This is the nonsense I'm most confronted with, both by advocates of the politically correct idiocy involving the native American tribes here in the States, as well as the destructive idiocy involving the descendants of the violent savages that roamed the continent of Africa centuries ago; the notion that simply because they were there first, they somehow 'owned' the land.
Crap.
If white settlers had not arrived in America and Africa, both continents would still be savage, untamed, unutilised - with the indigenous tribes happy to kill one another and have their existences dictated by, and all natural phenomena explained by witchdoctors or medicine men.
There would be no medicine, no TV, no computers, no cities, no cars; none of the innovations of the Industrial Revolution.
In short, no civilization.
This stupid notion that blacks in Africa 'own' the land will have far more destructive consequences than that notion does here in the States.
