特朗普与南非在反白人种族主义指控上存在分歧的三个原因。在收到南非官员本希望以此缓和局势的信件几天后，特朗普政府宣布对该国实施新的签证限制。
3 Reasons Trump and South Africa Disagree on Anti-White Racism Claims The Trump administration announced new visa restrictions on the country days after receiving a letter that South African officials had hoped would bring down the temperature. The Trump administration escalated its withering diplomatic assault on South Africa this month when it announced new visa bans on South Africans who it said were complicit in anti-white discrimination.
本月，特朗普政府宣布对被其指控参与反白人歧视的南非人实施新的签证禁令，升级了对南非的严厉外交攻势。南非官员表示，这一消息让他们感到措手不及。
South African officials said they were blindsided by the news. Earlier this year, Washington demanded that South Africa address what it said were racist policies that hurt white South Africans.
今年早些时候，华盛顿要求南非解决其所谓的伤害南非白人的种族主义政策。
Days before the new visa restrictions were announced this month, President Cyril Ramaphosa sent a six-page letter to President Trump laying out his government’s efforts to address Washington’s requests.
在本月宣布新的签证限制的前几天，西里尔·拉马福萨总统致信特朗普总统，详细阐述了其政府为满足华盛顿要求所做的努力。拉马福萨先生的回应并未奏效。
Mr. Ramaphosa’s response was not enough. “President Ramaphosa failed to meaningfully respond” to three of the administration’s requests, the State Department said in a statement to The New York Times this week.
美国国务院本周在给《纽约时报》的一份声明中表示：“拉马福萨总统未能有意义地回应”政府的三项要求。
“The lack of a meaningful response to these requests made clear that the South African government does not want a constructive relationship with the United States.”
“对这些要求缺乏有意义的回应，清楚地表明南非政府不希望与美国建立建设性的关系。”以下是其中的一些要求：1. 谴责一首反种族隔离歌曲。
Here are some of those requests. 1. Condemn an anti-apartheid song
美国国务院表示，华盛顿已要求拉马福萨先生谴责“煽动基于种族的暴力”，并特别提到了名为《杀掉布尔人》（Kill the Boer，即“杀掉白人农场主”）的歌曲。
Washington has asked Mr. Ramaphosa to condemn “incitement to race-based violence,” the State Department said, singling out a song called “Kill the Boer,” or “kill the white farmer.”
这首歌在反对种族隔离的斗争中流行起来，当时白人少数政府暴力压迫南非黑人，将他们赶出土地并杀害活动人士。
The song became popular during the fight against apartheid, when the white-minority government violently oppressed Black South Africans, driving them off their land and killing activists.
这首歌的支持者表示，它从未意在煽动暴力，而是将布尔人或白人农场主视为压迫的象征。
Supporters of the song say it was never meant to incite violence, but referred to Boers, or white farmers, as a symbol of oppression.
南非法院裁定，这首歌并非暴力号召，可以在公共场合演唱——尽管大多数政客已不再演唱它。
South African courts have ruled that the song was not a call to violence and that it can be chanted in public — though most politicians no longer sing it.
