Are The Afrikaners Black South Africans?


I mean, Dutch settlers have been in South Africa since 1652, so over 300 years now. According to the director of this 'documentary' and Keelai, that would qualify the Afrikaners (you know, the people who implemented Apartheid in the 1940s) to define themselves as 'Black Africans'...

Yes! I hope I'm not culturally appropriating blackness when I listen to Die Antwoord.

Of course they are. Just look at Musk ...

That's hilarious. I'm sure they can't provide an answer that makes sense. Something along the lines that Cleopatra couldn't have been white because otherwise she would have had skin cancer.

Keelai actually used that argument. She said white people couldn't have thrived in Egypt because they would have all burned up/got skin cancer, or something along those lines.
