Florida Congresswoman Condemns Trump’s Refugee Status for White South Africans as an Overt Act of White Supremacy

A Florida Congresswoman is vocally criticizing the Trump administration for granting refugee status to white South Africans while halting admissions for other vulnerable groups, including those facing peril in Afghanistan and Haiti. Representative Frederica Wilson (D-FL), part of the Black Congressional Caucus, described this action as "the most blatant display of white supremacy in America’s history," as reported by Raw Story. “It is an affront to every African American and anyone who values the rule of law,” she stated, in light of President Trump’s discussion with South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa. Amidst deeply rooted issues of violence primarily affecting Black South Africans, the administration’s rationale for prioritizing white refugees reveals a disturbing narrative. Wilson condemned this decision as a profound injustice and an inconsiderate affront to marginalized communities.
