The president, who gets his intelligence briefings from Fox News, repeats a white nationalist myth about murders of white South African farmers.
Trust President Trump, following his familiar tactic of deflecting attention from yet another scandal by issuing some outrageous tweet, to come down hard on the wrong side of an issue he knows nothing about, based on no more than a slanted Fox News program. In a late-Wednesday tweet, Mr. Trump said he had asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to look into land seizures and the large-scale killing of farmers in South Africa. It was the first time he has mentioned Africa by name in a tweet as president.
His source was a grossly one-sided report by the Fox host Tucker Carlson asserting that the South African president, Cyril Ramaphosa, was seizing land from his citizens because they are the wrong skin color. There have been no large-scale killings of white farmers, and Mr. Ramaphosas proposal to change the Constitution to allow expropriation of land without compensation has not yet passed. That said, the issue does deserve a close look.

Yet Mr. Trumps tweet, and the Fox show on which it was based, were bereft of any context, sympathy or understanding. They pounced, instead, on the false narratives of right-wing white South African groups claiming widespread seizures of white-owned land and a continuing white genocide.
In fact, the number of killings of farmers and farm workers is at a 20-year low, with 47 in the 2017-18 fiscal year, according to AgriSA, a farmers organization in South Africa. The numbers have been declining steadily since peaking in 1998, when 153 were killed.

This is the same editorial board that just hired an anti-white racist.
I wonder if Die Antwoord will be moving to Europe, soon.
I think Khrushchev got better treatment from the MSM back in the day.
This must have been written by the New Racist Slimes newly hired affirmative action racist.
After 20 years of ethnic cleansing it might be harder to find victims.
As Sara Jeong showed us, NY Times actively supports genocide of whites
Nah, the Slimes wouldn’t cover up mass murder - again.

South African Politician: ‘We Are Cutting The Throat Of Whiteness’
https://www.dailywire.com/news/27896/south-african-politician-we-are-cutting-throat-paul-bois
Having lived and worked in South Africa, I can speak with certainty when I say none of the coastal liberals have any ideal what is happening to the country of South Africa.
Think Rhodesia on steroids.
Is this written by the antiwhite NYTimes writer who wanted all white people dead?
Big Media loved the USSR.
Reminds me of the articles the NYT printed to give Hitler and Stalin cover for genocide.
And they were White so why count them at all? Their attitude not mine.
Your “Die Antwoord” reference escapes me.
I’m sure you had a clever thing going there, but it sailed over my head. “:^)
These presstititems are gonna look like prize idiots when SA starts the forfeitures...
Or maybe SA will now be pressured not to start so as SA’s enablers don’t look like fools. In which case they’ll be saving those farmers and making the rest of us very happy.
Works for me.
“That said, the issue does deserve a close look.”
So the NYT Editorial board in fact agrees with the President.
But out of conviction and principle they must smear and attack him with juvenile rhetoric in the same editorial where they second his call to look in to what is happening.
At one time, African Pigmies were being held in European Zoos
Ignore White Genocide.
Ignore the murders of Whites.
Ignore the theft of the land of Whites.
Communicating about those things doesn’t fit The Globalist Plan.
Embrace open borders and the hordes of savages who walk across them.
“White nationalist” is used by the Fake News Media as a synonym for “people who oppose the murder and robbery of Whites”.
