"The racism dog whistle here is a bullhorn." Trump said he wants a refugee policy in America's interest, which just happens to be nobody except...white South Africans? @timmiller.bsky.social:

I believe that it is now more important than ever that white folks stand up and speak out against this. If a minority speaks out it will be dismissed as “woke nonsense” but if conservative coded white folk speak out, it becomes politically risky. This is plain racism. It must be called out as such.
But this lines up with your bullshit op-ed that Dems should appeal to “moderate voters” by accepting racism and throwing minority demographics under the bus.
#Trump has been using racist dog whistles since he jumped on the “birther” accusation against President Barack Obama. Unfortunately, Republicans for decades have used racism as an undertone of their elections before Goldwater’s “Southern Strategy.”
Remember in Trump’s first term, he wanted more people from Norway and other predominantly white nations. Now it’s Afrikaner’s
Think Musk played a role.
Does anyone else remember the world’s sanctions against South Africa over Apartheid in the late 1980’s-1990’s? The US banned South Africans from employment in the US. To hurt the Afrikaans? No, the blacks South Africans were also included in the ban. It’s just racism and nationalism turned fascism
Prioritizing white South African landowners who got rich off apartheid while ignoring Afghan refugees who risked their lives for the U.S. military is outrageous. Prioritizing those who exploited apartheid is a slap in the face to justice.
US has no direct flights to
Kabul, so guessing extradition would require military aircraft? Also wondering how, if so many soldiers believe they owe a debt of honor to the Afghanis who risked their lives for the USA, there might be some, let’s say, obstacles to achieving these removals? Just saying.
It almost appears compassionate until you look at at all the hate spewed out by this administration toward anyone who is non-white, Latino, or Islamic.
Don’t forget Ukrainians. They are super white yet get beat down with a stick from their trumpists. Seems they have to be aggrieved whites not in any actual danger to get refugee status.
When Trump sends his people, he's not sending his best. He's sending people that have lots of problems, and he's bringing those problems to us. He's bringing pro-colonialists. He's bringing racists. And some, I assume, are good people."
