No bias in that headline, none at all. NPR CANNOT DIE FAST ENOUGH.

Agreed. “Radically redrawn relocation program” meaning people actually marked for death.

I wondered where they were going to place these Afrikaners.

After seeing the three states listed, all I can say is STUPID choices!

WHY?

Because there are pretty large amounts of now American citizens, who are Afrikaners in Texas and Oklahoma, so these people would at least have an already settled community in those states. And...BBQ is a very big deal in those states, which is somewhat similar to Afikaners' Braai.

Why does the U.S. have to absorb every refugee around the world?

The genocide that matters most is the one that is happening now.

We don't; however, would you rather have a GENOCIDE on YOUR watch, or not?

Biden took in tens of millions of the scum of the earth, as well as many foreign TERRORISTS, spies, and the worst of the VERY worst of humanity...the Haitians.

These Afrikaners are NOT looking for freebes,they have one of THE best work ethics in the world, can speak, read, and write English, have many different skill sets, and WILL someday be GOP/CONSERVATIVE voters.

And YOU don't want them?

I bet that you aren't even aware of the fact that there was once quite a contingent of Afrikaners, who were/ARE American citizens on FR and were some of THE best,well educated, very CONSERVATIVE posters here.

In honor of the occasion, a song!

A favorite oldie of mine. Seldom heard anymore even on the oldies channels.
Master Jack. - Four Jacks and a Jill
South African Group from the’60’s.

Something from a different time and different place.

Of course, I don't want genocide, but how many tens of millions or more does that apply to.

These Afrikaners are NOT looking for freebes,they have one of THE best work ethics in the world, can speak, read, and write English, have many different skill sets, and WILL someday be GOP/CONSERVATIVE voters.

First of all, do you actually have any proof of that? Second, you statement means you agree with Democrats. Democrats try to import immigrants into this country to vote for them. So, you agree with Democrats, you want to import people who will vote for your party?

And YOU don't want them?

That's a very glib, loaded question.

I bet that you aren't even aware of the fact that there was once quite a contingent of Afrikaners, who were/ARE American citizens on FR and were some of THE best,well educated, very CONSERVATIVE posters here.

That is true, but I've also met many Afrikaners who absolutely hate this country. I've also met half a dozen Palestinian Uber drivers who love this country, are conservative, and hate Hamas, etc. So should we import as many Palestinian refugees as we can? Actually, the most conservative ones I met are from West Africa and East Africa.

To hell with the Afghans. Way too many of them have already been brought in here.

The USA should not merely assist the ANC with its ethnic cleansing of South Africa.

Rather, call them out, cut all aid, sanction their worst marxist and violent elements (like Julius Malema) and help South Africans reclaim their country.

The Afrikaners who HATE America and/or are not willing to leave RSA aren't the ones who are seeking asylum here AND I probably know MORE Afrikaners and know them FAR BETTER than YOU ever shall.

There are 68,000, THAT'S THOUSAND, NOT MILLIONS, of Afrikaners who have signed up for Trump's asylum offer. Will ALL of them get to come here? I DOUBT IT.

And blaming me for "sounding like the DEMS", when unlike them, I am actually stating a FACT, it patently ridiculous and in spades!

So here's a FACTUAL example, of a different ethnic group, who emigrated to America almost 150 years ago.......

The early Hungarian emigres to America came during GOP presidents. They LOVED this nation, and for that generation, once they became citizens, and for the children born here and their children's children, etc. THEY VOTED LOYALLY FOR THE GOP, for the vast majority.

Unlike other asylum seekers, from other nations, and the damned ILLEGAL ALIENS, the Afrikaners are well educated, are NOT looking to be "taken care of" forever, have many different very good skills, AND will assimilate easily.

There is NO PLACE else for them to go,nor could the vast majority of them get out of that nation, NOW, without Trump's offer.

They have been discriminated against, robbed, beaten, tortured, raped,and killed, constantly living in feat ( yes, even rich ones! ), for many decades and now face a genocide, the likes of which has not been seen in almost a century.

I get it, you don't like Afrikaners.

You and the rest of us are sick to our back teeth with the ILLEGAL ALIENS and the likes of the Haitain "asylum" seekers. But this is a whole different kettle of fish.

Whites in South Africa are experiencing racism way beyond what blacks experienced during apartheid.

Ah, yes. The only South African song to make the charts in America. An anti-anthem heaping contempt upon the nation that had protected and provided opportunities for these ungrateful whelps.

I get it, you don't like Afrikaners.

That is a total lie, unsupported by anything I said. I'm surprised you would say something so vile.

You claimed that the Afrikaners will all vote for Republicans etc. You did not give anything to back that up. Your personal friends can't stand in for a group, any more than anyone's friends can.

As you say, you know a lot of Afrikaners. That's great. But if you personally vouch for an entire group, you can't argue if someone else vouches for another group can you? So, where does it end?

I am not saying any country or victims of genocide are good or bad. But can we really let out personal affection make a decision like this? Because I think any group out there will have people who will vouch for them and say they will be the right kind of citizens. Do you understand me?

Man, leftist pigs just cannot stand it when White people aren't allowed to be slaughtered by hyper-violent, single-digit-IQ Black thugs.

I can't remember which one of the leftist pervert "intellectuals" Derrida, Sartre or Foucault said that when a Black murders a White colonialist it's an "act of love," but that sentiment's a strong, ideological clue as to why leftist pigs around the world hate "Whiteness" with such a passion that they want all Whites wiped from the face of the earth.

A pox on all leftists. They hate good and love evil.

...the worst of the VERY worst of humanity...the Haitians...

Somali's are worse because of Islam. In a recent example one of them who had a rape charge of a 16 year old girl mysteriously dismissed is trying to destroy the life of a Minnesota mother. She merely called him and a thiefing child words which are now considered TABOO.
