Former CNN anchor Don Lemon has criticized President Donald Trump's decision to grant asylum to 59 white South African refugees, labeling it as 'blatantly obvious racist shit.' Lemon's comments come in response to Trump's announcement on Truth Social of offering a 'rapid pathway to U.S. citizenship' for Afrikaner farmers, whom he claims are facing 'genocide' due to South Africa's land reform laws.
Lemon argued that the treatment of white South Africans, who he generalized as being among the wealthiest and owning most of the land in South Africa, is discriminatory when compared to immigration policies affecting other countries. He highlighted the historical context of land ownership in South Africa, noting that 9% of the white population owned 87% of the fertile land, while black South Africans, who make up over 90% of the population, own only about 4% of privately owned land. The land reform law allows the government to take land without compensation if it is not being used.
MSNBC commentators have also criticized the move, describing the South African asylum seekers as 'descendants of white supremacists' and denying any injustice against them. They argue that the focus on white South Africans is disproportionate compared to other refugee situations globally. The 59 Afrikaners arrived at Dulles Airport on Monday.
Trump's South African-born advisor Elon Musk has pointed to violence against farmers as evidence of 'genocide of white people' and criticized the government's 'racist ownership laws.' The controversy has led to discussions on race, asylum policies, and efforts to address historical injustices through equity.
