I'm going to make one more comment. It might go down like a lead balloon.

Us folks from South Africa look at TikTok and YouTube - and we think - Dear God, Americans are 10x more rascist than we ever were. Even during apartheid.

Does that sound crazy.

Here's the thing. I dare any Karen to come and ask black folks here what they are doing in a communal swimming pool in a gated community. I dare any Maggot to put on a Kamala Sucked Her Way To The Top t-shirt, put on that t-shirt here and see how many metres you can walk in a Shopping Mall. I dare any American politician to come here and do the Fanny/Fani "Ho" schtick. Get up on a stage here and call any woman a Ho - and see how far you get.

We never had things like lynchings. We never burned black churches to the ground.

If folks around the world bring up the horrors of apartheid, most white South Africans hang their heads in shame. But we bristle when Americans tell us how racist we are.
