So let me get this straight - when native Americans in the US were being pushed off their land, mostly by brutal force, that was just the nature of the world and the native Americans were dumb and weak for letting it happen. The same thing happened in SA with white Europeans taking land that belonged to native SAs and we’re cool with that too. Also a few hundred years of brutal oppression that made the Jim Crow south look good in comparison.
So now the tables have turned and we’re supposed to be outraged that native SAs are doing the same thing the Europeans did? Man I wish I lived in a historical context free world like you guys.
Wonder who'll keep the power on for him to play that sound system? And is that guy dragging a washing machine?Former South African President’s Son Pleads: Loot ‘Responsibly’

'White People Will Be The First Target': South Africa's Julius Malema warns of impending 'violence' because 'the poor are getting poorer'
A South African opposition figure has warned of impending civil unrest in the continent's richest country and likened it to 'an Arab Spring.'
The controversial opposition leader Julius Malema spoke of the country waking up one day with 'very angry people that are not going to be reasonable.'
Discontent with the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party in South Africa is at all-time high levels due to the social conditions within the country and 'the poor becoming poor,' according to Malema.
'When the unled revolution comes... the first target is going to be white people,' Mr Malema told the BBC's Hardtalk programme, adding that the uprising would also target 'black elites.'

Stand and fight is what we want to do. But stand and fight is the worst choice. The people in this situation will not win against the government...especially a government which presumes to have the moral high ground to right an injustice. The better choice is to sell and resettle in a more hospitable location.Just curious: What should the people do in a situation like this if they have been on this land for generations, but the govt has turned hostile against them: Should they stand and fight or should they leave? Should they receive outside support and arms if they decide to stay on their land?
