Trump cuts aid to South Africa over ‘racial discrimination’ against Afrikaners
US president also offers asylum to Afrikaners and criticises law that allows land seizures without compensation in some circumstances
Meanwhile Elon Musk, the actual President of the United States, got his money from an emerald mind that heavily profited from apartheid. So... Gonna cut ties with your sugar daddy, you geriatric squash?
This isn't about right or wrong. It's just black and white.
How like Trump to do something extremely racist and then call everyone else a racist.
All these white supremacists do that. If they didn't persuade themselves they are oppressed, they'd have to face the fact that they're just assholes.
This just in, Trump to cut programs to native American reservations due to discrimination against white Americans.
Woah there, he probably doesn't even know Native Americans exist yet, don't put them on his radar, maybe he'll leave them alone. :(
I have news for you. His legal team already argued that Native Americans are actually not US citizens since they belong to sovereign nations.

Of course he does. Probably pissed/thinks they have an better advantage at running casinos
Musk cuts aid
Coincidently Netanyahu had a recent meeting with Trump, and now a SA, which took Israel to the ICC has been punished
Just further proof that he's white supremacist. Offering asylum for white people from South Africa because the indigenous people in the area who now rule after apartheid are trying to get recompense.
Just further proof that he's white supremacist.
It seems at this point, mountains and mountains of evidence for his atrocious misdeeds against the human race don't seem to add up to much.
How longs it got to be for someone to be indigenous?
Or is it just based on skin colour?
Loads of black tribes moved into south Africa.
I'm not sure I've ever seen such blatantly and unapologetically racist government policy in my life time.
Don't get me wrong, we've come close, but this genuinely might just take the cake.
I have. It was called apartheid-era South Africa.
Someone remind me who was running things then...
I believe that a conservative would say that If they kill all the Afrikaners then the discrimination will end.
Incorrect. If all black people were killed, then discrimination would end. Your scenario involves Afrikaner corpses, which are white and therefore worth 10^N with N -> \infty of "the blacks". Thus, you cannot trivially cancel 0 dead Afrikaners with anything except a similar number of Israelis.
Excuse me while I puke after typing that, but I live in SA.
There is a sizeable "Lost Cause" myth among racists for both South Africa and Zimbabwe/formerly Rhodesia. In talking about these countries and seemingly caring about them, it makes them seem more worldly and less racist. They'll often try to deny that these regimes were apartheid at all by pointing out that the military was desegregated, despite that having little to do with how the native Africans were actually treated both under the law and outside of it. Their fascination also crosses over with anti-communist sentiment because many of their adversaries were communist if not directly USSR-backed. And killing communists is BASED.
It's all "right of play" rhetoric that one quote about arguing with Nazis talks about, it's either intellectually lazy or intentionally dishonest. When you get down to brass tacks with this Myth, the hypothesis they put forth is "Africa can only ever prosper if Whites are in charge."
I don't know the specifics of this South African law, but isn't it basically punishing today's landowners for the wrongs of their ancestors? And they're taking over land without compensation? That's nuts! Here in my country, land is only expropriated without payment when the owner uses it for illegal drugs like marijuana.
Apartheid in South Africa ended in 1990. This is not a "sins of my ancestors" moment. And before the end they tried to get more and more violent towards the black population.
