I just heard this on the news this morning.

There is a song that has been going the rounds in South Africa for the last few years. It's called "Kill the Boer." It must be a folk song. Nobody knows who wrote it, and it is sung by some black South Africans.

During these last few years, some 3,000 white farmers in South Africa have been brutally killed.

Conrad, can you explain to me what the aesthetic values of this song might be? I'm afraid it escapes me.
