The primary reason African were first enslaved was due to their agricultural prowess. They knew how to grow rice.
I am trying to ease the concerns of our right wing brethren on this board.
They are concerned that if South Africa takes back its stolen land then the locals will be unable to grow food and they will all starve. I am not sure if it is their only concern but it is the only one they are running with at the moment.
Its not farmers that cause people to starve, it's government systems. farmers didn't cause people in Africa to go hungrier it was the system of government that took over that made production inefficient.
Not all land in SA was stolen, when first whites showed up they had fair trade as well and purchased land from Africans. they took slaves at the time though, much in the same manner other black africans there were also doing and for that matter , a good number of blacks living in SA were not even from the original black inhabitants there were people displaced from wars with the Zulu as well as displacement by whites. If you feel all the land in SA is stolen, then why not round up every white in SA right now and put them in internment camps? why stop at farms?
