Perhaps. Although it must be remembered that the less pleasant aspects of the ANC’s policies are the direct, inevitable result of generations of brutal, degrading, murderous, violent theft of the property of black Africans, along with horrible oppression and denial of the most basic human rights. This only began to end very, very recently, practically yesterday, in the scheme of things.
If I steal something and pass that someone on to my son and he passes it on to his son, do you think that invalidates the original owners moral claim on what was stolen from him? Think of it not as retribution but as restoration of stolen property.John24:

Eminent Domain is not the correct description of what is going on. Eminent Domain describes what happens when a rightful owner has his property taken from him (usually with compensation) to be put to a different use. It does not describe taking stolen property away from a thief and giving it back to the rightful owner.
So they are returning property to the original owners?
If you can prove it was stolen, you have a case. If you think it was sold too cheap, you are just whinging.
I don’t know. I don’t think I’ve ever met one before.
From my experience and what I’ve heard, nearly everyone from South Africa and are native English speakers all sound Aussie/Kiwi. There are certain sounds or the way they speak that give them away as not being from the London-Southern England area. I just don’t know how to describe them.
I can easily tell a South African from an Australian or a New Zealander by his or her accent. I admit that I cannot tell Australians from New Zealanders, though.
It’s pretty popular among White Americans of a particular political bent too.
Because it is so popular now???
Canadians are Americans! They live in the Country of Canda on the North American continent. Just as you live in the country of the United States of America on the continent of North America.
I wonder if you own anything that was stolen? Do you own property by chance? How about your parents? The second you give your property back to the native americans it was stolen from or accuse your parents of owning stolen property is when I will take you serious. Until then you are someone who thinks it is ok to give away other people stuff while protecting your own.Dr_Meinheimer:

Discuss the issues and not each other.LeafByNiggle:

Strange, how that’s pretty much universal.
I absolutely do. This area was “owned” by some Indians who appear to have had some relationship with Caddoans. The Osage stole it from them, killing and driving them out. Then tribes like the Kickapoo, Chickasaw and Delaware drove out the Osage. Then European settlers partially drove out, partially intermarried with the Kickapoo, Chickasaw and Delaware. Then Yankees drove out some, but not all of the landowners during Reconstruction. The government of the U.S. gave much of it to the railroads to finance them. The railroads sold it to immigrants. Some was homesteaded. Some was sold by the government to the Missouri Land and Cattle Co of Scotland. Some of that was sold, but some was acquired by adverse possession by locals. Some was given to soldiers who fought in the Blackhawk War. I bought it from the previous owner.
Who are the “racist oppressors”, the minority whites having their property seized or the majority blacks doing the seizing?
