Unfortunately for the NAACP, the supply of actual racism in America does not meet the demand. And while they are busy accusing Elon Musk of racism, environmental or otherwise, they are conveniently forgetting some facts. Musk's xAI facility is a roughly $12 billion investment in the city. It is believed that investment will create thousands of jobs in tech, engineering, construction, and other fields. You would think the NAACP would champion those high-paying jobs in a nearby black community. But sadly, for the very community the NAACP claims to care about, the race industry may be more profitable.

This is the status of our press corps today. They need to come out and refute the words of Donald Trump, at all costs – even if those refutations support inhuman activity, contradict their own reporting, and the cost is their own credibility.

In February, Trump issued an executive order freezing aid to South Africa and giving Afrikaners refugee status in the U.S.

Afrikaners are a white ethnic group with primarily Dutch ancestry. Many are farmers. Trump said in the meeting that white farmers are having their homes burned, their farms seized, and have either been killed or fear for their lives.

South Africa passed a law that allows the government to take land from farmers without compensation.

The Washington Post minimized the deaths of white farmers, saying violence in South Africa is not isolated to rural areas and not only against white people. Apparently if one group is victimized, then another group is victimized, none of the victimization matters. //

During Wednesday’s Oval Office meeting, filled with members of the media, Trump said Ramaphosa called him and asked for the meeting. After brief conversation, a reporter asked Trump what it would take to convince him that there’s no white genocide in South Africa.

Trump said the administration has heard thousands of stories about violence against white farmers. Then he had the lights dimmed and showed Ramaphosa videos of people in South Africa calling for the killing of white farmers.

In the video, Julius Malema, leader of the Marxist Economic Freedom Fighter Party, led a violent chant inside a large stadium , as supporters danced and chanted along.

“Shoot to kill the farmer! Go after the white man! You are going to run, white farmer.” The video ended with cars lined up on a desolate road with some 1,000 crosses lining the road, each representing a dead farmer, Trump relayed. In the cars were family members there to mourn.

Ramaphosa asked where the line of cars was, saying he had never seen it before.

Next there was silence in the room for about 40 seconds.

Silence is a powerful moment in negotiation. Whoever breaks silence first loses. Trump told Ramaphosa before the troubling video that he wanted to know what he had to say about it. Now a pall fell over the room as everyone, the president, the media, the world waited for Ramaphosa to speak.

And the loser was: NBC’s Peter Alexander, who broke the silence, changed the topic, and ruined the moment, but saved Ramaphosa.

“Mr. President, the Pentagon announced they would be accepting a Qatari jet to be used as Air Force One —”

Trump cut him off, saying the jet was a great thing.

“We’re talking about a lot of other things here. This is NBC trying to get off the subject of what you just saw,” Trump said. //

Ramaphosa said the U.S. could help with resources so the government can respond to the violence but did not specify if he wanted money or equipment.

He is asking for aid to combat violence the propaganda press says doesn’t exist.

President Donald Trump assaulted the media’s narrative denying the legitimacy of South Africans’ refugee claims on Wednesday, playing video evidence that detailed the ongoing racial violence and threats against white South African farmers.

During a meeting in the Oval Office, Trump ordered the lights dimmed before airing a five-minute video showing, in part, populist leader Julius Malema calling for the murder of South Africa’s white community.

What President Donald Trump did in the Oval Office with the President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, was astonishing.

We hear people talk all the time about how, when we're talking with foreign nations, we should be pressing on human rights. Well, we got that, big time, from Trump, when he cornered the South African leader, lowering the lights and treating him to a video of evidence of the issues in his country. There wouldn't be a better time to do it, to promote change. The South African leader is there because he wants things. That's the time to say, okay, you want things, so do we, we want you to do something about what's going on.

This moment was interesting as Trump says he hadn't made up his mind yet on whether to term what's happening as "genocide," with President Ramaphosa at his shoulder. //

If it's not a genocide today, Jennings asked, how many more do we want to let get murdered before we're satisfied with the terminology? And it was a "boss move" for Jennings to note this, even as CNN was trying to call what Trump said "unsubstantiated" in the chyron underneath.

“These are people that, on the basis of their race, are having their properties taken away from them and their lives are being threatened and in some cases k*lled."

"We've often been lectured by people all over the place about how the United States needs to continue to be a beacon for those who are oppressed abroad. Well, here's an example where we're doing that.". //

Why can't we just quote the text of our own law on asylum? That is:

8 U.S. Code § 1158 - Asylum
(B) Burden of proof
(i) In general

The burden of proof is on the applicant to establish that the applicant is a refugee, within the meaning of section 1101(a)(42)(A) of this title. To establish that the applicant is a refugee within the meaning of such section, the applicant must establish that race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion was or will be at least one central reason for persecuting the applicant.

There are few people admitted to this country in the last 40 years that satisfy the letter of the US' asylum law, the S. African people are surely qualified to make that claim. Whilst, people that are fleeing poverty, crime, or just a bad marriage or their mother-in-laws don't qualify for asylum.

All the moral talk of giving justice to the persecuted, helping the helpless, liberating the oppressed — it only ever goes one way. //

In the Biden era, we saw about infinity pseudo-refugees stream across the southern border from every corner of the third world. “Give us your poor, huddled masses, yearning to be free,” the Democrats chanted, as they called us callous racists for daring to suggest their professed humanitarianism was anything but. Yet in the Trump era, all it took was a handful of Afrikaners to lay the real intent of their immigration program bare.

The lib-left establishment isn’t pro-migrant, and they’re certainly not concerned with taking in genuine refugees fleeing political violence. They’re just anti-white. //

In some cases, the media has worked to dig into the refugees’ backgrounds in order to paint them as villains, while others simply said the quiet part out loud: “These [Afrikaners] are the descendants of the people who created the most diabolical system of white supremacy . . . so actually, there’s no injustice here,” said MSNBC’s Rick Stengel. //

South Africa was meant to serve as a post-racial ideal in the age of American hegemony. The apartheid system fell in 1990, “truth and reconciliation” flooded through the country, and a racially unified order was said to have emerged from the ashes. Yet forever committed to this rosy fantasy, the left refuses to acknowledge just how far it’s devolved.

But was this ever an honest ideal? Or was it always just a cover for a politics of disfigured resentment, where the left’s political allies, the “oppressed,” rise to dominate their enemies?

With this week’s mask-off moment, we have even more proof of the latter. All the moral talk of giving justice to the persecuted, helping the helpless, liberating the oppressed — it only ever goes one way: towards the interests of groups imagined to be permanently oppressed, even as they themselves become the oppressor. When these high-minded principles are revealed to be unequally applied, it shows they were never really principles at all.

It’s too simple to say the left is just anti-white; it’s more than that. They are anti-Western, against the very foundation of Western civilization they seek to supplant in the name of a Communist utopia where they hold the power. //

Millions of unassimilated third-worlders are fine because they erode millennia of our culture, customs, and history. Yet people who would honor and further those traditions? Well, that cuts to the core of the leftist political project.

The Great Replacement is real. All it took was a few dozen white refugees to prove it.

This part right here means "they got away before we had a chance to get our revenge and punish them"

What the instigators of this falsehood seek is not safety, but impunity from transformation. They flee not from persecution, but from justice, equality, and accountability for historic privilege.
8:06 AM · May 13, 2025

Reading that sent a chill down my spine. These are people whose ancestors have been in South Africa for nearly half a millennium. They are as much South Africans as black Americans are Americans, which is to say, fully. To claim they are fleeing "transformation" while citing "justice" and "accountability for historic privilege" is terrifyingly Orwellian. Everyone knows exactly what that means, which is the continued ethnic cleansing that has been endorsed by South Africa's ruling party.

At this point, the United States should not even consider reopening diplomatic ties with South Africa (the ambassador to the U.S. was expelled in March). The Trump administration should likewise pressure Europe into speaking out or face consequences. They have sat idly by, ignoring the forcible seizure of land and extra-judicial killings committed under the guise of punishing "historic privilege" simply because it's been coming from an African government.

In a recent piece for National Review, John Yoo and Robert Delahunty argue the Trump administration is justified in challenging Harvard’s tax-exempt status. Citing the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Bob Jones University v. the United States (1983), the authors point to precedent establishing university policies “contrary to a fundamental public policy” and in violation of “deeply and widely accepted views of elementary justice” constitute grounds for revoking 501(c)(3) status.

It can be added that the administration is on solid ground in stripping funding from Harvard under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bars institutions receiving federal assistance from discriminating on the basis of race, color, or national origin. That action was recently taken in response to Harvard’s rejection of the Trump administration’s settlement proposal following its investigation of Harvard’s failure to protect Jewish students from targeted harassment and violence. The terms of the settlement included several reforms, the most controversial of which required Harvard to take reasonable action to address rampant viewpoint discrimination against conservative-leaning students and faculty.

For Yoo and Delahunty, this minimally proscriptive requirement (asking Harvard to consult with an external party of its choosing) is a bridge too far as it “seem[s] to fall outside the mandate of a national government whose only true power here is to end racial discrimination and ensure that its grant recipients obey the Constitution and federal law.” //

First, consider that Yoo and Delahunty warn of a potential return to abusive diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. The argument that conservatives should be careful not to go too far lest leftists reciprocate would carry more weight had leftists not already gone deep into that territory. That ship has sailed.

As sure as the sun rises in the east, the next leftist presidential administration will work to roll back the Trump administration’s civil rights reforms. The right’s newfound willingness to employ the potent tools of the civil rights state does not constitute the end of the left’s willingness to do the same. Rather, it means a formerly one-way, left-only ratchet now operates bidirectionally. //

The Trump administration should act boldly, as its rivals have acted before and will act again. It should wield its civil rights authorities to replace the left’s outcomes-based (“equity”) spoils system with one rooted in the principles of color-blind meritocracy.

This leads to the second problem with Yoo and Delahunty’s take: Although viewpoint discrimination is not prohibited under civil rights law, there is a clear connection between an aggressive left-wing campus monoculture and tolerance of campus antisemitism. The core tenets of the dominant “woke” paradigm cast Jews as “oppressors” by virtue of their success and proximity to whites. The institutionalization of this paradigm in higher education contributes to an astonishing two-thirds of 18-to-24-year-olds now asserting that Jews as a “class are oppressors.”

The Trump administration is right to hold Harvard accountable, not only for its toleration of antisemitism but also for the full range of civil rights violations it inflicts on students, faculty, and staff. It should aggressively wield its authorities to address rampant viewpoint discrimination at elite universities, understanding that such discrimination is intimately related to other forms of discrimination explicitly prohibited under federal law.

The Episcopal Church, after decades of shifting stances on the cause of life, the ordination of women, and the embrace of the LGBTQ+ and transgender agenda, now has a moral line—and Trump has crossed it. Because of this move by the Trump administration to welcome 49 white South African families to America as refugees, the Episcopal Church has chosen to shutter its 40-year-long Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM). It seems that white South Africans do not fit the definition of those needing help fleeing "persecution in their own lands, to find compassion and welcome here."

So much for mercy to the stranger. For the Episcopalians, white refugees are the wrong cause, the wrong race, and definitely welcomed by the wrong administration.

This isn't about acceptance, starting conversations, or expressions of diversity. None of these in-your-face "art projects" ever are, particularly when they come in statue form.

This isn't a conversation piece, it's a declaration of power. This isn't a celebration of inclusivity; it's a conqueror's flag planted in a place where they know it will get attention. If this statue had popped up in the middle of a museum or some small park somewhere, the attention it got would be minimal. Putting it in the middle of Times Square is a statement.

But this isn't a statement about how fat black women are taking over. That identity is just a mask.

The statue is representational of leftism through the thing it considers more important than anything else, and that's identity. The statue is female, obese, and black, representing three identity markers that leftists consider "protected." Fat black women are generally considered at the top of the identity food chain according to leftists, and putting a statue of one in such a prominent place isn't some passing statement. It's a declaration of ideological superiority.

Think of it this way. If the city weren't so entrenched in leftism, do you think Thomas Jefferson would have been removed? Do you think this statue would have gone up? I don't see them appearing in any official capacity in right-leaning areas. This is a reminder and overt statement that this area — this city — is occupied. //

I look at this Statue I’ve seen that stance before. It’s right before she starts throwing anything she can find at the fast food restaurant she is in at the worker across the counter because they ran out of bbq or ranch dressing.

The Urban Institute, a centrist think tank focused on societal data, has noted that when inclusion of outside factors such as economic strata transpires, the state boasting of the highest test scores in 2024 for fourth graders in both math and reading is ... drum roll, please ...

... Mississippi. //

The Mississippi Department of Education seeks to create a world-class educational system that gives students the knowledge and skills to be successful in college and in the workforce, and to flourish as parents and citizens. To make this vision a reality, all students must be given multiple pathways to success, and teachers and administrators must continue to meet the challenges of this ever-changing landscape of public education. //

This demands self-discipline and the ability to understand that there are absolute, automatic answers to many life situations, which leads to math. The math-trained mind has the capacity to approach the complex, multi-layered factors inherent in functions required for successful adulthood, such as logically running a business. Balancing the need to control expenses while taking on the calculated risks needed for a company to expand requires a firm grasp of the absolutes learned through no other method than applying time-honored and time-tested mathematical principles. As the truism says, if your outgo exceeds your income, your upkeep will be your downfall.

Additionally (no pun intended), the math-trained mind understands that the colorblind, genderless world of numbers and calculations demonstrates true equality in a manner no puffed-up imagined realm of pseudo-intellectual superiority can evoke. The “progressive” mentality secretly abhors equality, as it shows that when provided equal resources and instruction in life’s mechanics, the artificial barriers of race and gender melt away. It also demonstrates the logical next step of uncovering the soft bigotry of low expectations combined with laying bare the thin veneer of deep racism held by those who, in their self-righteousness and desire to play God, act as though they are the living embodiment of Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation by behaving as the betters of those they claim to uplift.

The sense of entitlement here is just disgusting. First of all, it's absolutely clear that the U.S. Supreme Court has already held that a charitable organization, including specifically a university, can lose its tax-exempt status if they are violating fundamental policy

The reality here is that elite universities are undermining confidence in the entire sector. Jewish students are being harassed and assaulted, and elite university administrators have done nothing to stop it, including at Harvard. Financial incentives seem to be the only lever that we can pull to stop the racist and anti-Semitic conduct on their campuses.

Goldfeder was referencing a 1983 case in which the Supreme Court ruled 8-1 that the IRS had authority to deny tax-exempt status to Bob Jones University, Goldsboro Christian School, and other private and religious schools with racially discriminatory educational policies. //

Levin continued:

You have Jewish kids on campus who are being violently threatened, who are being harmed, in some cases running for their safety. That is very serious. If we had black kids on campus running for their safety, locking themselves in libraries, locking themselves in dorm rooms ... you'd be hearing very different stories than you hear from this guy with a smirk on his face. //

The holding in the 1983 Bob Jones case is not limited to just interracial dating. It is not that narrow. The SCOTUS held that an IRS 501c3 org "must serve a public purpose and not be contrary to established public policy" and that racially discriminatory conduct was against public policy. To the extent that public universities are found to be following racially discriminatory policies, it is perfectly within SCOTUS precedent to revoke their 501c3 status.

President Trump has struck a devastating blow at the legal theory that drives most of the race-centric litigation in the country. In his executive order entitled “Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy,” which aims to “eliminate the use of disparate-impact liability in all contexts to the maximum degree possible,” Trump orders the full weight of the federal government directed toward eradicating and what is essentially the racist contention that Black men and women are at a disadvantage when a race-neutral standard is used.

"Disparate impact" is a great example of how legislative authority devolved into an unelected bureaucracy making up rules to please interest groups with no reasonable basis in law.

The Civil Rights Act banned discrimination “because of” race, sex, and other prohibited characteristics. That language was written, intended, and understood at the time to outlaw intentional discrimination. Practices that had a dramatically unequal outcome on different groups might be supporting evidence of intentional discrimination, but nothing in the statute made it a substitute for proving discrimination. Other statutes written in that era, such as the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) and the Fair Housing Act of 1968 (FHA), contained similar language.

As Justice Clarence Thomas has observed, “The author of disparate-impact liability under Title VII was not Congress, but the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).” The EEOC’s leaders felt that Congress had passed a “compromise” statute and that, through “creative interpretation,” it could be expanded to reach any practice that produced unequal outcomes. Deference to the EEOC’s position led the Supreme Court to adopt the disparate impact theory under Title VII in 1971, and later to engraft it upon the ADEA and the FHA, the latter in a 5–4 decision in 2015 from which Thomas, Justice Samuel Alito, and Chief Justice John Roberts all dissented. Trump’s executive order quotes the chief justice’s own words in another case: “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.”

It is really hard to explain how evil the "disparate impact" theory is. This is from Heather MacDonald writing in City Journal:

"Disparate-impact theory holds that if a neutral, colorblind standard of achievement or behavior has a disproportionately negative effect on underrepresented minorities (overwhelmingly, on blacks), it violates civil rights laws. It has been used to invalidate literacy and numeracy standards for police officers and firemen, cognitive skills and basic knowledge tests for teachers, the use of SATs in college admissions, the use of grades for medical licensing exams, credit-based mortgage lending, the ability to discipline insubordinate students, and criminal background checks for employees and renters. It has been used to eliminate prosecution for a large range of crimes, including shoplifting, turnstile jumping, and resisting arrest; to end police tactics such as proactive stops (otherwise known as stop, question, and frisk); and to purge safety technologies like ShotSpotter and speeding cameras from police departments.". //

This is the actual institutional racism the community organizers have been screaming about...

Black people aren't inherently violent, but they do have an overwhelming amount of fatherlessness in their communities. With a father-shaped negative space in so many lives, it shouldn't be any wonder why so many in the black community are destabilized, and thus destabilizing everything around them.

This is a cultural matter for the black community that's only reinforced with government rewards. Welfare even goes so far as to disincentivize marriage by reducing benefits if there is a father present, effectively making it more lucrative to be a single mother. It should be the opposite. Tax benefits should be given to rewarding nuclear families.

Moreover, in our greater cultural zeitgeist, fathers are considered an afterthought, or unnecessary altogether. It's pretty clear that this has been severely damaging to society overall, but it's been particularly hard on the black community. Fathers should be looked at as integral. The presence of a masculine figure and the effect they can have on a young life should be seen as essential.

I'm not entirely sure how things change without changes to how we reward and encourage fatherlessness. Until we do differently, the black community will continue to be plagued with violence and crime, especially toward each other. //

There's a common thread here that isn't being addressed, and that's the lack of masculine influence. In other words, the black community is plagued with fatherless homes. According to the Census Bureau, in 2023, 54 percent of black children live with a mother only.

I think you forgot an important word there, that being the word 'positive'. Young "Black" men are awash in masculine influence, but most of it comes from very negative sources. And that may well be due to a lack of fathers in their homes. But we shouldn't pretend that Karmelo Anthony wasn't being exactly the kind of masculine man his upbringing taught him and so many others like him to be. Modern "Black" culture admires and aspires to thug life, and having Dad around doesn't help when he's a thug too. //

Through the 19th century, successive waves of poor ethnic immigrants climbed out of the slums, through family cohesion and education. Irish, German, etc. all managed it. Blacks were held back by being more obvious even than readheaded Irish. But they made progress, especially once some of their culture started to be embraced during the Jazz Age. Progress was slow, for a variety of reasons, but it was there.

And then in the mid 1960’s Progressive policies devastated the Black family and destroyed the public school systems.

I’m not insisting that it’s deliberate. But if it isn’t, it’s hard to see how it could have been made intentionally worse.

The regulation, known as the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule, was allegedly based on a provision of the 1968 Fair Housing Act. I say "allegedly" because that portion of the law is anodyne and aspirational, not a call for federal nannyism. //

The 2015 rules required cities and towns, in order to receive funding from HUD to document patterns of racial bias in their neighborhoods, to publicly report the results every three to five years, and to set and track goals to reduce segregation. Under the new rules, any jurisdiction that receives money from HUD must analyze its housing occupancy by race, disability, familial status, economic status, English proficiency, and other categories. It must then analyze factors which contribute to any prohibitive barriers in housing and formulate a plan to remedy the impediments. //

In my view, the rule had three functions. First and foremost, it used awarding Community Development Block Grants to allow advocacy groups to control all zoning decisions. Communities knew if they went against advocacy groups, they would face loss of funds and probably a costly court battle. Second, it was a way of declaring war on established communities and neighborhoods by using their demographics as a way of forcing the construction of no- or low-income housing units. Third, it was another way that the federal bureaucracy could be weaponized to punish political opponents by using lawfare. Oh, it also provided guaranteed employment for a consultant class that could be hired to help communities navigate the rule and its interpretations. //

So, a costly and destructive rule has been sent to the scrap heap. But we can't rest on our laurels. Just as Trump took down the Obama rule, Biden replaced it. We have to create a regulatory web that will take decades to unravel to prevent this kind of nonsense from happening again and shrink government so that even if a future administration wanted to create the rule, they wouldn't be able to enforce it. Yes, it would be easier for Congress to amend the Fair Housing Act, but I stopped believing in leprechauns a long time ago.

Vought has also been a behind-the-scenes leader in opposing critical race theory in churches and school boards and has openly supported forms of Christian nationalism. ///

This is bad?

It is unclear what impact this will have on South Africa. My guess is that Ramaphosa will double down with his racism and fascism as that is all any of the major South African parties seem capable of offering. The one part of this that is deadly serious is the invitation for Afrikaners to emigrate. If a large number of them start looking for the exits, and I'm not enough of an authority on that country to hazard a guess because the Afrikaners have been in southern South Africa longer than the current Black population, the economic impact will be extreme. Rhodesia was a major food exporter. However, Zimbabwe, after land confiscation much like that envisioned by South Africa, is an economic and agricultural basket case.

Quite honestly, it is really about time the West started treating South Africa like the Third World s*** hole that it is. It has dined out on the legend of Nelson Mandela for thirty years while engaging in behavior much more oppressive than that of the government it replaced. Moral cowardice by the West has allowed brutality and corruption to flourish. Hopefully, those days are over for the United States. //

Former South African here (I am not white and I grew up under apartheid). I am about the same age as Elon Musk and I came to the United States for college (when I was 18). Your article is very accurate. After the euphoria of Mandela being released and having elections where all people could vote, the country just went downhill. The corruption is insane ... and it is open and blatant. And the rate of violent crime skyrocketed. Everyone knew someone who had been murdered. And rapes also increased. The government scapegoated the white racists, of course. Those who could leave the country did so. But a lot of people could not afford to leave. And everyone lives in a state of fear. Add to that, there are massive power shortages largely due to mismanagement and corruption. The country has something called "load shedding" where they have scheduled blackouts just about every week. As to the point of Afrikaner migration ... a lot of Afrikaners work on American farms under the farm guest worker program. The Afrikaners used to be the vilified group because of apartheid. But, just like in America, things went too far and the white oppressors were replaced by the black oppressors (as South Africans like to say). The Afrikaners have been vilified and persecuted for the last 30 years. And I am sure Elon Musk knows all about this and has shared his insights with DJT.
