President Donald Trump’s promotion of a white nationalist conspiracy theory involving South Africa prompted fierce backlash there Thursday and fresh criticism in the United States that he is compromising American foreign policy to stoke his far-right political base.
Former U.S. diplomats and South African leaders denounced Trump’s declaration in a tweet late Wednesday that he had instructed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to monitor the “large scale killing” of white farmers and the government’s expropriations of their land.
White nationalist groups have for years spread false claims about the murder rates, which have been widely debunked. Local police data show the number of people murdered on farms has dropped by half over the past two decades – from 140 in 2001-2002 to 74 in 2016-2017, according to the Associated Press.
Trump‘s tweet appeared to come in response to a segment on Fox News in which host Tucker Carlson railed against a plan from South Africa‘s ruling party to pursue constitutional changes allowing the government to redistribute land without compensation. The measure is designed to redress racial inequalities that have persisted nearly a quarter-century after the end of apartheid in 1994....

What on Earth is the “Essex Caller?”
A new version of the Berkeley Barb?

One name.....Amy Biehl.
but it’s OK for the Blacks to Exterminate the Whites ?
Does anyone even realize all this is a reaction to Trump simply asking his SecState to study the situation?
Unhinged
70 per year, 47 so far this year. All white. By black.
That’s a pattern of widespread killing.
And it’s been going on for decades in a country 1/6 the population of the US.
Like the black government of South Africa calling for confiscation of white owned land and white genocide?
All the information you need to know is right there.
Criticals are liberals.
Liberals are dumb*asses.
Ergo.... (fill it in, you liberal dumb*asses).
Maybe so, but it is black on black genocide: Abortions, and shootings.
I supposed the WaPo will next call PM May a ‘conspiracy theorist’?
“Critics” = low IQ, marshmallow majors, never really qualified for a real university dorks. Those clowns couldn’t make a light bulb light, given the bulb, wires, plug, and a life electrical socket.
Sorry, but “critics” are jokes.

says it all - as if WaPo needs a new mouthpiece
Well I’m sure there will be proper hand wringing by all after the genocide, and then starvation in SA.
Oops, too much single malt. That’s “live electrical socket”. I made an Obama there Ya know, 57 states, etc. It’s gotta be Trump’s fault.
The best solution is to simply divide the country in half. Let the whites have the Western half; the blacks the Eastern one. Give the whites arms to protect themselves.
And for you FReepers about to chime in saying whites should leave, no they shouldn't. They shouldn't go anywhere. SA is their home too. They've been part of SA since the 1400s.
Leave it to the commie press to claim racism where it isn’t and claim it not where it is.
