Correct. They didn't stroll into a black country and take over. It was desolate and wide open land.

As if it makes any difference.

They allowed themselves to be overrun by blacks and kept them as second class citizens for generations.

Pretty much the definition of retarted European colonialists if I've ever seen one.

Textbook example I'd say.

South Africans beat even Americans in the Moronic Colonialist Contest — as stupid as they were for importing black slaves and allowing the conquered Amerindians to live in their country, at least 'Mericans had the sense to keep other races' population relatively small (it's kinda amusing that black population in the U.S. peaked at 20% — just like whites' in the SA).

Now the SAs reap what they sowed.

Letting the bantu flood in was a mistake. Handing their country over after failing to rout them was another mistake. Continuing to live in the now enemy country after surrendering is not looking like the smartest move either.

The ruling class always wants cheap labor. Always. They're willing to ruin countries to get it.

And why not? They just move on afterwards. No biggie. They have no ties to the land, only to others of their kind.

Rockefeller purchased the American education system and transformed it into a worker production facility. Fast forward to today, and what is our country about? Jobs and workers...

Whoops, didn't realize I was talking to a work-at-home social media influencer. My mistake!

Your algorithm is off.

To be fair to Chipit, I am a pretty big deal on the internet. 😂
