At the Final Four on Saturday night, Duke lost to Houston after the Cougars’ second-half intensity propelled Houston to a stunning, come-from-behind victory for Kelvin Sampson’s team.
But, thanks to T****’s racist, hate-fueled orders that’s sweeping across the country, the Final Four defeat might not be Duke’s only loss.
Before the start of the game, Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared in a post on X that he was going after people from South Sudan.
“I am taking actions to revoke all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders and to restrict any further issuance to prevent entry into the United States, effective immediately, due to the failure of South Sudan’s transitional government to accept the return of its repatriated citizens in a timely manner,” writes Rubio.
Afterward, sports fans immediately questioned how Rubio’s declaration would affect Duke freshman and South Sudan native, Khaman Maluach.
While Maluach played in the game, it’s a nerve-wracking situation for him, the team and the university.
“Duke University is aware of the announcement from the Department of State regarding visa holders from South Sudan. We are looking into the situation and working expeditiously to understand any implications for Duke students,” said Frank Tramble, the vice president of communications, marketing and public affairs at Duke, to CNN.
This is something we warned last year could happen to sports as hateful executive orders and the anti-DEI movement, created solely to harass, demean and oppress all non-straight and non-white people in the U.S. under the second term of T****, is impacting people across the nation.
It began as states like Florida, Texas, Iowa, Alabama, South Carolina and others inflammatorily claimed DEI was a discriminatory ideology and eliminated DEI programs from schools and universities despite the success of these initiatives.
DEI critics claimed it was a discriminatory practice that harmed white and Asian people, yet we all know that’s a claim meant to stoke anger.
It has become a coded term for “Black”, and everyone with even the smallest bit of common sense understands this.
