  1. The racism and white privilege is not even hide anymore.
    Really, how can you be persecuted in you "home country" when you literally dictate the rules and abuse the ressources.
    Now you in the USA and find it difficult and complain because you are being treated equally!

  2. Just in case any white South Africans are reading this and thinking about coming here, most of us are thrilled that this isn't working out for you and you're finding out what it is like to be bottom of the barrel here in the good ol' U.S.A

    What did you think? Elon Musk was going to be waiting for you at the airport with land and money? He helped gut the systems that would've helped you.

  3. I lived and worked in the U.S. for years. It's not as pretty as they paint it to be. The "American Dream" is a myth. That country is not free. It's a political circus. My experience there was an absolute nightmare. These folks are in for a very difficult time.

  4. Did they think they'd be resettled in Beverly Hills or Boca Raton or Madison Ave? LOL. OK. Should have done your research. There are places here in the US that are just as bad or worse than South Africa.

  5. As a South African, coloured , whites are more privileged, even after apartheid and they know this, when is that Orange president of America going to look after Americans ? But oh almost forgot, he has to supply Isreal(is not real)
