    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.

    Just the very existence; it is just too weird to read about in this day and age.

    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.

      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 .

          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?”
