And a lot of South African blacks are into ancestor worship which is a false Satanic religion, and not a great moral foundation for building a society upon. And like some blue cities in America run by certain immoral blacks, the corruption and lawlessness just becomes unbearable for everyone. And it&#8217;s more about morality than race, but racism ends up being a result in a direction the megacorp media never acknowledges. So you could say there is a rise of systemic racism, but not perpetrated by who you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/headlineusa.com\/trump-hits-south-africa-with-sanctions-over-baffling-land-seizures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/headlineusa.com\/trump-hits-south-africa-with-sanctions-over-baffling-land-seizures\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-divider ub_divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" id=\"ub_divider_933f4af1-aea4-4cc2-8eba-e5db1a37902e\"><div class=\"ub_divider_wrapper\" style=\"position: relative; margin-bottom: 2px; width: 100%; height: 2px; \" data-divider-alignment=\"center\"><div class=\"ub_divider_line\" style=\"border-top: 2px solid #ccc; margin-top: 2px; \"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8216;Also, I will be cutting off all future funding to South Africa until a full investigation of this situation has been completed!&#8230;&#8217;<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>By Luis Cornelio<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/headlineusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/AP25023746695388.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Trump\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">President Donald Trump holding up a order for clemency for anti-abortion protesters as he signs executive orders in the Oval Office of the White House, Thursday, Jan. 23, 2025, in Washington.

The law vaguely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.za\/news\/media-statements\/president-cyril-ramaphosa-assents-expropriation-bill-23-jan-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stipulates<\/a> the government can seize specific property in the name of \u201cpublic interest.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump\u2019s executive order criticized the law, noting that it mirrors other policies \u201cdesigned to dismantle equal opportunity in employment, education, and business, and hateful rhetoric and government actions fueling disproportionate violence against racially disfavored landowners.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump&nbsp;addressed the law in a Feb. 2&nbsp;post Truth Social post, accusing South Africa of \u201cconfiscating land, and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA massive Human Rights VIOLATION, at a minimum, is happening for all to see,\u201d Trump warned. \u201cThe United States won\u2019t stand for it, we will act.
