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.

UPDATE:

White supremacist David Duke responds to Trump's tweet:



UPDATE:

South Africa responds:

And There You Have It

Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke suggested on Saturday that President Donald Trump is inspiring the white nationalist “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Asked by a reporter what the alt-right rally means to him, Duke said that it represents a “turning point for the people in this country.”

“We are determined to take our country back,” Duke said. “We’re gonna fulfill the promises of Donald Trump. That’s what we believed in. That’s why we voted for Donald Trump, because he said he’s going to take our country back.”

  

From the horse's ass to the horse's mouth.

Duke — a former member of the Louisiana House of Representatives who is attending the rally — was a vocal supporter of Trump’s presidential campaign and congratulated him upon his inauguration in January, tweeting, “We did it!”

Trump came under fire for initially declining to denounce Duke, whom he claimed to “know nothing about.”

“I don’t know anything about what you’re even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists,” Trump told CNN during the campaign. “So I don’t know. I don’t know — did he endorse me, or what’s going on? Because I know nothing about David Duke; I know nothing about white supremacists.”

Wanna buy a bridge?...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:  Here's video of the white nationalists marching in Charlottesville today, giving the Nazi salute while chanting, "Hail Trump!"

"Demolished or Taken Over"

He was not only a leader of racial politics but also a product of them. His father, Don Black, had created Stormfront, the Internet’s first and largest white nationalist site, with 300,000 users and counting. His mother, Chloe, had once been married to David Duke, one of the country’s most infamous racial zealots, and Duke had become Derek’s godfather. They had raised Derek at the forefront of the movement, and some white nationalists had begun calling him “the heir.”

Now Derek spoke in Memphis about the future of their ideology. “The Republican Party has to be either demolished or taken over,” he said. “I’m kind of banking on the Republicans staking their claim as the white party.”

[...]

“Years from now, we will look back on this,” he said. “The great intellectual move to save white people started today.”

(With a peek at the incestuous coloring of the white nationalists.)

Maybe Trump's bunch are trying to demolish the GOP since they weren't able to take it over. At any rate, this is a very interesting article about a young man who evolved from "the heir" to the white nationalist movement.  He now says, "It’s scary to know that I helped spread this stuff, and now it’s out there.”

Read the whole thing.
