Foreign aid is tied to human rights.

The whites in South Africa, are in a similar situation to the Jews in Nazi Germany. They are losing legal rights as time goes on, much as Jews were stripped of German citizenship and banned from many types of jobs and professions.

And then after kristallnacht (sp), the Nazis made it difficult for Jewish property owners to collect on insurance policies for the properties damaged during kristallnacht. And that was all done legally by Hitler and the Nazis.

The parallels are there . Black South Africa is moving step by step to outlaw whites and deprive them of their rights.

I don’t think we knew until after we entered Germany.

It was just a joke and reflected my attitude about what’s going on in SA.

"The U.S. gives $133M to South Africa for 2018."

I don't recall us having to send any "Aid" to South Africa before the Rainbow Rangers took over. Now whatever could have happened to cause such a precipitous decline in such a relatively short time frame? I'm thinking no one needs any clues here.

ANC politicians (and many people on the left in the US) are saying that what’s going on is an “internal problem” for South Africa and that others should just stay out of their business. How soon they conveniently forget.

I tried to Google Trump’s Tweet, see what it said. Instead I got replies on how awful Trump is and how stupid he is...

Google is big brother!

“Reform” is such an innocent word. Let’s call it “land reform” rather than genocide and communism. Let’s call it “immigration reform” instead of “voter fraud, rape and murder.”

The South African Regime has drawn up a list of farms it is going to expropriate without compensation so the United States should offer those farmers immigration to this country. The South Africans get their farms and we get a bunch of hard working farmers. It's a win win situation all round. Of course the South African Government's own land bank will go bankrupt and in five years time they will need to import food but they get all the land they need.

This by the way is a gem:

President Cyril Ramaphosa and other ANC officials have said any expropriations would be handled with care to avoid eroding property rights, food security and agricultural production.

They're going to expropriate land without compensation but at the same time preserve property rights. It's this sort of "out of the box" thinking that has made Africa great.

"IIRC, South Africa is a member of the UN. As such, they are signed on to the human rights agreements and subject to UN Peacekeepers preventing what is soon to become a genocide of whites living there."

RIIIGHT. Like that's going to happen. The looters and pirates at the UN are most likely in on the spoils and plunder.

They set themselves on that path in the 90s.

I've seen a video on youtube showing the President of South Africa (unsure if it's the current one or a previous one) singing a song (in some African language) with a group of supporters calling for the killing of “Boers”...which is a word that black South Africans use to refer to all whites.

Important tweet by Trump (among many!). Very important obviously as it relates to South Africa itself, hopefully, the U.S. can help avert a genocide from occurring. But what’s happening in South Africa is also important for our own politics. The fundamental lie of the modern left is that whites are a uniquely oppressive race, and that if we can just remove them from power, justice and equality for all will be the result. Given democracy (for now), removing whites from power (thus guaranteeing just and and equality for all) requires unfettered mass immigration of non-white people to all white majority countries.

But we all know that this is a giant lie: all human beings discriminate against “out-groups” in favor of their “in-group”. It’s hard-wired into all extant cultures, due to the simple logic that any culture lacking said hard-wiring would not today exist. There is zero reason to believe that any group suffering discrimination as a disenfranchised out-group will all of the sudden treat everyone completely equally when they become the powerful in-group. On the contrary, there is . . . all of human history.

What is unique about the post-enlightenment European/white/Western culture is not its racism against others, but its willingness to enunciate, fight for and defend principles that push against that basic human tendency to discriminate against others. South Africa has become a poster child demonstrating these facts for all to see, and good on Trump for putting a floodlight on that poster.

He is courageous man and he is the only major head of a Western nation to complain about what South Africa is doing.

Not a peep from the UK or any anglo countries outside of Australia.

The U.S. gives $133M to South Africa for 2018. Not a single nickel further. should be headed to that hellhole until this crap stops.

The US gives a lot more than that: Aid to South Africa totals $471Million or R6.1Billion

I wonder how much of that can be diverted to compensation to the farmers whose land was stolen.

We should have the same sanctions on SA that we have on NK.

Yes, South African blacks were treated shamefully for a hundred years. It’s heartbreaking. But now that they are in control, they are doing the same thing to whites. Another eye for an eye culture. They are blinded by hatred of whites and lust for revenge. They were given power, and now they’re doing this. Probably very few Christians among them (the whites who called themselves Christians, while abusing the blacks were enough to want no one to be one). Greed, hatred, lust for power, thirst for revenge, will destroy them, but unfortunately, they’re going to destroy a lot of whites who had nothing to do with the ill treatment they received, who do not deserve to be dispossessed and murdered. Idi Amin would be proud of them. Pray for revival in South Africa; it’s their only hope, white or black.

“land overhaul”
As always, the left gives a nice name to evil things. This is seizure of land, with the killing to come afterwards.
No other world figure has condemned this. Putin has invited White farmers whose land is being stolen to move to Russia.
This confiscation and subsequent murder was promoted by bammy who went to South Africa in July 2018 to give them his blessing for their plans to take land from Whites and then to kill them.
Trump is unique among world figures in condemning it. All the others need to move to South Africa and see what it was like before Whites came in and tried to give the savages a bit of civilization, and were hated for it.
In the current world, people who say “White lives matter”, “It’s OK to be White”, or “White pride” are immediately condemned as racist.
