South Africa’s government on Thursday criticized a tweet by President Donald Trump in which he said he asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to study efforts to overhaul land ownership and “large scale killing of farmers” in Africa’s most-developed economy.

Sounds to me like President Trump is correctly setting the stage to grant asylum to white people fleeing the tyranny and ethnic cleansing of the radical black communists.
I was talking to a Man from South Africa about 3 weeks ago. He said it’s as bad as it sounds in the news. He moved his family here out of safety concerns, and worries about some of his relatives still there as Whites are being targeted.
Good guy, hard working. A contributor not a taker. Hope he finds a way to get his family here.
Some of those South African whites are of dutch decent ... and damn easy on the eyes.

So if the South African whites come here, can they claim to be African-Americans?
Of course. I should have known. No one here would count on that band of pirates for anything but thievery.
I’ll 2nd that.
