White South Africans given conservative PragerU books on reverse racism and American flags when they arrive in US

Source: The Independent

When they arrive in the U.S., white South Africans admitted as refugees could get a whitewashed history lesson about slavery, racism and civil rights.

Donald Trump’s administration has frozen refugee admissions from virtually every other country but has admitted nearly 6,000 white South Africans, throwing the nation’s refugee program into chaos while abruptly stranding thousands of people fleeing war and persecution who have been waiting for years to safely resettle in the U.S.

Newly arriving South Africans and their families could soon receive welcome kits from the Trump administration containing an Android device, American flag and copies of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, according to a proposal first reported by The New York Times.

The kits could also include a children’s book that suggests post-apartheid efforts to transition to a multi-racial democracy “made race relations even worse” and accuses South Africa’s government of “favoring the Black population.”
