I don't give a damn who started it, it should have never been implemented. It was a horrible policy.
Secondly, the vast majority of blacks, now living in RSA are pretty recent INVADERS from other African nations and have less than NO claim at all to the land, nor to rule!
That's an old wives' tale. There were blacks living in SA at the time of the nation's founding. They continued to exist within the country even though, true, they had no ownership to the land. But instead of treating them like dirt, why didn't the whites simply expel them, or at least worked to make them into citizens?
Thirdly, the ANC is a stinking COMMIE group, who is responsible for starting this whole KILL WHITEY crap...long ago. WHY DO YOU THINK THAT "SAINT NELSON" ( spit! ) WAS IN JAIL TO BEGIN WITH?
Not defending the ANC at all and don't care for Mandela. Just saying that if apartheid had not existed, Mandela would have chosen a different route.
Most American farmers are white. I can imagine in the not-too-distant future the calls by some to “do something” about that.
Obviously you don't give a damn about FACTS,but prefer living in your own bubble of imagination FANTASY LAND!
If Apartheid was oh just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO horrible ( and I;m not promoting it ), then WHY did thousands of blacks, from other nations keep trying to ILLEGALLY INVADE South Africa?
Why, after a year and a bit of Mande3la being president, did the government owned and by then black run newspapers, in RSA all have 3/4th of the front pages say: "BRING BACK APARTHEID" ?
"OLD WIVES" TALE? The only "old wives' tales" being posted on this thread, is the specious garbage you make up and post.
When the Dutch and French first landed, the San/Bushmen, who were nomads and owned/had no land, were sometime seen.
The Zulus were in other parts and the Boers never saw them in the beginning. When they did, yes, there were a few skirmishes, but also, there were treats and land bought.
And no, the blacks, even under Apartheid were NOT forbidden to go to school; they were told to go to school.
Oh...so YOU personally knew Mandela, did you? How about his family? Have you ever been to his mother & father's MANSION? I doubt it!
Just as there were and are American black Commies ( also some from well off families and many stupid celebs, like Paul Robeson, who was a STALINIST to the end ), what makes you so certain that Nelson would have chosen a different path?
Please, please, PLEASE stop posting such obvious specious, spurious, and virtue signaling hooey!
