From what I hear 'multiculturalism' means forced integration. That will not work anywhere. I don't think it's meant to work, it's just meant to
create chaos.

Well, let's consider Europe, say by the Renaissance (1600?).
Europe, and especially the British Isles were the last outpost of conquest. However, by then they had absorbed:
- the wheel (probably from fertile creasant)
- wheat, hops, barley (from mid-east)
- domesticated horses, cows, pigs, chickens (ibid)
- metal working (ibid)
- gun-powder (Chinese)
and post-1492:
tomato, potato, peppers, turkey, chilli, pineapple, Tequila (ooh), coca, maize, chocoalate, tobacco - nobody can say we are not multi-cultural!

A comparison between the Native Americans/and or aborigines is not warrented. This might be so when discussing Khoisan rights.

There were some abuses amongst the Afrikaners of blacks - that was proven and shown 10 years ago at the TRC hearings (although all the top dogs got a golden handshake and a "gooodbye".)
There is little doubt though that both informally, and formall blacks believe they are "reclaiming" a land by killing whites. The death of 3 000 white farmers was a betrayal of our political settlement.
There is also little doubt that when "White Pig" is written on the wall that one is dealing with black-on-white genocide.

Just my humble opinion....
It is true that many different tribes covered North America and the Khoisa, if I remember right, were the only tribe resident in Southern SA. I would not presume to believe that the Khoisa or any others should be able to claim a land area, unless they lived on it. Therefore, uninhabited land in SA which was lived on by the early settlers, should be claimed as their own land.
In an analogy, say some island off the coast of Africa had no inhabitants and Canada settled the land and built infrastructure. The island, even though close to Africa, would not be African property as Africans did not live there, it would be a Canadian property or territory. The same applies in the reverse, if Africans settled an uninhabited island off the coast of Canada, it would become an African territory or property. One rule has to fit all.
At the time of settling Africa by the Europeans, Africa was an "undiscovered" and borderless continent with the exception of the northern semi-developed countries like Egypt. That being the case, land mass within the borderless areas could reasonably be considered to be appropriated and apportioned to those who discovered and/or settled those areas, similar to squatters rights (of which the Afrikaaners have 300 years of squatters rights).
What is going on in SA now with AA, BEE and a host of other racist programs is simply obscene. It is the forced transfer of wealth based on nothing other than an opinion and a piece of paper. They suck it out of the middle class, the corrupt politicians do some skimming and the bulk of the wealth ends up in Oppenheimer et al's coffers.
Isn't Oppenheimer related to the Rothschilds? nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more....

Wow, re-reading, you do make a lot of good points. It's a bit convoluted. Let me just get some things clear:
- Africa was always known -part of its function was to supply slaves to the Americas, but this happened far north of SA, in West Africa.
- North America - the fact is the Indians kept their numbers limited to the environment
- Perhaps at the coastal strip there were similarities (just the Khoi had cattle): just one region was run by the Dutch East India Company, and the other by the Virginia Comapny.
The black tribes in SA were only confronted much later. They got their land, and still own it today. They need serious help, because they don't know what to do with it, and soon we (they) will face starvation.
We had reserves and those things, and kept warring tribes apart, and put billions into their development. The fact is: they were never productive farmers, and even the land given now lies fallow.
The white boers made this country blossom for all, and created the best housing and hospitals for black people in the entire Africa.
Black people from all across Africa are dying to cross our borders and live here, yet the ANC has done nothing to maintain or upgrade things.
All they do is steal and be corrupt. They changed our hospitals into torture chambers. And when I look at the constant failures, I think: We idiots handed over the best country in Africa to underveloped people who didn't even have the wheel 150 ago. What did we expect?

And now I still hear how the ideas of Thabo Mbeki were "brilliant".
He murdered 300, 000 people with his Aids denialism, and now he's telling us there's no "problem" in Darfur! He also told the world that there was no problem in Zimbabwe. What sage advice from an intellectual dwarf: just don't mention that, or you're a racist!
Drugs, booze and retarted stupidity make for much suffering.
Oh no, I'm a neo-liberalist "racist". Fine, as long as I'm not what that Mbeki is (insane?).
