    In the racist world of Comrade TRUMPski, only white counts. But like every other thing he ever got in life, he even inherited his racism from Daddy.

    The father of the current “president,” Fred Trump, was arrested at a Ku Klux Klan rally in NEW YORK CITY (Queens) in 1927. He was one of seven arrested out of a thousand marchers.

    While some in the South found it socially convenient in the 1930’s and 1940’s to join or get along with the Klan, there was never any such respectability about the Klan in New York.

    For Fred Trump to be arrested at a Klan riot in New York City revealed deep-seated racial animus which appears to have been handed down to his evil spawn. Daddy Fred would later be prosecuted by the NIXON administration for racist policies in his rentals, now joined by his adult son Donald, following in Daddy’s racist footprints. Seriously, if Nixon — the creator of the race-baiting “Southern Strategy” — has to sue you for racism, you’re too racist…

    In the 1970’s, Trump was repeatedly sued by the NIXON administration for civil rights violations! How racist do you have to be to get sued by NIXON — the architect of the race-baiting “Southern Strategy”?

    Long after African American men were exonerated by DNA evidence in the Central Park five case, Trump continued to claim they were guilty and should be executed, even into his 2016 presidential campaign!

    Trump’s entire political career was built on a RACIST LIE about the birth of our first African American president.

    Trump is endorsed by the KKK, neo-Nazis and other white supremacists BECAUSE THE SENSE HE IS ONE OF THEM. “Fine people … on all sides.”

    Not all Trump supporters are racists, Nazis or KKKonfederates, but close to 100% of racists, Nazis and KKKonfederates are Trump supporters.

    If our society is indeed as racist as the resident and he is reelected, I will try to find and move to a country that still practices the American dream where one can get ahead based on what they can contribute to society by means of hard work and study rather than by what race, religion or wealth they were born into.

    While I would be the last to find anything approaching good about Dump, this cartoon does raise another point than what Nick is promoting. Yes, the massive number of deaths were from Black folks and the small number of deaths were White, but there is one major difference. How were they killed? The Black folks all died of some sort of disease, while the White guys probably died at the hands of an assailant.

    There is a kind of reverse racism showing its head in South Africa that not even Mandela would’ve approved. There is a push in SA to redistribute land held by the White folks, the racial minority. Such a push was suggested during Mandela’s time and he pushed against it to maintain peace and stability in the land. Mandela was a leader of all the people, unlike the current crop of leaders in SA.

    Yes, in calling attention to whites in South Africa, I would say trump is grasping at straws, the straws which are provided to him by white supremacists, part of his base. Really disgusting.

    @preacherman, you are buying into a false narrative, and one fueled by white nationalism, racism, and Trump’s desire for a distraction from his own corruption and treason. The reality is that the “land held by the White folks” was stolen from black folks. The issue of land redistribution dates WAY back, and is being handled carefully. As the Washington Post noted:

    “[This dates back] to the early 20th century, when South Africa’s Natives Land Act of 1913 stripped black people of the right to own land outside specific plots set aside for them. The restriction tightened during the apartheid era, as the governing National Party created desolate ‘homelands’ for black people.” Although a legal framework for land restitution emerged with the end of apartheid in 1994, the process has been “slow and riddled with bureaucratic uncertainty.”

    25 years after the end of apartheid, South African whites (about 8 percent of the population) still own 72 percent of privately-held farmland, while about 10 percent of the total population — overwhelmingly but not exclusively white — control 90 percent of South Africa’s wealth. The post-apartheid government has bought up land for redistribution and assigned it to new owners, on the grounds that many were descended from black South Africans who unjustly lost their property during the colonial era and white rule.

    Meanwhile the Guardian’s Jason Burke debunks the claim that white farmers are being singled out for racist violence, writing that murders of farmers are at a 20-year low, and have declined consistently since the late 1990s. These lower numbers “contradict recent reports in Australian and other western media describing white farmers in South Africa facing ’a surge in violence,’” he writes, adding that dozens of nonwhite farmers have also been killed in recent years.

    Should we discuss the land held by immigrants in North America, taken by conquest from the rightful owners?

    Thank you so much for this toon, Mr. Anderson. It also applies to so much so-called “news”. For example, the Mollie Tibbets murder. 43 murders happen every day in the U.S., but that one is the one that’s harped on constantly. And for me, the real news is the obliteration of the natural world, and the 4 Horses of the Apocalypse, the Sixth Great Extinction. Those get nary a mention on the nightly news.

    84: Number of White AND Black farmers killed in South Africa last year, according to the government. 59 White, 25 Black

    http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-08-26/trump-wants-pompeo-to-study-killing-of-farmers/10158114

    Since the end of apartheid in 1994, the ANC has followed a “willing-seller, willing-buyer” model under which the government buys white-owned farms for redistribution to black people.

    On the other hand:

    This cartoon is pretty disgusting. After billions of dollars of research that WHITE PEOPLE have invested to counter diseases, you attack President Trump for bringing to the attention when people are killed (by other people! Not disease!) based on their race, and that’s racist? Because of the number difference So you’re only going to protest against killing of white farmers if the numbers are in the 100s of 1000s, is that how it is?Ha, I bet that if whites were killing black farmers you’d be all over the racism after the death of 2 farmers. You’re aiding and abetting racial killings. You’re sick.
