It’s rather sad when people who should have left the spotlight years ago suddenly pop up and say ridiculous things, but it seems to happen frequently. Recently Al Sharpton spoke out against President Trump’s plan to grant asylum to refugees from South Africa who are in danger of being murdered for their farms. I understand that racism has been a problem in South Africa for a long time, but that does not justify murdering people because they own farms that have been in their family for generations. Unfortunately, the way the current laws in that country are written, penalties for murdering farmers are rare and lenient. The government of the country is essentially destroying any semblance of justice within the country.<\/p>\n
On May 11, Red State<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n In January 2025, President Cyril Ramaphosa signed South Africa\u2019s Expropriation Act 13 of 2024<\/a>. It allows expropriation (seizure) of land without compensation. The law mandates \u201cjust and equitable\u201d compensation in most cases, with judicial oversight for disputes.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Ahh, “equitable.” As we’ve learned all too well, for the Democrat Party, “equity” \u2014 along with “inclusion” \u2014 doesn’t mean to the left what it means to the rest of us, or what it means in the dictionary.<\/strong><\/p>\n In the wake of South Africa’s Expropriation Act, the Trump administration announced plans to bring more than 50 white Afrikaners to the United States, starting on Monday, saying they are “victims of unjust racial discrimination.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Senior Trump advisor Stephen Miller told reporters<\/a> on Friday:<\/strong><\/p>\n What\u2019s happening in South Africa fits the textbook definition of why the refugee program was created. This is persecution based on a protected characteristic \u2014 in this case, race. This is race-based persecution.<\/strong><\/p>\n Unfortunate to Al Sharpton, race-based persecution only matters when it is in one direction.<\/p>\n Red State reports:<\/p>\n Sharpton promptly and predictably trotted out his special kind of willfull ignorance over the administration’s plan, absurdly contrasting it with President Donald Trump’s “mass deportation” of “the worst of the worst” illegal aliens \u2014 most of whom easily crossed the Southern Border during Joe Biden’s disastrous presidency \u2014 who had committed violent crimes in their respective countries or origin, including murder, rape, and child molestation.<\/strong><\/p>\n …The white Afrikaners applied for asylum and Trump granted it, Al.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Is the difference between people who legally apply for asylum\u00a0<\/em>based on valid reasons<\/em> and people who illegally enter the U.S<\/em>. really that hard to understand? No. Add in proven past criminal actions and convictions, and Sharpton looks even worse, if that’s even possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n Mr. Sharpton, it is time to leave the stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s rather sad when people who should have left the spotlight years ago suddenly pop up and say ridiculous things, but it seems to happen frequently.
