First, the facts:
In January 2025, President Cyril Ramaphosa signed South Africa’s Expropriation Act 13 of 2024. It allows expropriation (seizure) of land without compensation. The law mandates “just and equitable” compensation in most cases, with judicial oversight for disputes.
Ahh, “equitable.” As we’ve learned all too well, for the Democrat Party, “equity” — along with “inclusion” — doesn’t mean to the left what it means to the rest of us, or what it means in the dictionary.
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.”
Senior Trump advisor Stephen Miller told reporters on Friday:
What’s happening in South Africa fits the textbook definition of why the refugee program was created. This is persecution based on a protected characteristic — in this case, race. This is race-based persecution.
Is there any doubt? Of course not.
Now, Sharpton’s intentional duplicity:
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 — most of whom easily crossed the Southern Border during Joe Biden’s disastrous presidency — who had committed violent crimes in their respective countries or origin, including murder, rape, and child molestation.
Bloviating on MSNBC (of course), where Sharpton hosts “Politics Nation” (of course), the race-hustler extraordinaire, who has turned the race-hustling industry into a cash cow, ignorantly opined (of course):
Who really cares what sharpton thinks
