Protect the white man alert

Tucker Carlson apparently had a report on South Africa.



His Twitter skills are not improving. He failed to notice that @MikePompeo4USA  didn't have a blue check mark and that it's some fan in Kansas.

  

This isn't the first time he's gotten the wrong account. In the time it took me to create this post, the first tweet has been deleted.  It was up for ten hours.  Odd that someone alerted him to having the wrong Pompeo account but didn't help him delete it at that time.  I wonder if his tweet was how he "asked Secretary of State @SecPompeo" to get on that story.

But, it's this addition that really caught my attention: “South African Government is now seizing land from white farmers.”   He's concerned about white farmers.

Also, what's with this "large scale killing of farmers"?  Perhaps it's referencing this article.  But this one indicates that "Murders of farmers in South Africa are at a 20-year low, research by one of the country’s biggest farmers’ organisations claims."  So maybe Mike Pompeo doesn't need to poke his nose into South Africa's business.  (And I feel quite certain that Old Lardass wouldn't be asking him to if it weren't white farmers.)
The Australian home affairs minister, Peter Dutton, said earlier this year that white South African farmers who wanted to migrate to Australia “deserve special attention” and “help from a civilised country like ours” due to the “horrific circumstances” of land seizures and violence.

His comment prompted a diplomatic row with Pretoria.

Land is a focus of deep resentment. According to the Land Audit Report, 72% of agricultural land is owned by white farmers, down from 85% when apartheid ended. Much remains in the hands of the minority Afrikaner community, the white descendants of colonial-era settlers. Of 56 million South Africans, about 8% are white, according to the census.

All major political parties now agree on the need for extensive land reform. In February parliament passed a motion to begin the process of amending the constitution to allow for the expropriation of land without compensation.

Well, we can't have countries going around returning land stolen from the indigenous populations by taking it away from their white overlords.
