No surprise here, knowing that this is the same country where politicians have campaign slogans like "Kill the Boer! Kill the farmer!"

And NPR, WaPo, NYT, et al. will all fall over themselves saying ["Oh no, it's out of context! AKCHUALLY it's just a popular song lyric! See? No big deal!"](https://archive.is/M8oWR)

>Despite the words, the song should not be taken as a literal call to violence, according to Mr. Malema and veterans and historians of the anti-apartheid struggle. It has been around for decades, one of many battle cries of the anti-apartheid movement that remain a defining feature of the country’s political culture

In case you're a retard, here's a concise rebuttal:

My thing is - if [insert popular American political figure] went out and said "Kill all niggers! Pull them triggers! TND is how it's got to be!", he'd probably be imprisoned. I say "probably" because there're good odds he'd be assassinated before he could reach prison.

And if the excuse given was "Oh no, it's not a literal call to violence. It's just a popular lyric from a popular song!", the US would be nuked.

Then again, China does a pretty good job on the Uyghurs. Maybe we in the US could get away with similar treatment of niggers. It'd certainly be more justified.
