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.

There have been no large-scale killings of white farmers...
I'm guessing that a small-scale killing or two is OK then. Apparently there's a difference. Perhaps the NYT would like to publish a scale so their readers can judge whether a mass murder is small- or large-scale and at what point they will move themselves to disapprove?
White Genocide is real.
The slimes called the famine in Ukraine under Stalin a myth. I f-ing hate the scum media.
OK. So the NYT is now telling us to believe them and not our own lying eyes. Sure we’ve seen the videos and heard the first hand accounts of what’s happening in South Africa directly from the tyrants about to perpetrate the genocide but we have to believe the NYT instead. They have become completely delusional. The only people still listening to the Slimes are other crazy people.
myth?
This has Sarah Jeong’s pawprints all over it.
Newsweak reported as of 3/19 18 “...there have been 109 recorded attacks so far in 2018 and 15 farm murders, meaning that this year, one white farmer has been killed every five days.”
There is no more vile news organization. TASS had nothing on these guys.
Evil liars. I have friends on Facebook from South Africa and they show the newspapers that carry the atrocities. Lye forced down the throats of the elderly, burnings, stabbings, rape...
“I think Khrushchev got better treatment from the MSM back in the day.”
Are you kidding? When he came to the U.S. in 1959 the press fell over themselves praising lovable Nikita even while he was uttering phrases like “your grandchildren will grow up under communism” and “We will bury you”. Then he banged his shoe on the table in the U.N.
Later I learned his nickname in the USSR was “Hangman of Ukraine”.
Anyway, the massacre of whites in SA has begun and Pres. Trump needs to immediately announce asylum for Boers & Afrikaners to come to America. Of course, the Left will scream bloody murder and the murderous regime will simply accelerate the slaughter of whites.

That picture is a classic example of the devil’s disciples...
ABC South Africa reports “During the calendar year of 2017 there were 84 farm murders that we could verify,” says Ernst Roets, AfriForum’s deputy CEO.
“And by that we mean we have the actual names of the people who were murdered.
democrats cant admit such a thing is happening. Just like Chicago murders
Drop Sarah Jeong in Pretoria and have her try to cross through wrong side of town. Make sure she can’t get in touch with her handlers before she gets to know the real South Africa.
Repeat with any white NYT employee until they report the uncomfortable truth.
Actually, this Slimes editorial board smear and hit piece is just another vile DNC talking point, regurgitated by a faceless Stalinist panel of media shills. Thanks lowbridge.
By comparison only one journalist was killed in Annapolis this year, yet the Times raised quite a temper about that.
The killing of white farmers in South Africa who were there BEFORE the Bantus arrived from the north is a noble task that should be heartily supported by all Progressives.
Here is another video, among the growing number, telling about the graphic torture white families are suffering from South Africa’s black criminals. It tells about how the government is encouraging this savage brutality with this slogan, “Kill the Boars!”
