Afrikaner farmers reject Trump's Claim of White Genocide in So Africa

A distressing situation has emerged for an Afrikaner family of four who have reportedly found themselves stranded in a hotel in Montana, USA, after arriving under a refugee programme intended for persecuted individuals.

The family’s plight came to light through a TikTok post by South African expatriate @catmpt, who uncovered their struggle for basic necessities such as food and communication.

This family’s predicament highlights the challenges faced by some of the white South Africans who have recently sought refuge in the United States amid fears of political persecution back home.

Two distinct groups of white South Africans have recently obtained refugee status in the US, entering a programme that was bolstered by an Executive Order from President Donald Trump.

Under this framework, refugees are granted Priority-2 status, which promises certain start-up assistance, including financial support and job placement.

However, the reality for the Afrikaner family appears to be considerably different from their expectations.

According to the TikTok user, the family were under the impression that upon their arrival, they would be provided with comprehensive assistance including housing, jobs, and healthcare.

Unfortunately, their experience has been marred by the harsh reality that few have the resources or network to facilitate such support in a new country.

‘They were understanding that they would be arriving here for complete assistance,’ @catmpt said. ‘People thought they would be arriving at a house, a job, medical insurance, and other things. It isn’t that way at all.’

Her criticism of the family’s unrealistic expectations reflects a sentiment shared by some long-term expatriates, who have endured considerable bureaucracy to relocate successfully.

Having left South Africa over a decade ago, @catmpt expressed her frustration at the discrepancies in experience. ‘One side of me is like, “My husband and I went through all of the red tape, and we got our visas…we’ve got our green card. We’ve been here ten years. We did everything the right way.” Here, these people, regardless of what they were promised, just came here expecting everything,’ she lamented.

The Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) in South Africa has previously clarified that South African refugees in the US will not have access to diplomatic assistance while abroad.

The responsibility falls to the US Refugee Admissions Programme, which aims to assist refugees but does not guarantee comprehensive support upon arrival.

DIRCO provided further insight into the complexities of refugee status, stating, ‘You can’t be seeking refuge status, then go back home, have a braai, then go back. It defeats the purpose of you being protected and a refugee of a particular country,’ as quoted by The South African.

For Afrikaners who wish to return voluntarily to South Africa, options for repatriation exist through organisations like the UNHCR, which can offer financial aid to assist with the journey.

 

Just an anecdotal story, but a friend's cousin came to visit Houston from SA for a few weeks. He liked:

Lager (he pronounced it Laghah) beer
Smoking pot
Saying incredibly inappropriate/racist things about anyone who was not white, whether we were in public or not.

It got to the point where we're out one night, might have been at Griff's, this guy was pretty large, like South Afrikan rugby large, I'm looking for bigger guys, bigger friends, in the bar, just to somehow make him shut the hell up. I shot some pool and threw darts just to get away from him, and eventually people went home and it was all ok.

And that's the last I saw of my Afrikaner friend.

 

I'm not going to paste the entire article, as it's fairly long, but it's worth reading when you have time.

How the US far right bought into the myth of white South Africa’s persecution

Ignorance. That's how they bought into it.

 

I’m sure they're all exactly like that and I’m sure their experiences in life are just like yours.

 

It's shocking to me how South Africa did not learn from the Rhodesia --> Zimbabwe lesson. When you persecute the white farmers and kick them out of the country, you end up with severe shortages of food. Zim went from being essentially the breadbasket of Africa to now being a poverty country without modern farming techniques. Their citizens are now starving. South Africa is forgetting who made that country the richest in Africa... legal system structure, property rights, law and order, business creation, public services... all being flushed down the toilet by the ANC.


GOOD DAY

 

i see everyone has moved from Persian expertise to Afrikaner expertise.

nice work, D&D.
