Ashley Allison: America Has Yet to Do What South Africa Has Done — To Give Land Back to People Native to America

EXCERPT:

ALLISON: "So, if you think about the history of South Africa, it being an apartheid system where I think it is 80% of the population that are black Africans only own 4% of the land, that is because they were put in shantytowns and moved into areas where they had no rights. And so, 35, 30-plus years ago, they went through a revolu — the apartheid system ended and they reformed their constitution under the great leader of Nelson Mandela, and that allowed for a racial reconciliation, one that this country has yet to do. But South Africa did it, and they reformed their constitution. And part of that is that the people who are native to that land deserve their rightful land back. That is not what the Afrikaners actually want to have happen, which are the white Africans, and so who are not originally from Africa, who colonized South Africa also. And so that is what they are saying is discrimination. Now, if the constitution in South Africa is discriminatory, they have their checks and balances in that land just like we do, and that is for them to — so, if the Afrikaners don‘t actually like the land, they can leave that country."
