On reversed racism

 It's Racism/Discrimination week on TP and this is coming timely.

Julius Malema, the leader of the African National Congress Youth League (the organization of which I'm member), has been put in the middle of a row over singing a controversial song from the apartheid times, whose title Dubula iBhunu means 'Kill the Boer'. There have been a number of complaints from human rights organizations and allegations that this is hate speech, and the High Court decided that singing the song was unconstitutional as it allegedly provoked attacks on farms owned by whites in the interior of the country, resulting in several bloody murders (a persistent problem here). Meanwhile, Malema claimed the song is merely part of the blacks' heritage and should be sung in respect for the history of the Struggle.

Here's the text of the song, with translation from isiZulu. You may like to make your own conclusions, at least taking the text by face value. (Of course there are many additional layers wrapped around songs of this sort, mostly of historical and social character).

The ANC party which has been ruling South Africa since the fall of apartheid, was also accused of turning a blind eye to this scandal and giving a free pass to the leader of one of its main coalition partners and political allies.

( So here's the question )
