The ANC which has led the South African government since the end of apartheid over 30 years ago, released this statement regarding Afrikaner refugees, insisting they are not persecuted in South Africa but rather are seeking “impunity from transformation”—referring to race-based redistribution of resources—and “accountability for historic privilege.” These are just old-fashioned human rights violations dressed up with fancy rhetoric. Ironically, the ANC’s statement provides support for the Afrikaner asylum claims. 
The claim that South African whites are fleeing from a punitive “transformation” brings to mind the deluded serial killer in the movie Red Dragon (2002), who “changed” his victims through home invasions not dissimilar to what Afrikaners endure. Squeezing the white population through taxation, legal disadvantages, restrictions on self-defense, and a refusal to stop violent crime are admittedly short of a deliberate campaign of extermination. However, in the long term, the result will be the same. In some ways, it is more torturous, because the victims are forced to subsidize their dispossession.
Perhaps the most remarkable statement comes from the Episcopal Church in the United States. Bishop Sean Rowe said:
The reality is we can’t be ourselves in the Episcopal Church and take the step of resettling Afrikaners. Our church has a long commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and historic ties with the Anglican Church of South Africa, Desmond Tutu has been a partner. We’re just not able to take this step. It’s not in line with anything we’re about.
We should be grateful for such clarity. Arguments about helping the less fortunate, showing universal empathy, or even loving one’s enemy utterly vanish, and the truth is revealed that this was always about punishment. What is most chilling is that if America falls, there will be nowhere left to flee to. Few learned from the collapse of Rhodesia, and fewer still from South Africa’s descent into savagery. Those sincerely committed to egalitarianism are determined to pursue the path to its ruinous end, and no amount of suffering or failure will make them change their mind. All we can do is fortify America ideologically, legally, and above all demographically against the racial chaos engulfing the Western world.
Donald Trump’s refuge for a few Afrikaners is, in many ways, a small gesture — quite literally the least he could do. However, it has revealed more about the true nature of liberal morality than any speech or book. Our President deserves gratitude for that.
