Wat zei Soros ook alweer?
“I’m going to bring down the United States by funding Black Hate groups. We’ll put them into a mental trap and make them blame white people. The Black community is the easiest to manipulate.”
– George Soros – Interview with Germany’s BILD – Sept. 2014
Wat een nonsens . En jij zit dat soort verzinsels hier voor waarheid te verkondigen?
A meme circulating on Facebook in South Africa attributes a quote about supporting “black hate groups” to billionaire financier and philanthropist George Soros.
It claims Soros told the German newspaper Bild the following in September 2014: “I’m going to bring down the United States by funding black hate groups. We’ll put them into a mental trap and make them blame white people. The black community is the easiest to manipulate.” (Disclaimer: Open Society Foundations, founded by George Soros, is one of Africa Check’s funding partners.)
The meme, which shows a photo of Soros, was shared on a number of Facebook pages
Africa Check recently debunked fake quotes associated with other famous personalities such as South Africa’s former public protector Thuli Madonsela, Black Consciousness leader Steve Biko, US actor Samuel L Jackson and first president of the US, George Washington.
Like these, the George Soros attribution is also false.
