The post discussed 'multi-racialism' in South Africa, and argued that poverty, homelessness and landlessness have increased for black people in the country since 1994. It stated that white people hold and control the majority of the wealth, and that wealthy black people may have ownership of some companies, but not control. It also stated that if 'you think' sharing neighbourhoods, language, and schools with white people makes you 'deputy-white' then 'you need to have your head examined.' The post then concluded with '[y]ou are' a 'sophisticated slave', 'a clever black', ''n goeie kaffir' or 'House nigger'.
Expected: Hateful

The content targets black people in South Africa, a group that has been subject to systemic discrimination and oppression. However, the post appears to be critiquing the idea that increased social and cultural integration between racial groups equates to real equality or negates the reality of systemic racism.
The post highlights the power imbalance between white and black people in South Africa, with white people holding and controlling the majority of the wealth. The speaker argues that even wealthy black people do not have true control, suggesting that the power imbalance persists.
The use of terms like 'sophisticated slave', 'clever black', ''n goeie kaffir', and 'House nigger' are provocative and have historically been used to denigrate black people. However, in the context of this post, they appear to be used critically, perhaps even by a black speaker, to condemn the mindset of black people who are complacent in the face of ongoing racial inequality.
Overall, while the post discusses a marginalized racial group and uses highly offensive language, when viewed in full context it does not appear to be promoting hate against this group. Rather, the speaker seems to be a member of the group who is using provocative and potentially reappropriated language to challenge what they view as a false narrative that masks ongoing racism.
The content discusses racial inequality in post-apartheid South Africa, focusing on the economic disparities between black and white South Africans. It critiques the notion that superficial integration has led to true equality, arguing that systemic economic inequalities persist.
RULE 1: The content refers to black South Africans, a group that has historically faced systemic discrimination. However, it does not appear to target them negatively based on their race. Instead, it critiques the socio-economic system and challenges those who believe racial integration has solved systemic issues. The use of racial slurs, while highly offensive, seems to be employed as a provocative rhetorical device rather than as a direct attack.
RULE 2: The content does not appear to come from a position of power over black South Africans. Rather, it seems to be speaking from within the community, challenging existing power structures and inequality. The critique is aimed at both the system of white economic dominance and at black individuals who may be seen as complicit or naive about persisting inequalities.
RULE 3: While using extremely strong and offensive language, the content does not treat black people as inherently inferior. Instead, it argues against accepting a subordinate position in society and criticizes those who might believe they've achieved equality when systemic inequalities persist. The harsh terms at the end appear to be used to shock and provoke thought rather than to subordinate or dehumanize.
In conclusion, while the content uses extremely offensive language and racial slurs, its overall intent appears to be a critique of persistent racial inequality in South Africa rather than an attack on black people as a group. It does not meet the criteria for toxic speech as defined in the policy, as it is not targeting a marginalized group from a position of power, nor is it treating the group as inherently inferior. Instead, it seems to be using provocative language to challenge complacency and highlight ongoing issues of systemic discrimination.
The content discusses socio-economic issues in South Africa with a focus on racial disparities since 1994, highlighting increased poverty, homelessness, and landlessness for black people.
It argues that white people hold and control the majority of the wealth, and that even wealthy black people do not have true control, implying a power imbalance.
The post uses derogatory terms such as 'sophisticated slave', 'a clever black', ''n goeie kaffir' and 'House nigger' to describe black people who think that integration with white people is a measure of success, implying that they are subordinate to white people and not truly free or equal.
The use of these terms perpetuates negative stereotypes and denigrates the group, reinforcing systemic discrimination.
However, considering the context and the overall message of the post, it appears that the author is critiquing the system of oppression and the ways in which black people can be complicit in their own oppression, rather than targeting black people as a group.
The post discusses the state of 'multi-racialism' in South Africa, highlighting the experience of Black people in the country. While referencing the increase in poverty, homelessness and landlessness, it uses derogatory and dehumanizing terms to address Black people who are perceived to be assimilating with white South Africans.
The post targets Black people in South Africa using racial slurs such as "kaffir" and "House nigger" which are historically used to dehumanize and promote hatred against Black people. Thus, the content violates RULE 1.
Although the speaker appears to be critical of ongoing power imbalances favoring white South Africans, by using explicitly racist language to attack Black people who assimilate to white culture, the post perpetuates harmful stereotypes about the group. Therefore, the post violates RULE 3.
{'confidence': 'high', 'heading': 'RULE 1, TARGETS A MARGINALIZED GROUP', 'reasoning': 'The content directly targets black South Africans, a historically marginalized racial group that has faced systemic discrimination, poverty, and exclusion. The references to increases in poverty, homelessness, and landlessness for black people, as well as the imbalance of wealth and power favoring white South Africans, clearly indicates the content is addressing issues faced by this marginalized group.'}
{'confidence': 'high', 'heading': 'RULE 2, PRESENCE OF A POWER IMBALANCE', 'reasoning': "The content explicitly acknowledges the power imbalance between white and black South Africans, with white people controlling the majority of the country's wealth and resources. Even affluent black individuals are described as lacking true control or representation. This indicates the content is addressing a systemic power dynamic that disadvantages the marginalized group."}
{'confidence': 'high', 'heading': 'RULE 3, SUBORDINATION', 'reasoning': "The content uses a series of highly derogatory and dehumanizing slurs - 'sophisticated slave', 'clever black', 'n goeie kaffir', 'House nigger' - to directly attack and subordinate black individuals, particularly those perceived as assimilating or aligning with white norms and privilege. This language is intended to portray the targeted group as inferior and less deserving."}
The content explicitly targets Black people in South Africa, a group historically subjected to systemic discrimination under apartheid. It critiques the socio-economic conditions and disparities faced by this group post-1994.
The use of terms like 'a sophisticated slave', 'a clever black', ''n goeie kaffir', and 'House nigger' employs racial slurs and derogatory language historically used to demean and subordinate Black individuals. These terms are inherently harmful and reinforce negative stereotypes.
Even though the content aims to critique the perceived complicity of certain Black individuals in the existing socio-economic system, the use of such demeaning language overshadows the critique and perpetuates harm.
The context suggests a power imbalance, where the speaker assumes a position of moral authority to judge and criticize other Black individuals who align with White societal norms. This guise of critique still communicates from a relative position of power by using historically charged and oppressive language.
The language used treats the target group, Black people complicit in a multi-racial society, as inferior. By labeling them with slurs and derogatory terms, the content reinforces systemic subordination and diminishes their dignity and social standing.
The content discusses racial inequality and economic disparities between black and white South Africans in the post-apartheid era. It argues that despite the end of formal apartheid, poverty and landlessness have increased for black people while white people maintain control of most wealth. The author criticizes the idea that superficial racial integration makes black people 'deputy-white'.
The content does target a marginalized group (black South Africans) that has faced systemic discrimination. However, it appears to do so from the perspective of a member of that group who is using provocative and offensive language to challenge attitudes they view as complicit in ongoing oppression. The insults seem aimed at an imagined black person who believes sharing some spaces and cultural markers with white people makes them equal.
While the speaker is expressing a viewpoint strongly and authoritatively, the content as a whole reads more as a critique of power imbalances and racism in South Africa than as a reflection of privilege or a position of power over the group being criticized. The author appears to be challenging rather than reinforcing racist hierarchies and stereotypes.
Although the language used includes deeply offensive slurs and tropes that have been used to denigrate and subordinate black people, in this context it does not appear intended to endorse those messages or treat black people as inferior. The words are crude and shocking, but seem to be intentionally so, as a rhetorical device to argue that real racial justice and equality have not been achieved.
Weighing these factors, while this content is certainly inflammatory and includes language that targets and insults black people, I do not believe it meets the criteria for prohibited toxic speech laid out in the policy. The speaker appears to be a member of the marginalized group in question using offensive language to sarcastically challenge and criticize, rather than earnestly express, racist ideas. The overall intent seems to be to confront rather than perpetuate discrimination and subordination of black South Africans.
The post targets a marginalized group (black people in South Africa) by discussing issues such as poverty, homelessness, and landlessness, which have increased since 1994. This is a clear indication of systemic discrimination and ongoing inequality.
The post highlights the power imbalance between white and black people in South Africa, stating that white people hold and control the majority of the wealth, while wealthy black people may have ownership of some companies but not control. This suggests that the system perpetuates inequality and disadvantage for black people.
The post uses derogatory language and slurs, including 'sophisticated slave', 'clever black', 'n goeie kaffir', and 'House nigger', to attack individuals who may interact with or emulate white people. This language is intended to degrade and dehumanize the target group, portraying them as inferior and less deserving of respect and rights.
The overall message of the post is one of hate and systemic discrimination against black people in South Africa, using language and imagery that promotes or justifies exclusion, discrimination, or harm.
