About the Afrikaners that Trump is letting in. Not so fast Tonto, they are not facing persecution, as claimed

[Zafira Cherry]

Trump is bringing white South Africans to the US as refugees, but what persecution are they facing?​

Let me make this clear, if this gets out of control, I am A-OK with this going to the Rubber Room. Please, no "whataboutism" as well.
With that said it is time for civil discussion.
How can "these people" be "persecuted" when they are among the richest and most successful people in the country, and said they are amongst “the most economically privileged.” What persecution? Also, it is very apparent from this article, this is just a "test run". It is "the start of a larger relocation effort".

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — The Trump administration is bringing a small number of white South Africans to the United States as refugees next week in what it says is the start of a larger relocation effort for a minority group who are being persecuted by their Black-led government because of their race.

The South Africans' applications are being fast-tracked by the U.S. after President Donald Trump announced the relocation program in February.

The Trump administration has taken an anti-migrant stance, suspending refugee programs and halting arrivals from other parts of the world, including Iraq, Afghanistan and most countries in sub-Saharan Africa.

Refugee groups have questioned why some white South Africans are being prioritized.

South Africa says there's no persecution

The South African government said the U.S. allegations that the white minority Afrikaners in question are being persecuted are “completely false,” the result of misinformation and an inaccurate view of its country. It cited the fact that Afrikaners are among the richest and most successful people in the country, and said they are amongst “the most economically privileged.”

...South Africa says there's no persecution. The South African government said the U.S. allegations that the white minority Afrikaners in question are being persecuted are “completely false,”...

The "word" of the South African government is no longer to be trusted.

Those White South Afrikkaners are being subjected to land seizures and economic hardships and street violence.

Close enough... they get expedited entrance and asylum processing and permanent residency.

a simple Google search on Afrikaners wealth validates the South African government statement.

 

[Oddball]

Oh, so the very people who've been running white farmers off their land, and even standing aside as a number of them have been murdered, say WE DINDU NUFFIN!

Uh-huh....suuuuuuuure.

Immaterial... we're talking on a case-by-case basis... and we're talking real-time... not ancient data points...

Ask Zimbabwe how well land grabs and pressured migration of white farmers worked out for them.

Those people screw-up everything they touch... there aren't many thriving democracies over there...

So they’re not entering “the right way”?

They’re jumping the line?

You believe that economic status precludes persecution?

Wow.

 

[Zafira Cherry]

If true, why would they want to leave?

It is obvious, they are racist.

 

[Kondor3]

Incorrect. The US government itself is expediting their entrance and processing. The "right way", accelerated by their new hosts.

 

[SeaMajor7]

So they’re not entering “the right way”?

They’re jumping the line?

Just like your Hatian pet immigrants in Ohio?
Hypocrite much?

 

[Mac-7]

South Africa says there's no persecution

Oh well

That settles it

What else do we need to hear?

 

[Darkwind]

It is obvious, they are racist.

You're go to response. Can't answer something? THEY ARE RACISTS!!!

Say goodbye.

South Africa is on the Zimbabwe path. The whites leaving will have a direct benefit to black South Africans. When Zimbabwe dispossessed the whites, they slaughtered the black workers as well as the whites that remained. Perhaps the black workers will survive this time.

They’re jumping the line?

They are being identified and coming here the legal way.

Here’s the real question that matters to good real core Americans…will these White folks cause societal decay and degradation EVERYWHERE they inhabit like ALL the Democrat’s pet humans do?
Never ever has Dem pets improved or enhanced one single community, city or state…EVER!
