White South Africans Rally at US Embassy in Support of Trump Amid Racism Claims

[Social Media]

 

A group of white South Africans gathered outside the US Embassy in Pretoria on Saturday to show support for President Donald Trump and protest what they claim are racist policies implemented by their own government. Holding signs that read “Thank God for President Trump,” the demonstrators voiced their opposition to laws they believe discriminate against the white minority in the country.  

 

Many of the protesters were from the Afrikaner community, which Trump highlighted in an executive order last week that cut aid to South Africa’s Black-led government. In the order, Trump argued that Afrikaners, descendants of mainly Dutch colonial settlers, were being unfairly targeted by a new land expropriation law. The law allows the South African government to redistribute certain private lands, a move that has sparked controversy.  

 

The South African government has rejected Trump’s claims, insisting that the law is not based on race. Officials have accused Trump of distorting the situation, pointing out that no land has actually been taken under the legislation. Despite this, Trump has described Afrikaners as “racially disfavored landowners” and announced a plan to grant them refugee status in the United States. Afrikaners, however, represent only a portion of South Africa’s white population.  

 

Addressing Parliament this week, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa firmly dismissed concerns that the law would result in forced removals. “The people of this country know the pain of forced removals,” he said, referencing the apartheid era when millions of Black South Africans were dispossessed of their land. Ramaphosa emphasized that the law does not allow for arbitrary land seizures and is instead aimed at redistribution for public benefit.  

 

Trump’s criticisms and subsequent policy decisions have amplified a long-running debate in South Africa over how to address the legacy of white minority rule. The South African government has stated that its land policies are intended to correct historical injustices, as white landowners still control a disproportionate share of farmland despite making up only 7% of the population.  

 

At Saturday’s protest, demonstrators also criticized affirmative action policies that have been in place since the end of apartheid in 1994. These policies, known as Black Economic Empowerment, are designed to increase economic opportunities for Black South Africans but have been a source of frustration for some white citizens.  

 

Influential Trump adviser Elon Musk, who was born and raised in South Africa, has also spoken out against the government’s policies, frequently claiming they are discriminatory against white people. Musk recently faced his own struggles with the South African government after being denied a license for his Starlink satellite internet service, as it did not meet the country’s affirmative action requirements. His criticism of the government, however, has been met with skepticism by some observers.  

 

While race has historically shaped South African politics, the country has largely managed to reconcile its diverse population in the post-apartheid era. The current government is composed of a coalition of ten political parties, both Black-led and white-led, working together in governance.

Since the black populations only excuse for all the misery is "the white man" I suggest these people, mostly farmers I guess, get free land in countries that would appreciate their skills and help with the food situation! I wonder what the people left in SA will blame their misery on then? They should look at Zimbabwe! Lol! But I guess they have no clue?🙄

The majority of land in South Africa 65% of the best fertile land is held by Black chiefs and due to them not having Title deeds do not show as owning the land. Second to that the land held by Blacks 65% of the most fertile is not farmed as the African Zulu and Xhaus are warriors not farmers. So it is a miss noma that Whites own the majority of the land any one that took the time to view SA should see huge tracts of land held by Rural Africans that don’t hold deeds but allocated by the chief and have never paid any taxes. The Boers lived in the Cape for near on 200 years mixing with the Khoi San and San San tribes {Bushmen} before ever seeing a Black African of the Ngomi peoples. The descendants of this interracial mixing are the Cape Coloureds of of today the rightfull owners if any of South Africa. The Ngomi tribes have just as much right  and no more than any other peoples including the Boers. They are all immigrants.

What would be the result if Trump offered the same support to the Afrikaner's as he did to the ANC terrorists in the 1970s complete with World sanctions. During Apartheid the SA Government had 170 racially discriminatory laws the Ruling Black Government ANC now has some 300 whites are murdered in the most horrible way daily and they have no country to go to because they are white. Remember it was the British that put the Afrikaner’s in the first Consentration camps and the initiators of the Apartheid system. This not about people it is about SA and all the riches it holds not to mention the sea routes. South Africa was a world leader a super power in the making and that had to be stopped. The riches country In the World in 1900 so they flooded it with immigrants the Ouitlsnders that failed to swing the vote so they had the Jamaal. Raid that fails so the Boer War they didn’t even win that. Gold Dimonds Uranium is the name of the game. They can’t even win at Rugby ffs.

Thousands and still going on

They arent "white" South Africans.

 

They are South Africans whose families built a nation and who are now being persecuted by racists.

 

The world needs to boycott South Africa and divest.

[Woke to Sounds]
