Afrikaner friend is posting about how families leaving South Africa for the USA look like evil rednecks and obviously stupid. Other friends are chiming in how Trump is sending away Afghanistan refugees and that they're the wrong color, and that's why.
Then the English friends are posting about how Afghanistan being a terrible place and sending people back is a terrible thing. Meanwhile South Africa is a great place and no evil horrible thing is happening.
It's been going like this all day.
They applied for asylum correctly. I saw the pictures of families arriving and they seem happy and grateful. Forgive me if I’m tired of people coming here who hate America and can’t stop protesting, so this was refreshing. The issues in South Africa are there if the media bothered to look
they don't want normies knowing about south africa's problems because they want to do everything being done there here
imagine what they'd be doing to us under president pajeeta
1000% correct with this comment
I think they want America to look more like Lebanon, but tomato-tomato.
At this point I don't care if Trump is bending/breaking the law for them. After the shit they pulled under Biden Trump could import every European/Canadian/Aussie/Kiwi right winger and I wouldn't give a shit.
They didn’t show up waving a South African flag, chanting fuck America, and signing up immediately for welfare, clearly they are a threat to national security and “democracy”
Exactly. Although I guarantee if one of those kids gets detention in school the media will do 24/7 reporting on immigrant crime
They can't, for a number of reasons. Afrikaners have lived in that part of the African continent centuries longer than the country's current Bantu majority. Oops! There was a small tribe of Black Africans in the same region, but I can't recall their name and wiki's Demographics page suspiciously lumps them all into "Black" and ignores actual ethnicity (something that was not the case 10 years ago). From the late 19th to mid 20th century monied interests allowed the mass migration of Bantu groups as cheap labor. Sound familiar? This obviously lead to South Africa's segregationally oriented laws of the second half of the 20th century. Was it unjust? Maybe, but the results of ending Apartheid were a disaster. Don't believe me? Ask the Zulu monarch. Then of course, there's the killings...
The Khoisans are the indigenous peoples of South Afrika, then came the Dutch / Afrikaners who largely cohabited peacefully on different parts of current South Afrika.
Then came the Bantu invaders, who slaughtered Whites and Khoisans. The Bantu mass-migration continued after the bloody mitilary invasions.
Thanks. I had the damnedest time trying to find their name on wiki2025.
I didn’t know Zulus were still around. Was their war with the British after the Afrikaners arrived?
First Afrikaners arrived in the mid 17th, and the Zulu war was in the late 19th. I should note my initial comment does over simplify things a bit, but the complexities of ethnic/tribal groups of central and southern Africa and the migrations of the past few centuries are complicated and, frankly, not something I'm an expert on. For example, the Zulu kingdom of the 19th century is a tiny tiny portion of what is today South Africa. PS. Zulu (1964) is a fantastic movie.
Thanks! I need to see that movie. That is a topic I have been meaning to research further (Zulu war and history of South Africa). I also heard that the tribes that the Zulus were terrorizing helped the British similar to the tribes in Mexico helping the Spanish against the Aztecs
The indigenous people to South Africa are the Zulu, Khoisans, and the Afrikans. The Bantu should be deported.
Apartheid was shit for a lot of reasons, and the racism wasn't even the worst part. You could have ended Apartheid without explicitly allowing a race communist take over, though.
The media is specifically hiding it. Even my friend knows this, but to give up his homeland is too much for him.
Tell your friend it isn't 'giving up' his homeland but a tactical retreat.
Basically it's like the 'long march' in China just not commie: You escape encirclement, retreat to a more defensible position, build up your strength as your enemy fuck up and kill each other then storm back and take over when the native population would rather have YOU in charge than their current government.
