In this gripping episode of Need to Know, Dr. Nsenga Burton examines the heated debate surrounding the granting of refugee status to white South Africans. With a deep understanding of South Africa’s political history, Dr. Burton dismantles the widely circulated claim that white farmers are fleeing targeted violence, revealing instead a legacy of land inequality rooted in apartheid that remains unresolved. Despite post-apartheid promises of land reform, most of the South African land is still controlled by the white minority. Dr. Burton also shines a light on documented cases of racial violence committed by some of these farmers, raising critical concerns about the potential consequences of welcoming them into the United States. She warns that this policy risks importing not just people, but entrenched ideologies of racism, antisemitism, and white supremacy. In a powerful call to action, she urges Americans to contact their legislators and reject this refugee proposal before it opens the door to more hatred and division on U.S. soil.
