Some people believe they have a right to land based on claims from millennia ago.

I suppose you could question their sanity, but the point stands - history has a short memory, and a few generations are nothing.

Especially when the after-effects of slavery, including segregation, disenfranchisement through gerrymandering and for-profit imprisonment, and other forms of continuing violence, are still live issues today.
