Earlier this month, a group of white South African refugees arrived in the U.S. after an executive order by U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump claims the group are being targeted as victims of "racial discrimination" and has therefore extended refugee protection to the group. In today’s podcast, we’ll explain the story behind the headline, and what you need to know about the Trump administration’s decision to grant refugee status to white South Africans.

On Monday, dozens of Afrikaners arrived in the US as refugees. On this week's On the Media, how a fringe group of white South Africans have been lobbying for Donald Trump's attention for almost a decade — but refugee status was never on their wish list. Plus, the second episode of The Divided Dial, all about how rightwing extremists took over shortwave radio.[01:00] Host Micah Loewinger talks with Carolyn Holmes, a professor of political science at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, about the arrival of white South African refugees in the US, why Afrikaner white rights groups are objecting to the policy, and the long-standing exchange of ideas between white nationalist elites in the US and South Africa.[16:42] Episode 2 of The Divided Dial, Season 2: You Must Form Your Militia Movements. Many governments eased off the shortwaves after the Cold War, and homegrown US-based rightwing extremists edged out shortwave peaceniks to fill the void. Reporter Katie Thornton explores how in the 1990s, US shortwave radio stations became a key organizing and recruiting ground for white supremacists and the burgeoning anti-government militia movement. On this instantaneous, international medium, they honed a strategy and a rhetoric that they would take to the early internet and beyond.Further reading:“Tucker Carlson, those South African white rights activists aren't telling you the whole truth,” by Carolyn Holmes (2019)“‘Kill the Boer': The anti-apartheid song Musk ties to ‘white genocide'” by Nick Dall On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

Welcome back to the Konfidence in the Klutch Podcast with Donald Nelson. Konfidence in the Klutch's Deezus gives his Konfident Service Announcement: Perception (2:30). Deezus talks Politics as usual with thoughts on Biden saying he wasn't surprised Kamala lost. White South Africans granted refugee status in America due to the country now being run by the blacks. Trump accepts a jet from the royal Qatari family because the U.S. cannot afford to turn down a free plane (6:45). Deezus then gives his NBA news and playoff thoughts. Giannis reportedly is open to leaving the Bucks and wants to play in a big market. I have a few spots for him that the Bucks will get a haul from, including players and picks. Dallas wins the NBA Lottery, making the Giannis trade option super for real. The Cavs are done, because you can't have two small guards in the backcourt. Celtics are done, thoughts and prayers to Tatum, no Tatum, no ring. Thunder in seven, they will tire out the Nuggets who are running out of gas. Warriors are done without Steph, playoff Jimmy is playoff Jimmy #2, not, #1 now (11:15). Deezus gives his thoughts on day one of the Diddy trial (27:00).

(AURN News) — Despite President Donald Trump's strong anti-immigration stance during his second term, a report from The Washington Post claims the United States is making an exception for one group: white South Africans. According to the Post, a State Department plane carrying at least 60 white South Africans was expected to arrive Monday. The newspaper reports that, so far, white South Africans are the only group welcomed into the U.S. under the Trump administration's current policies. The Post also states: “No South Africans of any race, ethnicity or linguistic group were vetted by the United Nations as meeting its criteria to be resettled as refugees.” This news comes as South Africa's Black-led government recently passed the 2024 Expropriation Act. The legislation aims to reclaim land believed to have been taken from Black South Africans by white colonizers—often without financial compensation. Officials say the law addresses longstanding racism and discrimination. Colonization in South Africa began in the 1650s with the arrival of white Dutch settlers. Apartheid—the state-enforced system of racial segregation and oppression—ended in 1994. Refugee status is typically reserved for individuals facing life-threatening conditions or persecution.

Today's Headlines: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested for trespassing while protesting outside an ICE facility, despite video evidence showing he was in a public area; charges against three Democratic congress members present are still possible. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is considering suspending habeas corpus, citing an "invasion" of migrants. In related news, around 60 white South Africans are being resettled in the US as refugees, a move criticized as politically motivated.

Land reform has been at the forefront of political debate in South Africa in recent months, leading to strained relations with Donald Trump and his administration. A new law allows the government to expropriate land without compensation in rare cases where the land is abandoned or not being used. This has led some farmers and activists to call on the US president and Elon Musk for help, claiming that White South Africans are victims of racial persecution.

Some white South Africans are showing support for President Donald Trump, who says a new land law discriminates against the white minority in the country. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports.
Each day there are at least 72.4 new disasters caused by the Trump administration. It seems like Trump and his billionaire N@zi pal Elon, are intentionally accelerating the collapse of the US and world politics as we know it. Who could have predicted they'd hand racist teenage internet trolls access to sensitive government information? Well…. A lot of people who have watched the darker corners of the internet could have warned about some of the stuff we're seeing now. The presence of similar anti-minority themes, the rationalization of hate and online harassment campaigns have been observed in many rightwing spaces over the years. But Gamergate served as a blueprint for so many of them. Who paved the way for this nightmare? Was it Rational Centrists who often legitimized rightwing fearmongering, Liberals? Both sidesy media? Was it the Dems who enabled a genocide? Or the people who refused to vote for them? Join me as I explore this topic.

As South Africans vote in a crunch general election, one key issue that's impacted the campaign is the policy of affirmative action the country began in 1994. A series of measures, known as the "Triple B double E Act" (Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment), have favoured non-White South Africans in public or private jobs, as well as in university admissions. But these measures are now being contested by the opposition, who claim they perpetuate racial discrimination and do not promote good governance. So how has affirmative action impacted South African society over the past 30 years and should it stay or go? Our correspondents report from Cape Town.
“If I have my money, I have my assets, I have my farms, my houses, my cars, I have everything I need, I don't need to be friendly with any white person” – Sandile Swana, former freedom fighter.In 1948, the National Party came into power in South Africa and introduced apartheid, a system that segregated society along racial lines. Black people were not allowed to share toilets, beaches, theatres and other public facilities with their white counterparts. In the decades that followed, the black majority rose up against the system and engaged in various political campaigns. Many activists - including Nelson Mandela, Robert Sobukwe, Walter Sisulu and Ahmed Kathrada - were incarcerated, while others fled to neighbouring countries. But after years of pressure on the National Party government, which included sanctions and international sports boycotts, apartheid collapsed. On the 27th of April 1994, the nation voted in its first democratic election. So 30 years since independence, our presenter Mpho Lakaje sits down with two people who were on either side of the political divide: former freedom fighter Sandie Swana and apartheid-era policeman Lourens Groenewald. So have black and white South Africans truly forgiven each other since those ugly days?

How white economic empowerment through targeted government intervention made modern South Africa. Youtube @theissuewithdancorder Instagram @theissuewithdancorder Twitter @theissuewith Tiktok @dancorder Inquiries: theissuewithdancorder@gmail.com
In this edition of In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser, I voice an essay I had written for TimesLIVE in which I critique the bullshit idea that race-based affirmative action policies are racist, and also slay the myth of meritocracy that make many white people falsely claim that their economic successes are due to hard work and fair play.There is a cluster of explicit and hidden premises in these positions that are popular despite being spectacularly false and fallacious. Have a listen.
For decades, Doctors Without Borders has been admired for bringing desperately needed medical care to crises around the globe and pioneering modern-day humanitarian aid. It's an organization with radical roots, promising to do whatever it takes to deliver life-saving care to people in need. But now, it's struggling to address institutional racism. The organization, also known by its French acronym MSF, has about 63,000 people working in 88 countries. While foreign doctors parachuting into crisis zones get most of the attention, 90 percent of the work is being done by local health workers. In the summer of 2020, more than 1,000 current and former staffers wrote a letter calling out institutional racism at MSF. They say that MSF operates a two-tiered tiered system that favors foreign doctors, or expat doctors, over local health workers. Reporters Mara Kardas-Nelson, Ngozi Cole and Sean Campbell talked to about 100 current and former MSF workers to investigate how deep these issues run. We meet Dr. Indira Govender, a South African doctor who in 2011 accepted what she thought was her dream job with MSF in South Africa, only to get a front-row seat to the organization's institutional racism. Even though she's officially the second-in-command of her project, she says it feels like a select group of European expats and White South Africans are running the show. Then, Kardas-Nelson and Cole take us inside the inequities MSF staffers experienced during the 2014 Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone. While expat doctors had their meals together and socialized, local health workers were left out. But inequities ran deeper. If expat doctors got sick, they would be evacuated out of the country, while local workers didn't get that care – they were treated at the same center where they worked. Kardas-Nelson and Cole reported the story from Sierra Leone in the Spring of 2021 and spoke to former National MSF clinicians. Finally, we talk about what can change in humanitarian aid. Govender is part of a group of current and former MSF workers called Decolonize MSF. While she and others are pushing the organization to commit to changes that address racial inequities, some are skeptical about what will actually change.

Documentary.Watch this Documentary for free at- https://youtu.be/0HxGaCzqEVY Katie Hopkins OFFICIALPlaasmoorde: The Killing Fields is a world-first — a documentary that goes well beyond polite interviews in safe places and deep into uncomfortable places, where the heart of the truth lives. Included in this groundbreaking work are interviews with active farm attackers and serving police officers who confirm corrupt police are complicit in the mass-slaughter of South Africa’s whites. Their truths are horrifying – a man and woman branded with hot irons and left to die. A husband killed in front of his wife and children. An elderly woman raped, another with half her face blown off from a shotgun. And they all share a common thread: revenge. This is a disturbing documentary – it wrought both an emotional and physical toll on all involved. What’s more, Katie was detained at the airport in South Africa on the orders of the African National Congress (ANC) for her work on this project because Plaasmoorde is the story – the truth — they don’t want you to see. We owe it to the victims – to our fellow man — to listen and to open our eyes to the truth.-------------------------------------------------------------------- HELP ACU SPREAD THE WORD!

It’s always special to visit with Peter Hain, the anti-apartheid icon who had a highly successful half century in British politics. Last time I watched him deliver a killer speech in the House of Lords which smashed any hopes the Guptas had of slinking away into the shadows. This time he hosted me in Royal Gallery, a grand room through which Elizabeth the Second passes en route to her official throne where she delivers the annual Queen’s Speech, the official opening of the British Parliament. Peter Hain, the boy from Pretoria, still can’t quite believe he’s a fully-fledged member of the historic House of Lords… Our conversation soon moved across Peter Hain’s superb book on his friend, South African leadership icon Nelson Mandela. I loved this punchy, well-written 196 pages on the man who changed his nation’s destiny. But with a veritable library of books on Madiba already available, I asked why Hain believed another was necessary, sparking a fascinating discourse on the concept of how best each of us can make a contribution to the society we serve.
White South Africans vote to end apartheid. International pressure against South Africa’s ongoing white-minority rule and apartheid system had by the 1980s brought boycotts against South African products and sports teams. The result was a deteriorating economy. Clearly, something had to change. When F.W. de Klerk became president of South Africa in 1989, he worked swiftly to shift more power to the black majority. In 1990, he lifted the four-year-old state of emergency that still existed in most provinces. He also began negotiating the end of apartheid with the once-outlawed African National Congress (ANC) and leader Nelson Mandela, who had been imprisoned for 27 years. On March 18, 1992 an overwhelming majority of whites in South Africa voted in a referendum to end their oppressive and racist system. It would be up to parliamentarians to vote themselves out of existence. The last few days of the apartheid countdown were particularly difficult, as right-wing white parliamentarians and the leader of the Zulus took exception to some of the conditions. However, on December 22, 1993, Parliament finally adopted an interim constitution that would stay in place until a new one was created. Free elections were held, electing the ANC government with President Mandela. However, this was an interim process allowing for a balance of powers between blacks, whites and mixed-race constituents. A few years later, the country adopted a new constitution that went into legislative effect on December 10, 1996. The new constitution did away with the power sharing, replacing it with a democratic-style system of government. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

President Cyril Ramphosa has described the Marikana tragedy as the darkest moment in South Africa's young democracy. He also says the Life Esdimeni tragedy is the most appalling dereliction by the state to its people. He was replying to the Joint SONA debate. He also told MPs that young White South Africans still have better opportunities than their young Black counterparts. Our Parliamentary Correspondent Mercedes Besent tells us more.....
I wrote this during layovers between Toronto and London, on my way to Amsterdam for the summer. Before I start my next voyage, I wanted to offer my musical reflections on South Africa. Three days ago (April 27, 2014), South Africa's democracy turned 20 years old. I spent much of December and January in South Africa, thanks to the support of my community of listeners, family and friends and a generous grant from The Astraea Foundation Global Arts Fund. This was my third time in South Africa; the first trip happened in 2001 and the second in 2011. The purpose of the trip was to complete the SoundTracking Our Lives Tour, a project that simulated the migration pattern of house music from the U.S. to South Africa, launching in New York, traveling to Chicago and Detroit, and finally, concluding in Johannesburg. The purpose of the tour was to document the work of women who have played a role in the evolution of house and its transmigration, and are currently active in its development. My mission was accomplished. But what I realized almost instantly was since my last trip to South Africa I have developed a new vocabulary, a new understanding of the development of house music. I have been deepening my relationship with its influences, everything from traditional African drumming, to Philly soul, to the tambourines and choral clap rhythms of gospel. Clark Sisters, stand up. A few days before my landing in Jo'burg, Nelson Mandela made his physical transition. Accordingly, the energy on the streets reflected not only the sadness of his passing, but also the presence of many questions, particularly the politically and socially charged question of ‘progress’ since democracy. One thing that was extremely clear to me was the intricate ways that the apartheid regime institutionalized longstanding practices that until this day uphold the brutal inequalities that exists between Black and White South Africans and shamelessly so. Adrienne Maree Brown, my lover and trip companion, writes about the experience in more subtle detail here: http://adriennemareebrown.net/blog/2014/02/14/reflections-on-south-africa-part-2/ Still, even with the uncertainty that Mandela’s death brings, house music continues to dominant the sound of the nation. But there was a difference this time, between the house music I heard on the radio and the house music I heard on my taxi rides through the city, or in the cars passing me by on the streets. I had to admit that much of the house I heard on the radio was formulaic (a hard distinction to make with a genre of music based on repetition), and had blown up to “pop” status, losing some of its dark funk. As an outsider I can never really be sure about the politics of commercial vs. underground culture, the music industry, globally, is such a tricky beast. But I do know for sure that I felt less moved by what was most popular, most available. This is why it’s always good, as a global citizen, to seek out the underground community wherever you land. Find those cats you would roll with in your circle at home. The cats who avoid radio as much as possible and keep their ears to the street in search of that very specific sound; you simply know it when you hear it and it can be heard in so many different forms of music, in so many different places on the planet, all we know is that it’s a sound that unites us all. By the end of the trip I had collected around 100 songs from record labels (Soul Candi), DJs, producers and general house heads. Turns out that the majority of the music I was given did little in the way of touching that little thing inside of me that inspires movement and sets the stage for the perfect mix. I narrowed down my compilation to 17 songs and some of them were tunes I had been listening to for the past year leading up to my trip. Upon returning from South Africa, I spent the winter in Detroit with my honey and during that time I set up my turntables, along with my art. I rooted myself in our shared space and went to work. It was love work, release and reflection work happening in congruence with what Detroiters said was "the coldest winter ever." I spent hours reading, writing and listening to music, doing the best I could to create soundtracks from my travel, relationship and scholarship. The result was a session of mixes titled "The Hibernation Series." The first mix of the series, The Afro-Digital Migration: House Music in Post Apartheid South Africa Volume II, is a convergence of love stories - my love story with black music, and my love of a black magic woman. My love story of black music led me to the South African house scene, where I embedded myself this most recent trip with new questions of how, when and why house music permeates the soundscape of South Africa. This love has led me to uncover histories of migration, theories of escape, questions of origin and something even deeper: the work of pioneers like Frankie Knuckles (rest in power), in understanding the root systems of house. I've learned to stretch the roots of house beyond disco, gay clubs and the Black church in America. I had to come to understand that producers/DJs like Knuckles and his peers made music from a place of ancestral memory; they were plugged into the source, masterfully re-creating ancient rhythms using both new and dated technology. This means that rather than looking at house music as simply finding its way to SA townships from Black America, I saw that house music, in a way, repatriated to its motherland (haven’t said motherland since my early 90s X-Clan days, but its applicable here). My love of a writer woman led her to follow me to South Africa, where we learned together about house, the endless beauty of the land, and the political climate of this peculiar place. Together we witnessed the ghosts of the regime juxtaposed against the joyful and sexually liberating sounds of house; it truly is freedom music. We were both moved to the point of creativity, her to writing: http://adriennemareebrown.net/blog/2014/01/13/the-words-are-too-small-reflections-on-southern-africa-travels/ and me to create this mix. This was an incredibly important journey for us, sometimes challenging as we were thrown into a world where post apartheid SA, like post racial USA proved to be a more theoretical concept based on the changing of the guards from white to black people in power, with the model of white supremacy, and all of its arms and legs still firmly in place and in tact. Adrienne and I were invited by filmmaker Palesa Letlaka to speak together at the Afrikan Freedom Station, which was the first time we had ever witnessed each other at work and from that opportunity we connected with South African local artists who wanted to learn more about how we were weaving afro-futuristic and science fiction themes into discussions about house music and social justice. Overall, I can honestly say that the music for this mix came together and quite well. I am a firm believer that house music, like science fiction, provides us with the opportunity to engage and submerge ourselves in an alternative reality, for at the root of house music is deep faith and joy. It makes perfect sense that house music resonates among so many South Africans; it creates so much space for complexity. I hope you feel the call in this mix to find and follow love through its lineage, its mysteries, and its demands.
