After slashing funding for programs that documented atrocities and protected human rights abroad, President Donald Trump’s State Department is now granting one of its first new human rights awards to a controversial South African organization that promotes the disputed notion that white farmers are a violently targeted, persecuted group, according to multiple sources knowledgeable about the funding.

    I think it’s the reverse.

    Man, with America people tend to ignore that the "Golden Age" was also the height of segregation but there's just no way to take that that sign is anything but a call for the return of apartheid, huh?

    Not that MAGA scum cares about consistency, but if brown immigrants don't belong in Europe and the US and violent removal is justified, then whites don't belong in South Africa and violent removal is justified.

    I happen to know people that seem to express high levels of concern for xtians being targeted in Africa for being killed, too.

    They also seem to believe that (white) South Africans need refugee status.

    So maybe these things track together?

    This entire trope reliably gives me a splitting headache.

    For those of you that want to know the truth about South Africa's (so-called) "white genocide," this is essentially the last thing you'll ever need to read about it.

    Think about it this way... if "dear leader" had spent that $1 million buying the world's ugliest chihuahua, you'd at least have the world's ugliest chihuahua to show for it.

    Thank you, good night, I'm off to go take an overdose of aspirin.
