Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
Two days ago, President Donald Trump tweeted about South Africa.
He asked his Secretary of State to study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large-scale killing of farmers.
Then he mentioned Fox News and Tucker Carlson because Mr. Carlson had mentioned in a broadcast that South Africa has officially begun to take land from whites.
Now, it's already been widely reported that South Africa is changing its constitution to make it legal to take land from whites without compensation.
And there is no doubt that many hundreds of white South African farmers have been murdered, often tortured to death.
So, how did the representatives of American respectability react to the president's tweet?
They said it made him sound like a racist.
Here's a collection.
Of Twitter users with the blue checkmark.
Public figures.
Kenichi Serino says, Jessica Schulberg says, Aaron Sankin says, Amanda Marcotte says Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump are just channeling Stormfront.
And Marjorie Aziza says Mr. Trump is stumping for the continuation of white supremacy in South Africa.
The Daily Intelligencer says that Trump echoes neo-Nazi propaganda.
And Bloomberg says Trump misleads again.
And the dear old New York Times ran this headline.
Trump's South Africa tweet seems to embrace racist narrative on land dispute.
The story also quotes an Obama administration figure saying that Mr. Trump is, quote, trafficking in a white supremacist storyline.
Jennifer Williams at Vox wrote a whole article about, and I quote, Trump's tweet echoing white nationalist propaganda.
She says this South Africa stuff is just a Quote, conspiracy theory that is a major talking point for white nationalists and neo-Nazis.
But then she made an astonishing concession.
Whether or not it's actually true is irrelevant.
Well, thank you, Jennifer, for getting it right, because it makes no difference if what we say is true.
Whatever we say, true or not, is immoral simply because we say it, because of who we are.
It's just like the murder of Kate Steinle by an illegal, or the killing of Justine Daymond by a Somali police officer, or the fact that some of the illegals are rapists and murderers, or that there's much more black on white than white on black crime.
If the wrong people talk about it, then no one should talk about it.
But of course, the media themselves talk about South Africa.
South Africa's ANC to amend constitution to allow land expropriation.
Even the relentlessly liberal Newsweek admits South African white farmers' land to be seized.
The constitution is not yet officially amended, but the fun has already begun.
Here is the Daily Express headline from just the day before Mr. Trump's tweet.
South Africa farm seizures begin.
Chaos. As first expropriation of white-owned farms starts, is the Daily Express channeling Stormfront 2?
And farmers are being murdered.
The only question is how many and whether the government looks the other way.
The earlier story from the New York Times says it thinks there were only 47 farm murders this year, down from 66 the year before and well down from a high of 153 in 1998.
But it also notes...
That Cali Creel of Afriforum, the main advocacy group for Afrikaners, says the numbers are vastly underreported.
Well, who's right?
News Corp Australia sent its chief reporter to South Africa and found that farmers are being murdered at a rate of more than one per week and that last year more than 400 were attacked.
The Daily Mail reports that white farmers may be four times more likely to be murdered than other South Africans on average.
But even if farmers were no more likely to be killed than other South Africans, don't forget, they live way out in the country where violence is traditionally low.
Over the years, they have built up elaborate security systems, hired special guards, and are in constant touch with each other about potential threats.
How many farm murders would it take for the New York Times not to think that only racists should worry about them?
Aren't they the no-child-left-behind people?
The people who think that every microaggression permanently damages a person of color?
But we're not supposed to worry about another dead farmer every few days?
South Africans worry all right.
That was what this massive protest last year that shut down major highways was all about.
And horrific torture is a routine part of these murders.
I won't reproduce the sickening photos you can actually find of South African whites who've been tied up and raped and tortured for hours, their skin burned off with blowtorches, drowned in scalding water, skinned alive, beaten to death over days.
But only Nazis could care about that, right?
And there are blacks who hint very broadly that mass murder is exactly What they want.
Julius Malema is leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters, the third largest political party in the country.
Here is what he thinks.
I don't know what's going to happen in the future.
I'm saying to you, we've not called for the killing of white people, at least for now.
I can't guarantee the future.
Yeah, but I mean, you'd understand somebody watching that, especially as it gets shared on Twitter, they freak out.
It sounds like a genocidal cult.
Ah, cried babies.
At mass rallies, he has bragged about cutting the throat of whiteness while making a cutting gesture, and the enormous crowd cheers.
Here he is.
We are cutting the throat of what?
Yes. It's done.
Rechawla m'la.
Rechawla m'la.
Julius Malema is no fringe figure.
As the South African Institute for Race Relations notes, his influence on South African politics is profound and lasting.
Former President Jacob Zuma calls him South Africa's future leader.
Well, Mr. Zuma himself has publicly sung the old revolutionary song, Kill the Boer, which also means kill the farmer.
When South Africans shout, kill the boer, kill the farmer.
