It's not every day when you see the President of the United States parrot the fever dreams of foreign white supremacists, but Donald Trump is no ordinary President:
I have asked Secretary of State @SecPompeo to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers. “South African Government is now seizing land from white farmers.” @TuckerCarlson @FoxNews
The myth of mass killings of white South African farmers is but one facet of the 'white genocide' narrative pushed by neo-Nazis and ethnonationalists. The white genocide conspiracy theory usually involves a Jewish plot to flood majority white countries with non-whites, who are portrayed as less intelligent than whites, in order to create a less-intelligent mixed-race population which can more easily manipulated by a Jewish (considered non-white by neo-Nazis) elite. Usually, it boils down to an alt-right boy's failure to get a date for Saturday night leading to claims of genocide.
The fact that the President of the United States is even contemplating this sort of rhetoric is very problematic.
