather have the black Africans they are a much better class of people and this I know we need to send our racist whites over there or anywhere else but not here !

Cheryl 71
@cherylannbl.bsky.social

I said this is totally wrong. We do not need any more white African or any other prejudiced racist people brought into USA. We need to get the racist prejudice ones we have in here out. They need to go to anywhere but not in USA.Period

I do hope they understand and feel how unwelcome they are. Surely they understand why they were chosen. This is so similar to Thiel flooding NH with “Libertarians,” I wonder how many will be sent here.

I think maga has an agenda to appease people who are racist and to make those of us who aren't conflicted over these South Africans so that they can spin it to us being the bad people.
