even if africans at the time lived like nomads, slavery changed that and the blood sweat and tears of the black man built that new farmland...
I think white people in SA control like 95% of the wealth even today...this has to change...and there is no pretty solution to it...

If the someone was able to come with a few boats and so easily enslave a native population (that was in *much* greater numbers then them - it's not like 90% of the dutch population suddenly floated there), then this suggests that the natives were significantly less developed. They were less developed during roman times, they were less developed during the middle ages, and they were less developed in the 1700 or 1800s or whenever the dutch invaded. It could be assumed that left to their own devices they would again not have advanced forward in farming, weapons, social, economy, government without that colonization.
