There’s an increasingly open and unapologetic brand of racism coming out of South Africa targeting white people, and it’s being espoused by prominent cultural figures.
In February 2025, South African rapper, music producer, and commentator Nota Baloyi made an appearance on “The Hustler’s Corner Podcast” with host DJ Sbu. The duo discussed a number of topics, including rapper Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show performance and other rappers like Ye and Drake.
Just over the halfway mark of the episode, Baloyi went into a bizarre racist and pseudoscientific rant about the inferiority of the white race.
“The problem that South Africans have right now is that we don’t understand white people. White people are [an] inferior species to us. We are Homo sapiens. They’ve got Neanderthal blood in them.
“This is the science, and this is not science that was done by black people. It was done by them,” he told Sbu.
He’s got it ass backwards, they are the ones with neanderandal blood and that’s putting it mildly. Would like to say a lot more but it wouldn’t make it past the censors
