Awwww, poor widdle White South Africans! Too many Black Africans for you.
Disgusting, Insulting!!!
Certainly, though, in league with drumphf's racism! Blargh!

If I remember correctly I met some one in DC where I was staying overnight who either was in SA for gov't reasons, or knew some one well who was with the crowd when Nelson Mandela was freed. It was amazing story!
I went down to our City Hall area in NYC for his parade. Very exciting!
One of best things was I went down on a gorgeous Spring day 1994 here in NYC to the UN area where for ?3 days they had Voting Tents set up for the SA'rs here.
Sooo moving! I couldn't stop smiling. Every time I relaxed my face while I was there, like involuntarily my muscles would pull up in a smile. So far no event has ever had me do that again.
I sketched a picture or two of it, and wrote a poem, too.
I was late 30's and well aware (and learning more) of the deficiencies of my country regarding equality, and justice. But, still, this was an extraordinary experience.

(292,236 posts)Asked on Monday why white South Africans were being prioritized above the victims of famine and war elsewhere in Africa, Trump said, without providing evidence, that Afrikaners were being killed.
It's a genocide that's taking place," Trump told reporters at the White House, going further than he has previously in echoing right-wing tropes about their alleged persecution.
He was not favoring Afrikaners because they are white, Trump said, adding that their race "makes no difference to me."
