THOUSANDS SIGN PETITION ASKING TRUMP TO LET WHITE FARMERS IN SOUTH AFRICA MIGRATE TO U.S.

Full Title THOUSANDS SIGN PETITION ASKING TRUMP TO LET WHITE FARMERS IN SOUTH AFRICA MIGRATE TO U.S. AFTER COUNTRY VOTES TO FORCE THEM OFF LAND (With no compensation)

More than 10,500 people have signed a petition asking President Donald Trump to let white people in South Africa emigrate to the U.S. after the country voted to strip white farmers of their land without compensation.

The petition calls on the U.S. leader to "take the steps necessary to initiate an emergency immigration plan allowing white Boers to come to the United States." Boer is the term used to describe South Africans of Dutch, German or Huguenot descent, who are also commonly referred to as Afrikaners.

The petition suggests that Trump should stop admitting refugees from Somalia and the Middle East, claiming they "cannot be properly vetted," and allow white South Africans into the country instead. They "can be easily vetted and also possess skills that make them compatible with our culture and civilization," the petition says.

NOT ALL WHITE SOUTH AFRICANS.

This was my first prejudice I ever had. Our European company was owned by some of the richest South Africans ever. They were to a man disgusting racist pigs. Arrogant and just horrible. The owner had his “servants” call him literally “Massa.” “massa is not available right now” etc. one of them asked me “Who should I speak to who can liaise with the cleaning lady? I need someone to tell her not to move my coffee cups.” Um. Hello. Speak to her, she is a nice lady. They were so racist / caste oriented it was very unnerving to this American girl.

Later, here in the States, I became friends with a wonderful white South African family. I had to work to overcome my prejudice. Lots of people from SA of all races are great. Just like everywhere in the world. But I truly had a prejudice after working with the people I did.

And the wealthy people I worked with couldn’t leave SA because they couldn’t get their money out. I don’t want those arrogant ones here.

What are their political leanings? If they embrace socialism, I don’t want them here.

You got that right!

In the case of Zimbabwe, there were three central problems to prevent success: (1) massive farm operations were divided into small, and often 5-acre lots. You can’t make any crop return off five acres so people reached the point where it was mostly done as a garden for themselves and a limited amount to sell in some local town. (2) The middle-men who bought the products of the large bulk-farm operations looked at the profit margin and limited trade, and just walked away for the most part. The state didn’t understand their contribution to the whole profit system. Finally (3), banks only loan money to profitable farm operations, which the bulk-farms could demonstrate decades of success. A little guy asking for a small sum of money to run a five-acre farm? The bank would chase the guy out, and laugh over the loan request.

The problem here in South Africa...is that for years, the political parties have talked of the unfair nature of farming and who owns the farms. The party has no choice but to pay off their voters and dismantle the white farm owners. It’ll just mean that in twenty years...SA has to import food from other places, rather than growing it themselves, and spend money on other nations.

I would gladly agree to support a family financially until they got on their feet. Hell, I support more than one family now on food stamps, medicaid, fuel assistance, child-care ...

Yes, I figure I do too - I have disabled family members, yet what are the chances my tax dollars go to illegals and social justice programs instead of them? Afrikaners are good people.

I met a really nice family from SA when my ship was in Thailand nearly 18 years ago. They foretold this and were prepping for it back then.

"What are their political leanings? If they embrace socialism, I don’t want them here."

I've met a few, and they were helpful, moral, generous, polite and very hard workers. They were determined to carry their own weight and help neighbors, too.

A few years ago, one who had moved to Australia from South Africa just before then was visiting his brother in Colorado and helped my family move a fairly long distance. He did it simply to be sociable and refused to take any payment. Seems that he was always looking for work to do just for the sake of keeping busy. Showed a cheerful, positive, can-do attitude about things in general.

It appeared that nothing could make him grouchy. He went back to Australia after his visit and has written to us since. Met a young lady from South Africa, too. She behaved maturely, also politely and was a cheerful hard worker. Had an independent nature while also generous.

They all spoke perfect English and provided entertaining and interesting company. They blended in and were well liked wherever they went. They didn't talk about race, but there were interesting stories about farming and other things about Africa (weather, scenery, etc.).

You should all read about Winnie Mandela’s necklace. Thousands of people were murdered that way.

Horrible way to die, being burned to death. She once ordered it done to a 10-year-old boy. The propaganda from the liberal left in our own U.S.A. has been utterly disgusting and evil in light of what really happened in South Africa.

Exactly.

They should be treated like any other “refugee”.

Just because some here have a soft spot for them, doesn’t mean they get some speed track into the U.S. if they just end up on the dole or voting for Democrats. We already have too much of that now.

And before they get here, they should follow the same rules people expected for the Syrians. Like going to the nearest safe nation first. Then they should be applying for assylum in either the U.K. or other Commonwealth nations.

Africans also strip property from millions of whites in the US. The creation of shitholes is African engineering at its best. Is white flight really the result of whites that don’t like black skin color?

Exactly right. Black self-rule has been a disaster for Africa. What can you expect from a low-IQ, tribal population?

The whole continent is going back to the bush — except for whatever assets the Chinese manage to extract.

If the farmers are willing to farm,let them in. Apparently the kids of farmers here don’t want to farm. They want to move to the big cities. If Iam wrong about this, please advise.

"for any who don't know the South African Government just voted to take the land of white farmers with no compensation."

This certainly isn't new. I have a friend who was born in Rhodesia. His family was forced to leave there when it became Zimbabwe, and the new black-majority government there stole the land from white farmers, and also killed many of them. Unfortunately, they then moved to South Africa. When the new black-majority government there took over, he emigrated to the US. He has become an American citizen, a true African-American, though his skin is as white as the snow on Mount Kilimanjaro.

Your acting more like a kid then he/she is, and adult would use a little corrective criticism instead of belittling someone.
