Things got wild on CNN on Monday night after a former Obama staffer and current CNN analyst decided to go on a racist rant over President Donald Trump admitting 48 South African refugees.
As RedState has reported, South Africa's ruling party has infamously made singing "Kill the Boer," which translates to "kill the farmer," a staple of their political rallies. For context, the song specifically refers to white farmers (Afrikaners) and dates back to the country's apartheid days. Laws to confiscate their land and extra-judicial killings have taken center stage over the last several years.
For some reason, though, that has greatly offended Democrats, who have finally found refugees they do not want to admit into the country. Funny how that works, right? I'm sure it's just a coincidence. On the other hand, here's Ashley Allison making it clear that it's not one.

ALLISON: So if the Afrikaners don't actually like the land, they can leave that country.
JENNINGS: They are. They're leaving to come here. These refugees are coming here.
ALLISON: No, they can leave and go to where their native land is, which is probably Germany or...
JENNINGS: Are you against them coming here?
PANELIST: Holland...
ALLISON: Holland, yes.
JENNINGS: Are you against them coming here?
ALLISON: I'm against the hypocrisy of this administration...
JENNINGS: No, no, that's not the question. The question is are you against them coming here.
ALLISON: If there was actually a genocide happening like there is other places in Sudan and the Congo, I would not, I'm not opposed for Congolese and for the Sudanese to come to Africa [America?] just like I'm not opposed to Venzualans and South Americans coming to America if they are fleeing and looking for asylum. What I am against...
JENNINGS: So just these 50 people, you're against...
ALLISON: What I am against is that they are being given special treatment when there is not a genocide happening in South Africa, and they just don't like the law of the land!
What an absolutely deranged thing to say on so many levels. Imagine, for a moment, if a Republican CNN panelist told black Americans that they can "leave and go to where their native land is" if they don't like laws that physically and financially persecute them. Do you imagine that person would still have a job right now? Heck, they kicked Ryan James Girdusky off the air permanently for making a beeper joke about terrorist-supporter Mehdi Hasan, and the conservative commentator chimed in to provide this bit of insight on Allison's rampant racism.
During commercial breaks Ashley would make comments about white men all the time… rarely you’d meet someone so openly racist https://t.co/YQ6gI2MniS

It should also be mentioned that pretending all South American refugees are legitimate and worthy of entry while singling out these South Africans is completely transparent. Most of the illegal aliens who crossed the border and claimed asylum were economic migrants. At no point did Allison have a problem with that or decry the standards by which they were being admitted. Let some white farmers with hundreds of years of lineage in Africa show up, and suddenly she wants to proclaim only the persecutions she approves of count. There's no good explanation for that except that she's exactly what she appears to be, which is a blatant racist.

Understand that as much as Trump brought these Afrikaners over to help them, he also did it because he knew Democrats would react like this and expose themselves. He threw the bait out there, and they gobbled it up because they just can't help themselves. Meanwhile, CNN is just fine with racism on their airwaves as long as it comes from the "right" people.
