That's as ridiculous as excusing the idea that blacks or the descendants of Union Army soldiers should be rampaging through the Southern US today, committing murders and robberies as retribution for past sins.
South Africa's current mess is a product of western white liberal guilt and it can be traced right back to Leftist Darling Nelson Mandela, who became the leader of a black terrorist group called the ANC in 1937.
They were funded, trained, and advised by Stalin's Govt.
They necklaced far more SA blacks with burning tires full of gasoline than they ever did whites, and under Mandela the Govt set in motion the destruction of private property rights.

Suggest you dispense w/the 'liberal guilt, Mandela, Stalin' plus the rest of your
cliche's and try the Library. It's the stone building w/the history books inside!
Nelson Mandela, despite his warts, was a visionary leader who understood that
driving the white farmers from SA would devastate the nation economically.
So he reached an accord in 1991 w/ Mangosutu Buthelezi, Chief of the Zulu,
the ranking national tribe; to maintain political tolerance and protect property
rights. This was honored by both Blacks and the White Afrikaner rulers, Botha
and DeKlerk ; as South Africa transitioned from white to majority black rule,
where it is today. Why the agreement?
Because Mandela saw what was happening in Rhodesia when Ian Smith stepped
down and hard Marxist, Robert Mugabe became PM; driving the white farmers
out and devastating what is now Zimbabwe; one of the poorest nations in Africa.
Whether it be the Boers in the Transvaal, the Portuguese in Angola and Mozambique,
the Belgians in the Congo, the French in Algeria, the Spanish in the Americas and
so on around the world, during the colonial era; the Europeans explored to acquire
wealth; a perfectly understandable ambition.
As the superior power they took what they desired but certainly didn't pay for it.
Agreed the present white South African farmers have private property rights but
those who lived there before them, some 300 years ago, did not?
Suggest you try reality rather than fantasy-land!
