Australian petition to accept ‘persecuted white South Africans’ as refugees nears 10,000 signatures

You know Bell Pottinger’s attempt to stir up racial tension? Times that by 1000…

Right-wing commentators “The Unshackled” have started the online petition, and are less than a thousand signatures short of their target of 10,000. Yes, really…

They demand an end to racial hatred, yet revel in stoking up the tensions present in South Africa – it’s like the Bell Pottinger situation on steroids.

The Unshackled have taken particular offence to the squatter camps that white South Africans now live in, claiming that whites are now the second class citizens of the country.

The petition itself brazenly presents its agenda:

“It is our responsibility to help fellow white people in South Africa. White lives matter, and thus we call the Australian Government to halt its usual refugee intake in favour of accepting white South Africans who are suffering unjust hardship and turbulence.”

If Malcolm Turnbull really cares about true social justice, then he will at least consider taking in white South Africans in order to help them escape oppression.”

Poverty, of course, is one of South Africa’s biggest issues. If this Aussie publication is so bothered about social justice – and not racial supremacy – then why are there no articles about the millions of black South Africans living in townships?

It is a complete mystery! (*Rolls eyes into space*)

Their website is a shouty, garbled collection of ‘news’ stories celebrating things like restaurants not serving halal and the ‘triggering’ of the political left wing. Way to break the chains of control, guys.

Look, there’s no doubt that racist incidents flow both ways in South Africa. Neither is tolerable, and it’s mad that this has to be reiterated in 2017.

This petition, however, is purely opportunistic and very self-revealing. It seems to think the ANC are the darlings of every black South African; a grossly patronising thing to imply. It assumes the problems white people face significantly outnumber those for black SAs.

What do you think? We’re always open to debate here: Do they raise any interesting points, or are they just pushing a biased agenda? Let us know in the comments.
