Humans and Bushmen? There's a difference?

I for one am glad that my people are standing up for themselves. Too long have us Khoekhoe and Sonkwa/Basarwa/San/Bushmen been forced into a plethora of dire cercumstances by the invading races i.e. the Europeans and Black Africans. It saddens me to see that a lot of my people in this video speaks setswana instead of our ancestral languages. Us as Khoekhoe & Sonkwa decendants here in South Africa have been forced by law to speak Dutch and English and abandon our languages, traditions and culture

@hxasmirl hmm because of racisim... the negro views this nomadic race of folk as inferior and ripe for the harvest.. the negro has not long been in those lands.. some 100s of year only and build nothign .. all they have is european so a desire to have somebody lower than them is strong..

[frisky2dingo]

@frisky2dingo oh also bantu negro africans in thier culture dont consider bushmen as humans........ they are considered like a talking animal , something in bantu culture linking bantus and other humans to the animal world. they view the bushmen and the pygmy's as their property and as an animal to be owned hunted and domesticated as they please.. the bantu race is not a civilized one

[frisky2dingo]

@whayes8084 apparently yes. in the way that they are the most genetically different from all other humans..

@FokBibi Your point is not clear. 

[FokBibi]

@DeltaNordicAdvance You don't understand? They must move because of diamonds. Diamonds is for the rich people. Now we don't talk about colonialism or bad whites against good blacks. It's the time of capitalism man!
