Cracks Are Showing in Trump’s Special ‘Refugee’ Program for Afrikaners
"According to a recent Reuters report, four South Africans who arrived this year in the US have since returned. According to reports on YouTube, another family of nine who were resettled in Florida have expressed willingness to go back to South Africa rather than put up with the problems they are facing in their new home."

🇿🇦 **Can Black South Africans be Afrikaners?**
"_There are millions of Coloured and Black South Africans who speak Afrikaans as their first language. They share the same taal, eat the same food, tell the same jokes. The numbers tell their own story: today, roughly six in ten Afrikaans speakers in South Africa are Black or Coloured._
_Yet historically, they’ve been excluded from the Afrikaner identity by those who insisted it was defined by race as much as culture._"

A prominent group of Afrikaners has formally rejected Trump’s false claims of "white genocide" in South Africa, calling on U.S. senators to challenge his misinformation. Comprising writers, academics, and descendants of apartheid-era figures, they argue white Afrikaners face no "existential threat" and urge global leaders to speak out against Trump's misinformation. Sending an open letter titled "Not in Our Name," they hope to influence Democratic senators, especially amid the Trump administration’s plan to prioritize white Afrikaners in refugee policies. Will this rebuttal impact U.S.-South Africa relations?

But for #white farmers who remain in #SouthAfrica & aspire to keep making a living from the land, the #tariffs due to come into effect on Aug 1 are an assault on those ambitions.
"It doesn't make sense to us to welcome South African farmers in America & then the rest that stays behind...to punish them," said Krisjan Mouton, a 6th-generation farmer in Western Cape province's citrus heartland.

"I saw the murderous effects of the idolatries of race and ethnicity up close as a teenager active in the struggle against apartheid in 1980s South Africa and again as an interpreter for the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission in the 1990s."
We have not learned, many of us, from dismal history because many of us do not WANT to learn.

"Some of the desires that motivate the common life of humans are so fierce they might be gods. The ferocity with which such wild wants are pursued can make this earth a hell. Throughout human history few idols drew forth as great a degree of fanaticism as have kinship (real or imagined)."

"This heresy [of Christian nationalism] holds that, in the age after the Easter resurrection of Christ, God blesses chosen nations with covenants and bestows privileges upon certain persons on the bases of ethnicity and race. ...
Contrary to what I believed for the past three decades, the heart of Christian nationalism still beats in 2025. And the powers it animates today are far greater than the powers it animated in 1995."

"I had imagined that the struggle against Christian nationalism—including my own struggle—ended in victory on June 24, 1995. Now, thirty years later, the Trump administration's new agenda, itself animated by the same nationalistic heresy that once coursed through South African apartheid, has laid my naivety bare."

Writing as a South African native, Gideon Strauss says that he had thought the back of (white) Christian nationalism had been broken when white supremacist Afrikaners had to accept the full humanity and rights of their black fellow citizens.
But he was wrong. Trump has revived and exploited white Christian nationalism and is making it a potent force in the world today again:

"What Trump is doing goes far beyond a publicity stunt designed to humiliate the president of South Africa. We cannot be naive about and should not participate in the sinister, counter-historical master narrative the Trump administration is weaving: that 'dead white people,' killed by Black and brown people, are the world’s most pressing problem."

Joy-Ann Reid reveals shocking disparities in the Trump administration's refugee policies. While the program was largely curtailed for most, preferential treatment was given to Afrikaners, linked to racial narratives pushed by influential figures. Critics highlight the historical injustices tied to these actions, alongside the backlash from organizations like the Episcopal Church.

White South Africans have arrived at Dulles as *#refugees* under #Trump order
A group of nearly 50 #White #SouthAfricans landed at Dulles International Airport on Monday as refugees, coming to the US under a humanitarian designation meant for people fleeing war or persecution that the Trump admin has suspended for all other groups worldwide.

In addition to ties w/ #DesmondTutu, the #EpiscopalChurch has a long history of advocating against #apartheid in #SouthAfrica. It first began altering its financial holdings in the region in 1966, & by the mid-1980s, the church voted to divest from companies doing business in South Africa.
Rowe noted his announcement comes as the #Trump admin has otherwise all but frozen the #refugee program, w/ #Afrikaners among the few—& possibly only—people granted entry as #refugees since Jan.

The request, Rowe said, crossed a #moral line for the #EpiscopalChurch, which is part of the global Anglican Communion that boasts among its leaders the late Archbishop #DesmondTutu, a celebrated & vocal opponent of #apartheid in #SouthAfrica.
