LEMON DROP | An American Apartheid?!
from The Don Lemon Show · host Lemon Media Network
Donald Trump is on a deportation spree, shipping out refugees from across the globe, often without due process. But somehow, white South African farmers are being welcomed with open arms. Wonder why? (Spoiler: it’s racism.) To break down what’s really happening in South Africa and where this “white genocide” myth came from, Don sits down with Simon Allison, co-founder of The Continent and one of the smartest voices covering the region. They unpack the dangerous misinformation fueling U.S. immigration policy, what the data actually says (hint: there is NO white genocide), and how South Africa’s complex challenges are being twisted to serve far-right fantasies. It’s time to separate fact from fear-mongering and call out the hypocrisy for what it is. This episode is brought to you by the Freedom From Religion Foundation.
