Well at least someone in the US media is talking about it! South Africa the highly touted welcoming “Rainbow Nation” is once again seeing serious violence erupt as South African citizens (the black ones!) are trying to push out the migrants (the black ones!) coming in from troubled nations across the continent.
The media must label it ‘xenophobia’ because the word ‘racism’ does not apply. And, besides everyone knows that blacks cannot be racist, right!
Here is the story at the PBS Newshour. Check it out for yourself. See the “xenophobic” violence. It isn’t just me pointing it out (although my language is a bit clearer!).
Can you blame the foreigners who heard about all the rights anyone in South Africa is entitled to under the Constitution that Nelson Mandela’s political party said were theirs—the right to a home, food, health care, education, work, blah, blah, blah.
In fact, remember that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg famously said she liked the South African Constitution better than ours!
The migrants came for what they heard South Africa had promised!
Ask yourself, is South Africa better off today governed by the communists of the African National Congress?
The ANC`s key objective is the creation of a united, non-racial, non-sexist and democratic society.
This means the liberation of Africans in particular and black people in general from political and economic bondage. It means uplifting the quality of life of all South Africans, especially the poor.
So to American readers!
If you think South Africa’s problems are not yours, think again. So far this year we have taken 621 REFUGEES from South Africa which is supposed to be a safe nation offering asylum to those who get there. I’m guessing that a large number will be Somalis and that not one is white.
We have followed the violence in the mythical “Rainbow Nation” for years, see our complete archive here.
