The anti-white racist and antisemite Ebrahim Rasool who has been serving as South Africa’s ambassador to the United States, is no longer welcome in this country. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has just declared Rasool to be persona non grata. More on this welcome development can be found here: “Rubio declares South African envoy ‘persona non grata’: He hates Trump and US,” Times of Israel, March 15, 2025:
WASHINGTON — US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday declared Ebrahim Rasool, South Africa’s ambassador to the US, persona non grata, calling the envoy a “race-baiting politician” who hates America and President Donald Trump.
“South Africa’s Ambassador to the United States is no longer welcome in our great country,” Rubio said in a post on social media platform X. “We have nothing to discuss with him and so he is considered PERSONA NON GRATA,” Rubio said….
In a Semafor report earlier this week, a South African cited Rasool’s strident criticism of Israel — with the news site describing him as one of the South African government’s “most ardent pro-Palestine voices” — as the reason for his struggle to secure meetings with US officials.
He has also appeared to express support for Hamas, posting a photo to Facebook in September 2023 of a scarf that he said was signed by the terror group’s then leader Ismail Haniyeh and which he received during an “ITI programme with Hamas to share strategic wisdom in the face of Arab ‘normalisation,’ further Israeli occupation , & US approval.”
Trump has said, without citing evidence, that “South Africa is confiscating land” and that “certain classes of people” are being treated “very badly.”
South African-born billionaire Elon Musk, who is close to Trump, has said white South Africans have been the victims of “racist ownership laws.”…
The white farmers — and especially those of Dutch descent, known as the Boers — have been subject for years to a slow-motion ethnic cleansing, where “hunt the Boer” mobs of black Africans, sometimes led by the workers on the very farms whose owners are being attacked, descend on Boer farmers in order to drive them off their own land and to appropriate it for new black owners. Hundreds of farmers have been killed in these attacks, and their land seized by their killers. Other farmers who were not killed have, however, been driven off their property. The South African government does not intervene to give back to the white farmers the land that has been taken from them and given to blacks. This is what South Africa-born Elon Musk meant when he deplored the “racist land policies” of the South African government.
Now the government in Pretoria has made this anti-white farmer policy into law. From now on, white-owned land can be taken by the state from white farmers, in many cases without paying any compensation, and in others, paying a derisory sum for the land taken from the white farmers. The state itself will then distribute that land to new, black owners. The massively corrupt African National Congress, that rules in South Africa, distributes that land not to the truly poor, but to members of the corrupt black ruling class and their families. The government cannot be successfully sued for its seizure of land taken from white farmers. It’s a scandal, but how many leaders are brave enough to take the side of the white farmers whose lands are being taken away with little or sometimes no compensation? President Trump so far is the only one.
Marco Rubio has described Ebrahim Rasool as “a race-baiting politician who hates America.” Is he right?
Ebrahim Rasool said, in a recent online lecture about the Trump administration, the following:
What Donald Trump is launching is an assault on incumbency, those who are in power, by mobilizing a supremacism against the incumbency, at home, and — I think I’ve illustrated — abroad as well. So in terms of that, the supremacist assault on incumbency, we see it in the domestic politics of the USA, the MAGA movement, the Make America Great Again movement, as a response not simply to a supremacist instinct, but to very clear data that shows great demographic shifts in the USA in which the voting electorate in the USA is projected to become 48% white….
And very clearly, it’s to project white victimhood as a dog whistle that there is a global protective movement that is beginning to envelop embattled white communities or apparently embattled white communities….
More lunatic than lucid, but the main point is clear: Trump is, in Rasool’s view, a white supremacist. He is animated by a fear of non-whites becoming a majority in the U.S. That’s why he wants the wall to be built at our southern border with Mexico, to keep out non-white Hispanics, and the deportation of illegal aliens, most of whom are non-white. In South Africa, Trump sees the Afrikaner farmers, now subject to legal confiscation of their lands by the government, with little or no compensation, as white victims of the ANC’s black racism. For Rasool, such views make Trump a “white supremacist.”

Had it not been for European involvement in South Africa ( and Rhodesia ) those countries would be nothing..And since the take-over by ANC, the currency has COLLAPSED on the world stage.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Not just the currency. That whole country has collapsed. Unemployment is 40% – levels that Dems in the US can only dream of! Power outages are so frequent that they’ve driven the entire country down to third world status
During the Apartheid regime, there was a global myth that what made South Africa rich was gold and diamonds. In reality, what made South Africa rich was capitalism, and the industriousness of its people, be it Boer, Anglos, Xhosas, Zulus, Coloureds and everyone else
Everytone thought that the only thing that the ANC was was anti-racist. It was – in the same way that BLM was. Actually, ANC was always a Marxist organization, and it showed. Now, “kill the Boer” is an acceptable cry at rallies
All those college kids on US campuses screaming about genocide in Gaza should redirect their ire at the ANC, easily one of the most deserving of their opprobrium
JanD says
Just a wide, random documentation of humans on this planet over the centuries, it is undeniably one group that is consistently the most adventurous, inventive, curious, explorative, and unfortunately at times self deprecating and self-destructive, and victimized and blamed by others with no such conscience, sense of responsibility or self awareness. Like plants and animals designed for different environments, they would all do better separately.
somehistory says
Now for all those ghouls from turkey and iran.

I read that Rasool made his remarks while still in South Africa. So not sure whether he had to pack & leave, or whether he just didn’t get to go to DC in the first place
I think the only Boers left in South Africa are the elderly, although I’m happy to be corrected on that. Years ago, when I worked at Macys, I once had a customer w/ a clear Boer name, but when he ran his credit card, I had the choice of picking US$ or NZ$: clearly, he had moved to New Zealand
South Africa was once a shining part of Africa, despite Apartheid (or dare I say, maybe because of it). Now it’s not much more than South Zimbabwe

Angeli says
A neighbour of mine lived in South Africa for 12 years and he often described it as ‘the 12 most distressing years of my life’. The hateful attitude of South African blacks against white people was just incredible he said. Despite the fact he was from Ireland (like myself), just didn’t seem to get through their thick skulls to their equally thick brains, despite the fact that wokey Ireland supported the blacks in SA during the so called apartheid era. The result is, he now despises blacks himself with a passion. Understandable given the circumstances.
WPM says
The ambassador does not realize the “Africa black” supremist that currently rule SA if they remove and kill off all the whites in their country will go after the Asians next he will be on the to remove or kill list.. As tribal conflict spread ,no central authority ,it will resemble much of third world places rich in resources with the majority of the people not seeing their 45 birthday and dying of preventable diseases or senseless tribal violence .Should the Americas and Europe shovel endless money into these places with no string attached and no regime change? Maybe China or Russia are eying SA to back a regime change for the resources and a foot hold for Chinese influence in Africa ?The Chinese would kill off 80 percent of the population in “re-education” camps bring in their own people and start the colonization process’s all over again? I could be total wrong ,but as SA falls apart ,and the people who run things leave will someone fill the vacuum is this planned?

Also, were Chinese colonists to kill off such numbers in your hypothetical situation, they’d expect the survivors to be grateful for receiving the crumbs of “progress” that China would supposedly introduce. The Chinese Communists scarcely cared a fig when Democratic Kampuchea (the Pol Pot, pro-Mao faction of the Khmers Rouges) were killing off the ethnic Chinese in Cambodia (even though Pol Pot, Khieu Samphan, Chit Chhoen and suchlike all had Chinese lurking up in the branches of their family trees).
It’s good to see Rasool’s back. Frankly, I’d like to see a lot of our own home-grown radicals decide to leave and settle in the “progressive” countries of their choice. Maybe they could tattoo the flag of SHarki Turkistan on their foreheads out of “solidarity” with an “oppressed” group, and settle in Mainland China.
