Like, just think about it!

Coconut Kelz vs Ashwin Willemse I’m sorry guys, but Nick and Naas are white, and Ashwin is coloured. And coloured people are, like, super aggressive. There’s no such thing as the White Flats. It’s the Cape Flats. So let’s just think about that.

Coconut Kelz on white privilege

There is no such thing as white privilege. I mean, my friend Natasha’s dad is like super dark-skinned. Like when he goes on holiday and comes back he’s like, “Oh my God, Kelz … twinsies!” So how can that be white privilege? Think about it.

Coconut Kelz vs EFF

(After fleeing EFF protesters in H&M Sandton) You guys, that was like apartheid meets the Holocaust! Like, if Hector Pieterson and Anne Frank had a baby, and they were also rich … because they were, like, poor … and then their baby went to H&M, that would be me. I mean like literally

Kelz Pieterson-Frank.

Coconut Kelz vs Siya Kolisi

Why do we need a black captain for a white sport? What now? Before games are we gonna be doing, like, gumboot dancing, or whatever? Or like Shaka Zulu? Hayi suka wena! I dunno about you, but I’m sick and tired of quotas. How about you do something good, and then get chosen on merit? (Pauses) I guess that’s what Kolisi did … But still!

And black Twitter is like, “Why weren’t black people chosen before ’94 if everything was fair?”

And I’m like, hellooo!? Black people didn’t play rugby then! They were, like, playing shumpu or black mampatile or whatever it is.

And like they didn’t have degrees, so how do you expect them to be hired? Like, think about these things. Sometimes you’re just like, fight fight, strike strike … but sometimes you gotta think!
