It's comical that some liberal American pundits will now pretend to care more about land reform in #SouthAfrica than black South Africans do, merely because @realDonaldTrump tweeted about it and therefore he must be a racist & wrong.

Saying "My grandpa helped the king steal this land from your tribe" doesn't give white farmers a moral position to claim that black farmers or the new government can't do the same to them, even if it does give them legitimacy in disputes with other Anglo or Boer tribe-members. 2/
Property law (both common law and Roman), including principles like statute of limitations & laches, gives them that legitimacy. You are now just repeating, presumably inadvertently, socialist talking points that ignore or severely denigrate property rights and property law.

As are you :-), since from an African perspective, the British and Boer claims to property law are just as socialist, denigrating previous property rights and legal customs. Imposing a statute of limitations as "from back when we conquered this place" doesn't survive revolutions.

So you can recite to me the relevant Zulu property laws and name the current specific person(s) who are legal heirs to the land under their law? If not, with all due respect, I love you man but shut the fuck up about topics you know so little about.

p.s. nobody knows these things, the evidence is gone, which is why we have laches and statute of limitations and similar. Those principles are not some great white man conspiratorial racist plot.
