In a previous post, I praised President Trump’s bold, necessary confrontation of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and his government’s systematic targeting of white South African farmers. Trump’s resolve put the South African government to shame for all to see, and Trump also dressed down the corrupt corporate media, not just in the United States but around the world.
The Trump-South African situation, however, is bigger than the well-played “Gotcha!” moment orchestrated by President Trump and his staff. Trump’s move heralds a welcome shift across the West to stand up to race-based wokeness, white guilt, and general moral decay. Trump accomplished a great deal more than expected.
For decades, it was accepted—and expected—that white politicians could not criticize black people. This trend faced some pushback when O.J. Simpson was acquitted of the murder of his ex-wife and her friend Ron Goldman, a verdict many believe was unjust—driven by a dysfunctional court system and a jury intent on avenging Rodney King.
Columnist Ann Coulter rightly comments that the acquittal of O.J. Simpson was a great day for the United States. The “white guilt” bank shut down, and the United States, both the government and the private sector, pushed back against the race card, often used to sideline necessary police, crime, and welfare reforms.
But the white guilt card has been creeping back into play.
For the last five years, a diligent contingent has been celebrating the puppet saint George Floyd, who was detained for passing counterfeit notes and later died of a drug overdose (based on two autopsies), and yet the nation, especially majority black and urban communities, was ready to burst into flames if the police officers were acquitted. Black people have suffered harm, systemic racism, etc., and everyone should just put up with the abuses that black activists dish out. “It’s all about reparations. You owe us for the harms done to our ancestors!” many of them declare.
Many politicians on the right, especially white ones, were unwilling to publicly criticize black leaders for fear of backlash.
I submit to you that the latest round of white guilt/critical race theory limitations on criticizing black people came crashing down on Wednesday, May 21, 2025. Trump cut through the crap and flattened the black supremacist arrogance of the South African government.
South Africa has been governed by its black majority since the end of apartheid. Cultural Marxism and critical race theory have become the governing policy norms in the country. Rampant gang violence has broken out across the country. Race riots plunged the nation into an existential crisis, and the police were so badly equipped that they depended on private white and mixed-race citizens, known in South Africa as ‘coloreds,’ to protect themselves. Larger cities have started running out of water, and power outages have become the norm. Something is wrong with South Africa, and no one can blame “the white guy” anymore or the legacy of apartheid.
Rather than inviting a neocolonial backlash, however, South Africa should learn from the United States. Our country has survived despite racialized dynamics. Why? Our constitutional commitments to natural law, natural rights, the supreme role of divine providence, and biblical truth in our nation’s founding, plus a concerted interest in shared values, language, and culture, not just skin color.
There’s something else about the Trump-South Africa situation that needs our attention. President Trump has rightly pulled the plug on the massive refugee efforts entering our country. He is ending the abuses of the Temporary Protective Status program; he is facilitating the removal of millions of illegal migrants; and he has appointed effective lawyers to clean out the immigration court backlogs.
And yet he is welcoming white South African refugees. What’s going on here?
“America First!” is the popular cry of many on the populist Right, including calls to end mass immigration, not just illegal immigration. Some of them share concerns about demographic changes, a more diverse electorate among native-born Americans, and the assured demise of the United States.
All of this dissent seems rather hollow as they remain silent while white South Africans start pouring into the country. Putting aside race or color questions, the current economic challenges facing the United States should direct President Trump not to accept any refugees, even if they are white, speak English, and have a cultural legacy of common law, growth, and innovation compared to Third World peasants looking for easy money and the good life in the United States.
A growing contingent of Afrikaners do not want to leave their country, anyway, and rightly so! Why should they leave just because their current government is racist? Unless President Trump’s decision to welcome white South Africans is a massive troll to force the Democratic Party to abandon unlimited refugees, I do not approve of this move.
Instead of turning the United States into the battered women’s shelter of the world, President Trump and his cabinet, working with international partners, must apply more pressure, sanctions, and consequences to the current, racist South African government. Undermining their investment in BRICS, cutting off their voice in the United Nations, and frustrating their international trade and development would affect larger cultural change in the country. Similar measures worked against deceased dictator Robert Mugabe and have helped restore Zimbabwe, little by little, to a more stable republic respecting the natural rights of all. Black farmhands have been gleefully welcoming back the white landowners. In 2023, a white woman became Miss Zimbabwe for the Miss Universe pageant, and black Zimbabweans celebrated her. She’s one of them as a citizen of the same country, after all.
Multiethnic societies can survive and thrive. Look at Singapore, the United States, and even Israel! The key factor is that national identity and legacy must focus on shared values, not grievance. And there’s nothing wrong with white heads of state, especially in the West, defending their Judeo-Christian heritage and confronting the abject hatred and bigotry of black supremacist regimes like the ANC and EFF of South Africa.
I don’t know, this is the sort of article that gave rise to the term cuck when it comes to the conservative press. You seem to be saying the US should not be accepting any white refugees because principles you hold demand we don’t accept any. Where were you from 2021- 2025. Did you have the stones to mention the same thing about non whites? I don’t remember it. I’ve been here. There is a pattern here. Democrats do what they want, then because Principles, the right can never do the same. That just doesn’t fly in MAGA America 2025. Them days are over. This is so boomer it’s painful.
