Why the "/s"? Redditors were actually saying this.

They were parroting the NYT, Slate, and other assorted soy-blogs' position that:

  • Dubul' ibhunu (kill the boer) is a song about the struggles of the apartheid system
  • It's a remembrance of when blacks in SA were viciously oppressed
  • It has nothing to do with actually killing anyone.
  • Farmers are not being killed (It's Not HappeningTM ); if they are, those are isolated incidents with no political motivation behind them.
