The South African Commies are not the indigenous tribes, they were immigrants from the north.
The Zulu are not the ones chanting "Kill the Boer, Kill the farmer".
They also have conquered the formerly free country and have no basis for murdering the civilians of another race, doubly so since they are targeting the people who grow the food and will wind up killing many of their own people through starvation as Zimbabwe did, Zimbabwe ended up begging the Boers to return but most were not stupid enough to do it.
Did you shed any tears for Tara Cole? I bet you don't even know who she is.
I can probably guess her skin color
You think "Kill the Boer" is racist. I think "kill the hireling or slave" is racist. We're even. For the record not all white people qualify as "Boers." The British put a lot of Boers in concentration camps during the Boer war. And for the record, I don't think the Jason Aldean song is racist. But the second verse of Francis Scott Key's song? Definitely racist.
There was no national uproar. No hate crime charges (though the murderers were convicted of manslaughter). This didn't spark a #metoo movement. Just another dead homeless person killed in downtown Nashville by some drunks trying to have some fun.
Everything is racist to you.
It is on this basis, that I must respectfully inform you, that I have consulted with my colleagues at the country club and we have found it appropriate to rescind your honorary white membership card.
Good day to you, sir.
P.S. Out of respect for one of your parents who is likely white, if you ever come to your senses on this issue, you may submit an application for review and we will reconsider your membership.
I hate to break it to you, but not everyone gets an uproar. I wish everyone could.
But the few who do get uproars, in recent decades, all seem to fit a similar pattern in terms of complexion.
Poor attempt at sarcasm. I already said the Jason Aldean song isn't racist. But if you single out a class of people that can be identified by race, be that "Boer", "white farmer" or "black American slave" for death, I would consider that racist. And if it's not racist then none of it is racist. Just asking for consistency. That's all.
The lyrics do not say or imply that. You just read it that way because you got triggered by the word slave.
Matthew Shepherd was white.
Edit: So were most of the victims of Sandy Hook, Columbine, the Nashville school shooting (1 black out of 6 murder victims), Daniel Pearl (well...Jewish but still white), Nick Berg....
Ben Swann disagrees with you.
Who?
I don't think those count. Mass shootings get attention because of the gun grab agenda. Has nothing to do with sympathy for the victims, or even their identity, racial or otherwise.
Ok well a large number of people disagree with you.[
There is however, no ambiguity available, when interpreting "kill the white farmer"
Google is your friend.
There's also Justine Damond (Australian woman killed by black immigrant cop who thought he heard a gun shot), Natalie Holloway, Nicole Brown Simpson, Susan Smith's kids (she drowned them and blamed black stranger), those college students knifed to death in Ohio (no gun agenda there). Oh, and Nicole was stabbed too. So was Nick Berg. (Well...beheaded actually). No gun control agenda for Susan Smith drowning her own kids. Oh and I don't know if they ever figured out how child beauty queen Jon Benet Ramsey died.
If I have to google to find his name, the uproar was not very uproar-ish.
I've never heard of any of those names except Justine Diamond, and the only place I saw her name was here.
You've never heard of Nicole Brown Simpson? O.J. Simpson's ex wife? Sorry, but I call bvllshyt.
The voices in your head don't count.
Says you.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
The only slaves at that time were black people. Yes there were still indentured servants that would count as "hirelings" but this was also a direct threat to black slaves. And "gloom of the grave" can only mean one thing, death.
If you search Newspapers.com for “hireling and slave” your initial results will uncover current articles discussing our problems with Key’s words in the National Anthem. However, if you narrow the search to Key’s time, 1780-1816, you will see that slave and hireling were each used in a pejorative fashion to describe free people carrying out the wishes of a more powerful person. This is similar to China’s Communist newspapers calling our South Vietnamese allies “running dogs” or “puppets” during the Vietnam War.
