Now I’m jealous.
I want to be an “indigenous” person.
What do you have to do to be one?
Fill out a form or something?
Here’s the exact Tweet just to refresh everybody’s memory:
I have asked Secretary of State @SecPompeo to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers. “South African Government is now seizing land from white farmers.” @TuckerCarlson @FoxNews

I’d have to agree. It’s time to deport the non-indigenous from Europe.
The indigenous population of South Africa is estimated at 1% of the total population.
They’re doing all the farm taking?
They are so far left, they do not recognize property rights, except those extinguished long ago, by right of conquest.
I challenge them to find a bit of land in Europe that has not been conquered numerous times in the past.
By there standards, every person who has land anywhere is guilty.
That follows from the Marxist thought: Property is theft.
“For as long as the modern state and corporation have existed, indigenous people have faced annihilation...”
As if that hasn’t always been the case.
We boycotted South Africa for racism, well, let’s do it again then.... Just put a trade embargo and boycott the country, and consider any White Farmer of S/A to be a refugee and grant them US status by request.
How can Greenpeace go out and save the whales, while baby seals are being clubbed in Newfoundland?
How can PETA worry about animals being killed while redwoods and sequoias are being cut down?
How can you chew gum just as you started to walk?
Choices, choices... They’re everywhere! What a world, what a world!
There’s a meme of Christopher Columbus talking about Dear Conquered People.
This article is a good indication of how psychotic these people are. Not one mention of the farms that are literally being seized by force as we speak, nor of the proposed change in the South African constitution to legalize land theft.
the white farmers have been living in hardened compounds for a couple of decades there. The native blacks have been killing them at every opportunity with zero accountability for their actions.
Where does this come from, white Africans who I used to talk to every night on the net until they had to flee to the US.
Trump is right just a couple decades late to the game.
The whole article is steaming pile.
POTUS forgot momentarily..Black Lives Matter...

Raj Patel sounds like he reallllly hates white people.
the manchester guardian is one-bit leftist rag with a circulation of only about 100,000, and yet i see it posted at FR at least twice a week ...
I claim we are the “indigenous” people. The indians invaded and stole the land from us. We just took it back.
Some people kill some indigenous people so we Westerners are supposedly all guilty.
Then there's the mention of palm oil which is only a big deal because environmentalists think it's greener than petroleum.
Then there's the whole real history of South Africa where the Boer were there before the Bantu or Zulu and took very little land from aboriginal people. And even after the Black population took off, much of the land owned by Boers was either theirs from the get go or purchased. And when Blacks were given a chance for land or money they mostly took the money.
And then there's the whole unfortunate story of most aboriginal people dying from diseases for which there were no known cures at the time. Also, at least in the Americas invading groups like the conquistadors were viewed by some Indians as liberators from the death cults of the Aztecs.
History is much more complicated than: Westerners/Whites bad, everyone else good.
The people will starve to death if the farms are stolen from private citizens, just like in every other socialist hell-hole in the world.
Rhodesia was the bread basket of Africa when the white farmers had their farms taken away. Not too many years later, the people of Zimbabwe were starving because the cronies who were given the land didn’t know how to run a farm.
Indigenous - I guess people just pop up out of the ground?
Raj reliving the British Raj situation in India.
Not analogous to black NAZI racists murdering whites in South Africa, once a crekatuvely civilized country before Obamaesque leftists took over. Ditto the former RhodesIA ( don’t know what it’s called today and don’t really care).
Africa is a festering sore. Sahara Africa is under the nightmare of Islamic domination, subsaharan Africa, ruined by European colonialism and native tribalism, has never evolved into a civilized
Place.
