    No. You should not be paid for land you stole and got rich off of. Period. In what scenario does a victim pay a criminal to get back what the criminal stole?https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/967066995534585858 …

    South Africa's new President announces his intent to take back farm land. Listen to me. This needs to happen. Black South Africans represent 79% of the nation, but only own 1.2% of the farm land. This is not OK. It was stolen during colonization & apartheid. pic.twitter.com/LqXP88cut0

        99.9 percent of America better start packing then, because I'm pretty sure Native Americans of North America have a hell of a land claim under this line of thinking.

        If you wanna know why conservative white people are afraid of 2040 when America becomes a majority-minority country, it's this. The idea that a coalition of the "others" will right their historical wrongs at their expense is terrifying.

        Massive oversimplification of the issue. Much of this will be land that has changed hands many times...if you go back far enough in the USA the land your house is on was stolen from someone at some stage.

        I understand the logic. How do we address the North and South American continents? Not arguing any point. Just fond of consistency

        In what scenario? Perhaps in a scenario where the perpetrators and original victims are all long dead, and their descendants are trying to figure out how to live together and prosper together in peace. /1

        This worked how in Zimbabwe? Yeah. Multi generational knowledge of land management and farming was dismissed. A bustling agrarian economy ended. A different approach is needed in SA.These farmers have worked this land for centuries. A different plan must be made or SA will fail.

        Shaun, white South Africans are South African. That country is theirs as much as their black compatriots'. Most inherited those lands and were born into privilege through no fault of their own. Most have nowhere to go and known nothing else than South Africa

        When slaves reclaimed Haiti they had to pay France over a 100million. White people love making black people pay for things they deserve

        The difference is that nobody should claim ownership of a human being, here we are talking about land. The second difference is that French colonists had their allegiance to France not Haiti. White South Africans are South Africans

        So, you think people should be held responsible for things that occurred 100s of years ago? In that case, I will be waiting for you to call out slavery, Jim Crow laws, the KKK, segregation, and the murder of 1000s of Black people.
