DEI and the Boers

Sponsored by: Patriot Home Funding

On Wednesday, the president of South Africa told the world that the white Afrikaner refugees who are fleeing the country aren't fleeing persecution, they're fleeing racial justice. The president called them cowards for fleeing. The president of a nation that was formerly a democracy just declared that certain people deserve suffering and that their property should be seized and distributed "equitably" because of race.

Since 1990, the Republic of South Africa has enacted 142 race laws and in January enacted the Expropriation Act, which erases the absolute right of white South African citizens-particularly farmers- to own or possess private property, meaning the government can seize all their assets at any time without compensation if the government views it "just and equitable and in the public interest."

The rationale the government behind the Expropriation Act should sound very familiar to you- that the white farmers are occupying stolen land, and have oppressed the black tribes, who should be given the land and assets as reparations. Never mind the Bantu tribes who are attacking the Boers are the descendants of illegal immigrants from Angola, Nigeria, Mozambique, and the Congo, lured to South Africa by its prosperity and the hope of a better life in a system built by others. Sound familiar?

The Boer currently produce over 95% of the corn, wheat, cotton, citrus, potatoes, tomatoes, soy beans, poultry, wool, and two thirds of the cattle in South Africa. That nation is rich and prosperous because of the European immigration and development, not because of the marauding tribes of savages in the country illegally.

The Bantu are no more indigenous to South Africa than the Boers, who are the lawful owners of the land, and who developed it economically and set up the democratic government that has led to the prosperity that the Bantu are stealing in the name of social justice and equity.

So why is the left in the US freaking out about 50 or so refugees, who legitimately fled for their lives, leaving all their assets and memories behind to escape to here? Because to the left, and this belief is ingrained in their basic academic and political ethos, the white Boers are oppressors, stole the land, and they must be punished, the land taken away, and redistributed as equity. The oppressors must not be allowed safe haven.

And don't think the same thing can't happen here.

What is happening in South Africa is a glimpse into the future if the 1619 Project, which is the left's attempt to reframe our history as we are occupying stolen land and are only prosperous because of slavery, is taught in our schools and becomes accepted common belief.

What is happening in South Africa is a glimpse into the future if DEI replaces meritocracy and equal application of law. DEI was the stated official policy of the Biden administration and as we have detailed here for years, billions of your tax dollars were spent both above and below the table to ingrain it into every aspect of your life and make it "law" by executive, bureaucratic, and corporate decree, not by legislation and certainly not by affirmation.

What is happening in South Africa is a glimpse into the future here if reparations become law, where government will seize money and property of people who never owned slaves and distribute it- in the name of equity- to people who never were slaves.

What is happening in South Africa is a glimpse into our future if we forsake equal justice under the law for lawless social justice.

Joe Biden and the democrats tried to bully us into it, and the American people woke up (pun intended), spoke up, and rejected it at the ballot box by electing President Trump, who is doing his best to "uninstall" DEI in our government, academia, and corporate boardrooms. DEI is lawless, and will, if fully enacted, lead to the downfall of any nation.

So what is our future? Will it be like South Africa?

The great Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher, said, "The economic success of the West is a product of its moral philosophy and practice. The economic results are better because the moral philosophy is superior. It is superior because it starts with the individual, with his uniqueness, his responsibility, and his capacity to choose. Surely this is infinitely preferable to the socialist-statist philosophy which sets up a centralized economic system to which the individual must conform, which subjugates him, directs him, and denies him the right to free choice.

The purpose of the life of the individual is not to be the servant of the State and its objectives, but to make the best of his talents and qualities. The sense of being self-reliant, of playing a role within the family, of owning one’s own property, of paying one’s way, are all part of the spiritual ballast which maintains responsible citizenship, and provides the solid foundation from which people look around to see what more they might do, for others and for themselves. That is what we mean by a moral society; not a society where the State is responsible for everything, and no-one is responsible for the State."
