I had not heard about this infamous phrase (taken from an infamous song) being used in South Africa for years, basically because the African National Congress (ANC) party that has governed the nation since 1994, was shamed into renouncing it back in 2012.

Although even that only came after South African courts ruled that it’s disciminatory, hateful, and inciting:

In 2011, the South Gauteng High Court ruled that the song was discriminatory, harmful, undermined the dignity of Afrikaners, and thereby constituted hate speech. The court ruled that Julius Malema, who was brought before the court for previously singing the song at rallies, was forbidden from singing it in the future. Following the ruling Malema changed the wording of the song to “Kiss the Boer” and sang that instead–however, it can be argued to still have the same psychological influence as the original, due to the well-known context for the altered lyrics. 

I have to say that I don’t appreciate the whole “hate speech” justification, whether it’s used to ban this song in South Africa or the sale or Nazi books in Germany. Although I understand the traumatic history of such nations would make people fearful about such ideas being expressed, the fact is that it ultimately doesn’t work because the ideas re-emerge in times of stress.

And the nation ruled by the ANC appears increasingly stressed, failing on all measures, with the ANC themselves looking shaky and alternatives rising to challenge their political power.

This includes the the local communists, who naturally never give a shit about the law unless they control it.

South African MP and leader of the extreme-left Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Julius Malema, stood before a huge crowd at a rally on Saturday, directly calling for the murder of the Boers, White descendants of Dutch settlers. The Economic Freedom Fighters rose to prominence in South African politics following the end of the Apartheid regime. Malema started out as a youth leader in the African National Congress (ANC), which was once led by Nelson Mandela.

Malema has publicly called for violence against White South Africans on multiple occasions, singing the genocidal anti-apartheid struggle song ‘Kill the Boer, the farmer’.

No word on this from John Minto yet. Probably because nowadays he’s focused on doing to Israel what has been done to South Africa.

In any case, given his history he’d probably say that this is just a natural consequence of the communists not winning power in the 1990’s, where their genius ideas would have allowed society to flourish as it they have elsewhere around the planet over the last century.

Or maybe he’ll just follow the lead of the New York Times:

Oh really? I see that they’re all dancing with their hands making “finger-guns” and are adding the sounds of gunfire into the song.

This isn’t a “metaphor.” This is the actual call for mass violence – the mass shooting – of Whites.

This is the same NYT that goes apeshit about the OK hand sign and milk being symbols of racial oppression.

Of course it has to be acknowledged that the idea that the OK sign and milk were racist originally came out of the 4Chan folks, as they played their game of “What else can we get the MSM idiots wound up about” – and the NYT and other MSM sources fell for it hook, line and sinker.

But that still makes them idiots, and ones with double standards too.
