Such a weakling and coward.

The US has become a disgrace.

White supremacists in 1950: "Of course there's discrimination and it's how God wants it!  Blacks are naturally shiftless."

White supremacists in 1980: "There is absolutely no discrimination in the world and anybody who thinks there is is a racist.  Blacks are the racists, not us!"

White supremacists today: "Of course there's discrimination and it's all against white straight men!  We're the victims!"

The really telling comment that this is an Elon inspired vendetta “I’ve got friends from South Africa, one in particular and he says ….” 
Adding insult to injury and showing just how much of a banana republic the US has become, the South African president says “Sorry I don’t have a jet to give you”

Watching that interview and Trump flipping through printed pages like a car salesman, I don’t think that decorum exists in the Whitehouse anymore. I don’t think I’d be surprised if it came out they they were having literal circle jerks in the Oval Office.

Hi Nigel,

You could not be more correct.

A bully is a bully and always will be a bully.

Right? At least it blows up all the pathetic excuses that Winsor and the like always deploy to deflect the truth. "Everyone who talks about racism are the real racists!" Well this brazenly white supremacist administration is laser focused on talking about racism now.

Yeah I think any attempts the US has to claim the moral high ground in ANYTHING here are going to get laughed out of the room

Jimmy Carter sought to lecture South Africa on race relations.

Pik Botha said they'd looked at the example set by the U. S. in dealing with its indigenous population, but they couldn't bring themselves to kill so many innocent people.

Well congratulations, I guess, on the US government once again becoming significantly more racist than South Africa.

Apparently your two options now are woke or racist.

Don't be so quick to put limits on people. Since the white South African refugee scheme is a textbook example of what the right falsely claim that DEI is, you could say they're being woke and racist.
