ooh confused person alert.. where do you get that BS !! Stole whose land, The ZULU the xosa, sotho, the only people that can be peeved off about land being stolen is the SAN. The rest of the people also traveled here, might have been a couple of years before the white man, but they still killed for that land.freeboy wrote:By us you mean the white people who came to South Africa and stole peoples' land, raped the women and generally made the people they found here's lives hell I guess.
Good for you. But what I'm saying to Doob is that he can't pull that we came to save you and make your life better card. And at no point did I blame you for rape and plunder. Lots of us on this forum are post-apartheid babies and thus cannot be blamed for the sins of the previous generations.1rr3t4t3d wrote:ooh confused person alert.. where do you get that BS !!

Then we came and actually tried at one stage to buy the land in a fair deal form the Zulus, and they slaughter the people that wanted to buy the land.
and how did I make their lives hell. WTF did I do. nothing, so why must I have a hard time for the **** my forefathers did. What we the whites did do was make South-Africa the most civilized and advanced country in Africa. Now dont go and make such statments agian before thinking it through .. ok
i do however totally agree with that statement. It is desturbing however to hear the amount of "sain" people that just are not interested in voting .. pity ..freeboy wrote:I don't have time to go around blaming people for this and that though. All the sane people in SA (asian, coloured, black and white) should either shut up or do something.
Hmm... I was supposed to go to Japan next year but I've put it off till 2010 so I'll go through the effort of voting (and not for Zuma).1rr3t4t3d wrote:i do however totally agree with that statement.

If I remember history correctly, after the great trek the boers used to obtain land peacefully by signing treaties with the chief of whichever tribe the requested land from, which usually resulted in black and white people getting drunk together, partying in celebration of the peace agreement between the two races. Dingaan was the fool who started the ***** when he betrayed the over-trusting boers, by leading them into a trap and brutally killing them after successful negotiations and merry-making.Hex_Rated wrote:freeboy - I agree with a lot of what you say except the stolen land part.

The khoi san were the only people here that had been here for 20,000+ year. Since the beginning of time. This is how it worked in those days. Unfortunately the oppression of certain races or people was practised for a long time (and is still practised either covertly or openly in certain countries). It is dying out and we're becoming less destructive.
I hear you man. We can all agree that human beings are petty, selfish, murderous, cheating and stealing dirtbags. Add any other vices you wish to that list.Hex_Rated wrote:freeboy - I agree with a lot of what you say except the stolen land part.

I've seen the parts of the country that have not benefited AT ALL from white rule, I would not like to live under those conditions (camps around Rustenberg). They are terrible. But the whites planned and had our infrastructure built by you guys. If it was not for our part, Africa would still be in ruins. Even more compared to how it is now. Zimbabwe was the breadbin of Africa, not they can't even feed themselves because of people voting for corrupt rulers, MUCH more OPENLY corrupt than leaders of first world countries who are also up to **** sometimes but they don't steal on the same scale and openly get criminals to do their dirty work.

Hopefully we will get better with time. Carl Sagan said the more advanced a species is the more peaceful it will be. He was a wise man, let's hope he's correct and we become more advanced instead of going backwards.freeboy wrote:I hear you man.
