THERE IS NO GENOCIDE AGAINST WHITE SOUTH AFRICANS

If you’ve seen Elon Musk's recent X posts, you might be forgiven for thinking that pan-African politician Julius Malema is calling for gen*cide against White South Africans.

Musk’s accusations revolve around Malema’s chanting anti-apartheid song 'K*ll the Boer.’ Oppressed Black South Africans used to sing it in protest against the racist regime, which was dominated by settlers of Dutch origin, also known as Boers.

The song targeted the apartheid system and not individual White people - a point nicely made in this video sketch by content creator Rathbone. He says claiming that the song is calling for the k*lling of White people is as absurd as suggesting that anyone who fought against the Nazis was against all Germans.

Rathbone's argument that the song is neither hate speech nor incitement to gen*cide is supported by a 2022 South African High Court judgement, which ruled that it was simply a struggle song.

In the video, Rathbone also touches on how the apartheid system gave @elonmusk the jumpstart he needed to end up as the world's richest man. Hence, the tech baron has an axe to grind with those who continue to fight against the vestiges of the racist system.
