Peet makes racist remarks, then backtracks

As his legal troubles mount, Peet Viljoen went viral after social media unearthed past videos where he called black South Africans all sorts of names. Viljoen, who was arrested in a United States facility for theft alongside his wife, Melany Viljoen, has gained popularity for spewing hatred towards black people and non-white people.

"Me, Peet Viljoen, I think black people in South Africa are inferior to white people," he said so proudly.

He then spoke about how white people have built most of South Africa's infrastructure, saying he does not know where black people come from.

"Honestly, they have not invented anything, not build anything. The Great Wall of China, the pyramids, they have done nothing. They have only built the mud hut. Today, the white Afrikaner has to suffer and give up the country. In 35 years, they have done zip. They took our roads and put their names on them," he vented.

Viljoen then came for other races, including Indians and Chinese people, saying they are not honest.

In another video, the former reality TV star admitted to being racist, “There is no doubt in my mind that I am a racist and hate South African black people.”

However, he quickly changed his tune when he was detained at the US ICE California City facility. Speaking to Rapport Viljoen denied the racist title, saying that would only be true if he hated all black people, saying he also has untoward feelings when it comes to "stupid white people.

"I can only be a racist if I hate all black people. Let me be clear: I hate stupid white people more. The white people who judge everyone on social media, with a cat as a profile picture – I hate them the most," Peet said.

"I hate what the black government is doing to the country. I meant government tenders. I meant that tenders are only awarded to black people; it is now only black people who steal. My comment was directed at media reports of black people stealing," Peet said via the Getting Out app, on which detainees can communicate.
