assault the black person

Explanation:
bliksem (verb) = Originally refers to lightning strikes, but in informal language can mean assault with the intent to cause harm (eg street violence), or to engage physically in a non-playful manner (eg during contact sports).

fokken (expletive adjective) = A general expletive that mirrors the English "fucking" or "fuckin", although the Afrikaans term is harsher and even less acceptable in civilised speech than the English equivalent.

kaffer (noun) = A derogatory term for a black person. Using this term in modern South Africa is often considered hate speech.
