Which “rightful owners?” You do realize that every square inch of land on earth has been fought over. The victor simply confiscated the land of the defeated. This is true of every culture and every country or tribe on Earth since before recorded history. with rare exceptions. every body, everywhere. You are using an unworkable standard to determine legitimacy of ownership.

I can accept any reasonable standard but it must apply equally to all. Everybody needs to agree to the same rules. But that is not what is happening. Only Whites tie themselves into knots about who originally inhabited the land where they now live. No other ethnic group gives a rip about it when it is applied to their determent. Not the Blacks, not the American Indians, not the Asians not the Arabs, just White who only selectively apply it against themselves. And all of the other groups see this and jump in on the guilt, shaming. Sorry but I will only follow rules if everybody else does too. Otherwise that just makes me a fool.

Where you concerned for poor people in Soweto during Apartheid? If you were, great. Now let's focus on getting the Dutch and English back home. They can't speak Ndebele, Xhosa or isiZulu. They are not interested in being part of South Africa.
Am I supposed to feel one way for one group of people and a different for the other? If the Dutch and English had stayed in their countries, the pain that they caused would have never happened.

The land belong to the South African People. Period. If the Dutch and English would like to keep their lives they should go home. As I stated before, at least they are given a choice between the land and their lives. Many African people were denied that privilege.

Off topic, in the Congo, but still a good video

The Afrikaners didn't do anything wrong when they settled in South Africa. The history is Portuguese in the 15th century (1400's), Dutch starting in 17th century (1600's), British in 19th century (1800's) until British formed Union of South Africa in 1909 and then I guess they left. Everything worked pretty well until .....1913 the beginnings of racist legislation .... got much worse by 1948 when full-blown Apartheid went into effect. So that's why 1913 impacts the lands being expropriated. Everyone's lands prior to that are not being expropriated. Apartheid was really based on a type of Nazism.

Anyway, like I said, I don't know that much about it, but some corrections need to be worked out so the country can be a country without racism from anyone, and as we know, that takes a lot of time, and it's something the people of the country have to work out themselves.
