Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Will they also qualify for college scholarships meant for African Americans?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

they would be considered africans, african american is usually exclusive to us born Africans.

[–] cute_noker@feddit.dk 3 points 35 minutes ago

So their kids will be african american?

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Well they're not getting citizenship, so they wouldn't be African Americans

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Won’t anyone think of the colonizers?!

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

its musk's People, alien invasion.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago

I would take an alien invasion over this bullshit. I grew up on The X Files, those people/aliens/black goop were smart, organized, prepared, and had a full understanding of their goals, intentions, and how to handle the aftermaths. Were they bad guys? Absolutely. Were they vastly better and more humane to people as a species than what we have now? Absolutely.

Fuck. At this point, give me Bond villains. Blofeld would be more of a rational person/situation than where we are now. Hell, Lex Luthor would be better.

Musk isn’t an alien, just alienated, he’s grown up at the end of 9 levels of family entirely separated from reality.

Sorry for the rant. Shit’s kind of getting to me these days.

Soooooo, I actually wasn't losing my shit when I came to the conclusion 17 fucking months ago that this was the fucking goal?

Guess I took that flight over the cuckoo's nest for no reason. Or maybe all the reasons. Who the fuck knows.

Good luck American farmers. SA will seize the means of (ag) production before you know it. SA custom cutters have been here for years. Now they're eyeing your land.

America is currently controlled by the Klan, so yeah.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 21 hours ago

[–] bender223@lemmy.today 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

what horrors are they trying to escape? the article doesn't say. it just mentions the false claim of white genocide that trump mouth farted out

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 14 points 1 day ago

what horrors are they trying to escape?

Maybe they all developed phobias of their daddies' emerald mines.

[–] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Geez, things in ZA must be REALLY bad if they want to go to the US.

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

But, why are they coming?

[–] Tiral@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean, I hate to be real here but it's absolutely horrible as a Caucasian in South Africa right now. Like refugee levels bad. Not that they weren't dicks when they were in charge with racism/segregation, but the levels of rape, car jacking, robbery, murder, ect has risen 10x since the political change.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 2 points 8 hours ago

Things are for sure inconveniently nuanced, as much as people don't like to hear it.

Even if the jagoff cheats in office are creating unfair conditions, I think it'd be a mistake to villify everyone who's taking their shot if they want to join us here.

Are you living in South Africa?
