So, in an ideal world, it is perfectly acceptable to segregate individuals based on race

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.

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.

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)

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.

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

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

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.

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"???

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.
