Trump ambushes South African president in Oval Office with claims of 'white persecution'
BBC ^ | May 21 | BBC

BBC'S SUMMARY

In an extraordinary Oval Office meeting, Donald Trump confronts South Africa's leader with video over discredited claims of a white genocide in South Africa

Trump says white farmers are "fleeing South Africa" and plays footage showing people chanting "kill the Boer, kill the farmer"

This is the first time we've seen this sort of ambush in the Oval Office, reports Bernd Debusmann Jr

Responding to the footage, Ramaphosa says the chants don't represent government policy

There were parallels with the infamous Zelensky meeting in the Oval Office, writes Anthony Zurcher, but Ramaphosa kept his composure

A group of 59 white South Africans recently arrived in the US, where they will be given refugee status

Why do they say it's discredited? Aren't they doing land grabs? Call it what you like but something like that..

Or am I wrong?

The BBC says it’s “discredited” because the BBC are liars.

How many “journalists” pushing this leftist narrative are white? I say we drop them into the Utopia of South Africa on FAFO flights.

Haha., god point.

They shouldn’t inject language like “discredited” as a news organization they should be impartial which is what their charter says.

Just report the news

Why do they say it's discredited?

LOL, it's the favorite media LIE. Remember - Trump's "discredited" allegations of Biden's cognitive impairment. It's the media being Leftist activists, not unbiased journalists.

Ambushed? At least Trump didn’t “necklace” Ramaphosa like he does white people and black opponents…

According to the news they admit there is a law that seizes land from white farmers.

It’s amazing they can say in one breath its not true but then point out the law

They say the law is “redressing the balance after appartheid”

I spent a few cycles trying to get up to speed on this. Can’t say I accomplished that. In particular I wanted to see how many white farmers were being murdered each year. Could not find that probably because those in charge don’t want us to know.

Whites are a small minority in SA, e.g. 7% and own 72% of the farms. The Left will say “the murders of farmers in SA cross racial boundaries”. Probably true due to black on black crime but misleading.

It is obvious what is going on there but the official stats are being covered up.

(Aren’t they doing land grabs?)

Yes, White farmers and their families are being slaughtered for their land. White women and their children are being mutilated in certain instances. Former Louisiana State Representative David Duke has been warning about this for years.

The Witkruis Monument has over 1600 white crosses memorializing murdered Afrikaaner farmers.

It is hard to find photos of it on the Internet because the search engines censor them.
