Trump’s Pick For Ambassador To South Africa Actively Opposed Fight to End Apartheid

Originally published at: Trump’s Pick For Ambassador To South Africa Actively Opposed Fight to End Apartheid - TPM – Talking Points Memo

As Black activists in South Africa fought against their country’s racist apartheid government decades ago, some on the American right felt they took it too far. One of those people who stepped up and spoke out against their fight was L. Brent Bozell III, the right-wing activist that President Trump tapped this week to serve…

South Africa should refuse diplomatic status to Bozell.

I could have drawn this born rich shitbag from ancestral memory.

The people that are for white supremacy are literally the crappest white people available.

Bizarre Bozell is still with us? That Klown Car just keeps givin’! Waiting for his mentor Bill Buckley to show.

And don’t tell me I’m crazy. And don’t tell me the midterms are right around the corner. Twenty months is not just around the corner.

On another matter … who should we go to war with?

Prediction:

This scumbag will never sit in the embassy in Durban Pretoria.

There’s no way I would ever believe that the disrespect for South Africa that this nomination demonstrates is inadvertent on the part of Trump or any member of his crew.

For one thing, we know he’s got a pantload of pro-apartheid creeps in his gang, just smong his tech-bro contingent, and I’m sure there are more.

And for another, Mr. DEI-is-the-worst-crime-of-all goes way out of his way on pretty much a daily basis to show disrespect to others – be they individuals or organizations or nations – even as he himself whines and wails "You’re disrespecting ME ME ME and MYYYYY country which is just an extension of MEEEE!!! "

I’m beginning to think that one of the worst effects this regime has on us is going to be simply the humiliation of continuing to live in it.

I believe the diplomatic term for that is “Cracka Non Grata”.

Why, it’s almost like the only people who will work with Trump are the biggest morons, imbeciles, racist freaks, and other assorted miscreants and ghouls at the bottom of the barrel,

Weird, huh?

He literally looks like one of the whitest people on earth, like he gets sunburn from moonlight. Even albinos look at this guy and go, “Dude, you need to cover up.”

He’s really, really white, is what is I’m saying.

Was Bozell one of the Whitewater True Believers in the early to mid 1990s?

This is the worst choice possible. Assuming this guy still likes apartheid. Why insult S. Africa this way?
