Bantu is the name of a large category of African languages. It also is used as a general label for over 400 ethnic groups in Sub-Saharan Africa, from Cameroon across Central Africa and Eastern Africa to Southern Africa. These peoples share a common language family sub-group, the Bantu languages, and broad ancestral culture, but Bantu languages as a whole are as diverse as Indo-European languages.
In the 1920s relatively liberal white South Africans, missionaries and the small black intelligentsia began to use the term "Bantu" in preference to "Native" and more derogatory terms (such as "Kaffir") to refer collectively to Bantu-speaking South Africans.

The act of pulling out/exposing one's scrotum in respect for our deceased nigga Bantu. The motion can be combined with the similar, more well known Dicks out for Harambe gesture in the ultimate display of both reverence and mourning for the fallen gorillas of both Bantu and Harambe. This practice is highly encouraged and is widely regarded as the utmost showing of devotion and appreciation for the lives of two gorillas that were taken too soon from this earth.
Person 1: " Did you hear about the gorilla that was sedated and thus died from a heart attack only a few months after Harambe ??"
Person 2: *promptly reveals testicles*
(Loudly exclaims) "BALLS OUT FOR BANTU!!!!"
Person 2: *promptly reveals testicles*
(Loudly exclaims) "BALLS OUT FOR BANTU!!!!"
