THE MAN HAS A POINT…… I WOULD SAY

The author of this article is 
right on the money. The fact is nobody owes
blacks anything. This is from a 
comment on a News24 site.

Please explain the term "PREVIOUSLY 
DISADVANTAGED"
Kindly make special reference to following:

1. Who 
"disadvantaged" the black people of the interior Southern Africa
before the 
(supposed) 'belligerent' white settlers moved inland in the
mid-19th century? 
What the settlers found was not hugely advanced
infrastructures -- deep 
mines, hospitals, vast libraries of written
knowledge, imposing institutions 
of learning, etc. No, as little as 170
years ago they found masses of black 
people (indigenous to the Southern tip
of Africa) living on the fringes of 
the Stone Age.
Primitive beings dressed in skins, wielding sticks, living in 
primitive
dwellings, dragging- and carrying their meager possessions around, 
since
they had not been introduced to the benefits of the wheel 
yet!

2. Ethiopia - a country that was NEVER colonised is today one of the 
most
desolate places on the planet! Who "disadvantaged" the people of 
Ethiopia?

3. Compare Zimbabwe and Germany with each other and please 
explain the
differences. In 1945 Germany was, for all intents and purposes, 
flattened to
ground and torn in half. Fifteen years later, West Germany was 
described as
an "Economic Wonder". Around the same time as the end of 
apartheid, Germany
was re-unified. It yanked the now-unified Germany back 
four centuries in
time.

Yet, in about fifteen years (for the second 
time within a few decades) it
built another 'economic wonder'. Today it is 
fast becoming a global leader
in almost every field!
On the the flip side 
- Zimbabwe's people were handed one of the wealthiest
countries in the WORLD 
(for eg: a currency that was stronger than the US
dollar!). What is the 
situation today? Competing with Ethiopia as the most
desolate hellhole on the 
planet? Please explain...

I can carry on for days -- but let that be 
enough for now.
Just one more request: please, pretty please, kindly respect 
the intellect
of our audience and refrain from cheap (ANC-like) red herrings 
for e.g.
calling people racists. Just answer the questions directly and with 
tangible
substance.
In parting, I would suggest the following: The term 
"Previously
Disadvantaged' is as much a fantasy as is the delusional lunacy 
that
threatens voters with the revenge of the ancestors. The same 
delusional
insanity that claims the words "KILL THE BOER" really, only means, 
"Come
over to my mansion for tea and cookies."

You cannot take 
something from somebody WHO NEVER HAD IT in the first place!
In fact, what is 
it that white people, specifically white men, are supposed
to "give back" to 
black people? Can someone PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE explain
to me what it is 
that white men took from blacks?

LAND? Blacks NEVER owned any land. Any 
form of formal ownership is a Western
concept. The black tribes of the 
mid-19th century haphazardly SETTLED in an
ad hoc manner -- effectively 
governed by tribal savagery - in other words,
the most savage ruled the land 
(a bit like Hillbrow today). They simply ran
away until they could not run 
any more -- not having ANY grasp of the
concept of a horizon or for that 
matter any measure of finite land mass -
for eg. The boundaries -- that is 
the fundamental concept of ownership.

MINERALS? More hallucinations aside 
-- eg ancient gold mines - a little bit
like the Zimbabwe Ruins (the 
Pyramids, etc) -- next to the magnificent
structure, the indigenous people 
built stone-age dwellings out of dirt and
sticks (at best emulating the 
birds). Minerals beneficiation is an entirely
Imperialist/Western concept -- 
in fact, in many ways it saw some of the most
tangible advances, by WHITE 
SOUTH AFRICAN MEN -- just peruse some of the
academic papers at Wits' 
Engineering Library.

WEALTH? Money, capital and the pivotal mechanisms of 
the wealth that allows
you to breathe, eat, have children, live a rather 
healthy productive and
fulfilling life, but also allowed the cognitive 
development that leads you
to make your daft comments here -- it is ALL of 
Western origins.
In fact, the key advancements in modern finance and 
economics were made by
the DUTCH. Why do you think New York's financial 
center is called 'Wall
Street'?
It was initially called 'Waal Straat'.when 
the settlement was under Dutch
control Yes, my dear, the Dutch took their 
cognitive substance there as
well.
The same Dutch that were the most 
direct descendants of the people who
landed at the Cape in 1652. In fact, the 
modern 'WEALTH system' was
originated by the Dutch and it funded the 
explorations around the tip of
Africa.

Perhaps we robbed the 
'disadvantaged' blacks of their private jets, their
Breitling watches, their 
Italian designer suits, or their German luxury
limousines, their Blue Light 
Brigades or perhaps their space shuttles?
Mmmm... I just hate the implicit 
assumption that whites stole from blacks
