Boer a metaphor for Apartheid

I agree, and I also do not buy into the idea that "shoot the Boer" is a metaphor for ending the apartheid. The fact of the matter is that this song carries so much attached anger and very real violence that is being experienced in South Africa today, which is why it strikes such a chord, and also why it is being used to evoke even more violence. The song would not be made illegal to sing in South Africa by the South African courts if they didn't believe this song was sung in a hateful way, and dangerous to the lives of white farmers.
Malema trying to justify the song by saying it's a metaphor for apartheid, is like saying that the reason 3,000 white farmers in South Africa have been killed in the last 16 years is because they are trying to "kill the apartheid". It's not right in any way, and using the word Boer as a metaphor for the apartheid still doesn't make the song right, and still puts these farmers lives in danger. If people start to make white farmers the symbol of the apartheid, then of course the violence will continue to happen, and people will continue to harm the farmers. No matter what way you look at it however, it is very clear to me that, even though the apartheid ended 16 years ago, the issues stemming from it are still very much alive. I think South Africa has a long way to go before the race relations there become more peaceful, and I think it is important not to turn a blind eye to these issues that are still very much in existence.
