The first time Donald Trump tweeted about Africa, he agonised over white people. After watching Fox News’ coverage of the South African land debate last week, the President of the United States instructed his secretary of state to look into the “large scale killing of farmers”. Followers of Peter Dutton’s nine months tenure at Australia’s home affairs ministry will recognise the lie, peddled by the “alt-right”, that black South Africans are targeting white farmers. As the Guardian reported in June, farmer and farmworker murders are at a 20-year low.
But for white people living in every settler state, there’s an awkward question that translates from the Americas to Australia to South Africa to Canada and beyond. How did land become private property, and is that property legitimate? Land struggles, it turns out, might be a way of teaching racists a bit of history and geography.
For as long as the modern state and corporation have existed, indigenous people have faced annihilation as they defend their land. According to Global Witness, last year saw a record 207 indigenous activists killed from India to Honduras while resisting mining and, above all, agribusiness industries. In order for the supplies of palm oil to continue uninterrupted, the indigenous people who live in suitable forest find themselves an impediment to profit....

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.
Be non-white, basically.
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.
The Boers are the “INDIGENOUS PEOPLE” of RSA! The blacks there
came in after the Boers did and the very few blacks who were there, when the whites came, were nomadic and now just about extinct. And no, the Boers didn’t kill them!
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.
Pocahontas has the answer...
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.
Someone needs to remind them about how Islam has dealt with conquered peoples ... oh, wait, they know, but they need a less white Europe for ideological reasons.
Or the proven fact (from the experience of Rhodesia) that many blacks will starve due to the seizures.
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.
ROFL!!
My pop was a dark SOB from Italy.
Does that count?
I’m white as a ghost with blond hair and blue eyes. Mom’s side from Sicily. Must have been that viking invasion.
The whole article is steaming pile.
