Imagine if @realDonaldTrump (or any Conservative) said anything close to what South African politician Julius Malema has said about a racial minority. How do you think the media would react? Well, how did they react when Malema said it?

THREAD

"We are not calling for the slaughtering of white people, at least for now"
"The land will be taken by whatever means necessary"
"Why [remove] the Mayor of Port Elizabeth? Because [he] is a white man"
"We are cutting the throat of whiteness"

Julius Malema leads the 3rd largest party in South Africa - the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), a far-left, Marxist organization. This isn't 20 idiots celebrating Charlottesville. It's hundreds of thousands and 1m+ voters.

Have you heard anything about this from the left media?

FYI to get those quotes I watched videos of Malema myself and transcribed them word for word. So don't bother trying to claim I'm citing "white nationalists" or I'm taking something "out of context". From his own words to this keyboard. That's it.

EXAMPLE: here is how the @BBC treats Malema:

"South Africa's fiery politician mellows"
"An aspirational, individualistic message [like] Chavez"
"Evolved from a 'rough diamond'...much more polished and impressive"
"Real skill to his game"
"Colorful and controversial"

Imagine if @realDonaldTrump said he wanted to "cut the throat" of Muslims, or black people, or any other minority?

Do you think the media would ACTUALLY PRAISE HIM? (!)

Here's how they react to something 1 millionth as bad: "a danger to the world"

COME ON. Is this real life?

This has been example 1,327,484 of why you can't trust the mainstream media, most of whom discovered the problems in South Africa this week, and idiotically decided that Trump is the one causing a racial problem, rather than racist thugs like Malema.
