Of all the many awful Trump policies since 2017, this policy of limiting the number of refugees to around 7,000 next year and essentially only allowing in white South Africans, in some ways this one really stands out to me. Even if it’s not the most racist policy, it’s the most obviously racist policy he’s done yet. There can be no explanation for it other than blatant racism. There is an extreme humanitarian crisis going on in Sudan right now - to where anyone who believes in even a strict definition of what makes a “refugee” would agree that anyone coming from Sudan should be given refuge. And yet, they’re blocked and white South Africans are not?

What bugs me too is how NO ONE in the media and the supposed “opposition” is pushing back on this or highlighting how racist it is. Media is just reporting it and I have yet to see anyone go deeper, challenge it, or call it out for what it is. Totally shameful.

Wasn't there a boer that came here that ended up hating the country?

MSM is doing it on purpose. Intentionally arguing on the administration's frivolous terms, legitimizing them instead of discrediting them.

The same way they are doing it with the bombing of Venezuelan boats. Instead of denouncing the crime that they are committing extrajudicial killings, they are instead focusing attention on the fact that they do not even know if the boats are carrying drugs, legitimizing the claim that the government can blow up boats that have drugs on board, which is incorrect.

It is by design, things are running as they always have been.
