There is a claim that Whites only have prosperity to the extent that they stole it from other groups, and that it is thus perfectly justified for the other groups to steal that prosperity back, in the form of land, money, and everything else.
That claim is already policy here, just in slightly less overt ways than there.
It will get as overt here as it is there unless there is a major change in direction.
How do whites and SA have the money and the means? How did they steal the land fair and square?
The cape was practically empty of humans when the Dutch came. It was like North America, ripe for the picking.
When the entire world lines up against America and tells us to end our apartheid system we have on the rightful inhabitants, we will find out what it is like. We will be betrayed by our own white liberal guilt.
“How do whites and SA have the money and the means? How did they steal the land fair and square?”
They built SA and still control the bulk of capital and land. They have the money to raise an army. I suspect they have the will too.
As for “stealing the land”, it was not completely empty of humans when they arrived. It was full of hunter-gatherers. And no, I don’t think they have a superior claim to the land they did not develop.
The Boer did what they could to prevent this.
Remember that I used African armed forces as the measuring stick. So who is better?
The British actually invented concentration camps to finally beat the Boers into submission. They put wives and children into camps and starved, beat, raped and allowed them to die of diseases. This was so the aristocrats and the Crown could have a piece of gold and diamonds. There has been no more evil on this world than the British crown. There has been many equals, but none so long lived.
In my opinion, the cry against “the white man” is misplaced. The US broke away not over taxes, but over the deep hooks that European royalty has over each and every person. In truth, they still do with the fiat money system that leaves all in debt for eternity.
Great book, Kaffir Boy: -The True Story of a Black Youth's Coming of Age in Apartheid South Africa. It sheds a lot of insight into that time period. I don't think it was the authors intention to make people woke, but that surely was the effect it had on me.
