It’s complicated, again it’s like saying “Kill the Japs!” Or “Kill the Bosch!” During ww2.
Yeah, I know what" boers" mean, so I got the examples . But I didn’t know the song existed, so tnx for the link!
Tbh " Killing " this or that group is just not ok, especially when it’s a rallying political song.

PS: I also don’t get discrimination because of whatever color. I mean, I do get that people differentiate , which is something completely" human", imo.
For example, when I walk on the paveway someplace and I see some sketchy ppl walking towards me (no matter the color) , and they feel wrong to me, I do cross the street to the other side.
Exactly, it’s just wrong now, there’s no defense other than “We used to sing about slitting your throats in your sleep when you kept us as slaves, why can’t we now?”

I’m willing to give them some room when they were under apartheid, that’s a monstrous system and you do what you gotta.
But, they won, everybody needs to be human again.
Edit: fyi, not white, this shit is still very uncool.
Well, I guess that’s the whole context here. It’s something that’s happening today .
