America is not a racist country (never was)

Apparently it is okay to attempt genocide as well - simply based on the fact the indigenous people you're trying to wipe out were not perfect.

Just FYI, there were no "indigenous" peoples in South Africa. Matter of fact, you can say there aren't any now. The blacks that made up that population in South Africa were migrants from other parts of Africa.


And genocide? LOL... Nice bit of agitprop you got there.

Ermm?

You are aware the country classification for Africa was designed by the Europeans? It was a tribal system prior to colonization.

There are registered tribes in South Africa - protected by the Tribes and Township Ministry.

You'd be right if I'd said, "migrated from Zimbabwe or DRC", but I didn't. I specifically said, "migrated from other parts of Africa".

Unless now the whole concept of "Africa" is some kind of Western conspiracy.

So Zulu's are not an indigenous group of South Africa then?

You are pretty much generalising a whole entire history of Africa. Yes, after colonisation and independence, migrant occurred but prior to that it was regional tribes (who make the indigenous groups of each African nation)

I don't know what you thought I was referring to, but I was 100% talking about North America.

As a reminder:

Racism is for Ignorant Fools

Once again, no group is indigenous to the area currently known as South Africa. Not even the Zulu, who MIGRATED there 100,000 years ago.

LMAO!

Well, I've got news for you. No one has the deed to any spot on earth tying them to the beginning time, so yeah - the Zulu's are indigenous.

*shakes head and snickers*

Sorry for the confusion.

On subject, last time I checked, there were still plenty of "native" Americans around.

Yep, and last time I checked I clearly stated ATTEMPTED genocide.

So, using your "logic", the West had every right to conquer Africa, as we're "all from there to begin with"?

The Europeans didn't do anything to these tribes that they didn't do to one another.

Do you realize you haven't made any sense in this thread yet? I'm still going to hold out hope, but seriously...your statements are making no sense.

How can you get that my statement leads to "it's okay to conquer other people for the purpose of taking their land"???

Right, and this statement is like the first statements you made that point to you believing that if some one does something wrong (anything) then it's okay to redo it or to do it to others. The Europeans were wrong when they were "doing it to each other" and they were wrong when they went elsewhere and "did it to others". It was wrong - it is wrong. It's wrong.

So now we're back to "it's their land"? Didn't you just say no one has a right to any land (sic)?

Either way...due to heavy moderation, there's really no point in continuing in this thread.

No, I did not say that.
