15 Years After Land-Grabs, Mugabe Invites White Farmers Back To Zimbabwe
File this one away in the "when populism backfires" folder.
A little over a month after announcing that the Zimbabwean dollar - which, you’re reminded, was phased out in 2009 after inflation rose modestly to 500 billion percent - would be demonetized and exchanged at a generous rate of $5 for every 175 quadrillion, Zimbabwe will for the first time rethink the sweeping land grabs which began in 2000 and subsequently crippled the country’s economy.
Many Zimbabwean farmers who have stopped growing food in favor of "green gold" (tobacco) fear they will starve this winter after a severe drought and a generalized "lack of knowledge" left them with a subpar crop that fetched little at auction. Here’s more from Rueters:
Thousands of small-scale farmers in Zimbabwe fear they will be going hungry this winter after abandoning traditional staples like maize, sorghum and groundnuts for tobacco, a cash crop known locally in this southern African nation as "green gold".
For 15 years after Zimbabwe's agriculture sector collapsed in the face of President Robert Mugabe's seizure of white-owned farms to resettle landless blacks, the tobacco industry has been booming, with farmers funded by private firms to grow tobacco.
But this switch, coupled with the worst regional drought in nearly a decade, has left Zimbabwe in a precarious food situation. Many farmers have complained of low prices as the season ends while buyers argue the quality of the crop was poor.
The tobacco industry has become the country's biggest export earner with over 88,000 growers registered with the tobacco regulatory body, the Tobacco Industry and Marketing Board, in the 2014/15 season, up from 52,000 in 2012.
But the returns are often uncertain and many farmers have been left disappointed.
Industry figures showed that at the end of the selling season this month farmers sold 188.5 million kgs worth $555 million, down 8.5 percent from a year ago when the crop was worth $654 million.
"It was a disaster," said David Muyambo, 35, a father of four, who earned $74 from tobacco sales this season after investing $1,200 in his crop. "I need to buy food for my family and I have no money."
Muyambo blames his failure on erratic rains, which decimated his crop, as well as his lack of knowledge on how to apply fertilizer, remove suckers and cure the crop.
Muyambo said he will never farm tobacco again.
With more farmers focused on tobacco, Zimbabwe's harvest of maize, a staple food, dropped by 49 percent in the 2014/15 season, the government said, which is set to exacerbate food shortages in Zimbabwe, once the bread-basket of the region.
Against this rather dreary backdrop, the government is beginning to reconsider its stance towards white farmers and will, according to The Telegraph, "give official permission for some whites to stay on their land."
Via The Telegraph:
Zimbabwe’s government has for the first time suggested it may give official permission for some white farmers to stay on their land, 15 years after it sanctioned widespread land grabs that plummeted the country into an economic crisis.
Douglas Mombeshora, the Zanu-PF Lands Minister, said provincial leaders had been asked to draw up a list of white farmers they wanted to stay on their farms deemed to be “of strategic economic importance”.
“We have asked provinces to give us the names of white farmers they want to remain on farms so that we can give them security of tenure documents to enable them to plan their operations properly,” Mr Mombeshora said.
More than 4,000 white farmers lost their land after Mr Mugabe lost a referendum to the new Movement for Democratic Change party and, in a bid to regain popularity, authorised land grabs by disaffected war veterans.
Today, fewer than 300 white farmers remain on portions of their original land holdings in Zimbabwe and many of the seized farms lie fallow, meaning the former Breadbasket of Africa has to import food to feed its population.
Among remaining farmers who have been recommended for a reprieve of Mr Mugabe’s edict that whites can no longer own land in Zimbabwe is Elizabeth Mitchell, a poultry farmer who produces 100,000 day-old chicks each week.
And so once again we see that necessity (a food shortage) breeds invention (rethinking populist land grabs), but lest anyone should believe that Mugabe has done a complete 180, we'll close with the following advice given to supporters at a recent Patriotic Front rally:
"Don't be too kind to white farmers. They can own industries and companies, or stay in apartments in our towns but they cannot own land. They must leave the land to blacks.”

I had a hunting guide in SA who was chased off his parents farm. They escaped with their lives but lost everything. I'm sure he's eager to go back and contribute to that wonderful society.
Great idea Mugabe! Just screen carefully to avoid the chosenites because you will eventually regret that. Ask Idi Amin...

Lucky for Mugabe that Rhodesians NEVER DIE.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ5dXbbku5I
Mugabe has killed that golden goose - raped it, strangled it, and disemboweled it. After the hell Mugabe has put white Rhodesian farmers through, I'd be shocked if any of them took Mugabe up on his offer. Let Zimbabwe starve.
Forward (over the cliff)!
@Bad Attitude
Great point...and I hear that Mugabe is a graduate from the London School of Economics.
So it all makes much more sense now, huh? LOL
Well I'll be damned. Turns out all the magical thinking in the world can't make up for an 85 average IQ.
Whitey!! Whitey, come back!!
But as Whitey has an average 100 IQ, I doubt there will be many takers.
As usual, everyone blames the failure of Whites on Nigger stupidity. How does that make any sense?
The Whites there did okay for how many years? Then suddenly they were too weak to defend themselves? Yeah, Mmmhmm...
Apparently it takes a genius to see the Whites in southern Africa were betrayed by outside forces. Hmmm... I wonder who that was...? As I've said before, the war between YT and himself is just getting started and it will be ugly.
Fool me once..........
Kinda sounds like what's happening in the US right now, what with 0bongo's HUD plan to airdrop hoodrats into every white neighborhood in the country.
However, I'm sure blue enclaves will be the exception, like when Holder said Sausalito, CA was "too white", then large democrat donors made a few phone calls and Holder shut his black ass up.
ahahahaha. Everything I said yesterday, I present this to all the fuckheads who downvoted me. Not only cant they not build a functioning society, they can't even maintain one that they FORCEFULLY took from others. Good luck starving to death, if the AIDS doesn't get you first.
At least our black politicians are smart enough not to FORCE the white people out. They leave slowly on their own over here.
It's rather telling that the majority of you mouthbreathers are not descendants from the ancient Greeks, who laid the foundations of the Western civilization.
The rest of Europe was living in hunter-gatherer tribal communities at that time, complete with witchdoctors, shamans, and elders. Much like the people in Africa, as a matter of fact.
You have invented nothing of Western civilization, nor have you contributed anything of any significance to it. You merely exist within it, misusing and squandering its gifts. Does that damning criticism sound oddly familiar to you?
Hey AssLickiss Finguss, Tesla
. Today, fewer than 300 white farmers remain
There are still whites in zimbabwe? How stupid do you have to be to watch your neighbors getting killed or run off their land, then thrown off your own land by hordes of hostile apes and still decide to stay?
Steam engine, automobile, computer, steel, microscope, calculus...
None of which was invented by the "whites" or the "Europeans" as a collective, but by individuals gifted with insight and intellect. Such capable individuals exist across all cultures and nations, a fact which today's globalized society duly showcases.
The White Supremacy nutjobs around here have contributed none of the things you mentioned to the world -- they merely make use of innovations that other, more gifted inviduals than them have pioneered. Ironically,this places them in the same position that they accuse many black people of being in.
Of course, psychopaths are not noted for being introspective.
uh - try James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay who collectively wrote the Federalist Papers (check it out from your local library).
Others involved in the invention of modern society include James Monroe, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Patrick Henry, Samuel Adams and John Adams (a direct relative of my family).
NoVa
And still not you. Who your ancestors may or may not have been has nothing to do with who you are.
>>>>>>>> Who your ancestors may or may not have been has nothing to do with who you are.
Right, because there is no such thing as DNA or inherited traits from previous generations.
I am a psychopath? What does that make you?
Name for us all those negros who were the great inventors and scientific minds.
Create that long list of advancements that attributed to better life for all of mankind.
This should be very enlightening to red
eirik, moved to the dark continent yet?, they got a pot waiting for you to jump in..LOL what a numbnuts.
You have no idea what any of us contributed.
Yes, we live in society that was built by OUR ancestors.
Our people continue to make further contributions.
We are the descendents who have overcome the oppression of science and progress by centuries of religious dogma and still are responsible for nearly every advancement that is enjoyed today. This includes mass production that resulted from the industrial evolution to electricity and resulting plathora of electronic devices. Then there is the internal combastion engine, jet engine as well as space travel.
The people of Asia do not complain about any of this because they are intelligent enough to live in an advanced society and make their own contributions. So we have Samsong and Toshiba and Sony making very advanced electronics.
What exactly did Africa produce? What does it produce now?
Nothing. It produced nothing more than stone age crap.
What's so bad about hunter gatherers? Shamen? Witchdoctors? As for the Greeks, they werer divided into groups of a few free people and a huge number of slaves. The slave owning Spartans practiced infanticide big time. What was Mt. Olympus other than witch-doctory and shamanism? Who do you think built the Parthenon? Free people? Not even, bro.
Outside forces ? Please explain
Who or what is YT ?
Pronounce YT 10 times slowly until you finally understand.
Only took me 3 times. Does that mean my IQ is 120+ ?
Actually, that 85 figure you cited for black IQ is for America (where most blacks have an admixture of white DNA). In sub-Saharan Africa... the average black IQ is somewhere around 65 (that's considered literally "imbecile").
So, once Mugabe became dictator for life in the great democratic shake-down 35 years ago, he let the black squatters - in all their idiodic glory - freely trespass, murder and eat the seed corn of the white Rhodesian farmers. Let them starve, thus reducing their populations to more natural and managable levels. They'll never be grateful to whitey for anything he gives them anyway. If they want to rule themselves, let them suffer the consequences of their own ineptitude.
They won't starve. They'll either decimate the beautiful wildlife, or obama will bring them to the us. Oh dear god, please spread a disease that wipes out the upright walking ape.
My wife is of Sudanese descent, and both her and my brother-in-law are more astute and educated than any of the cretins here ranting and raving about "statistics" that they've found on Stormfront.
Look on the bright side, however. Your "racially pure" children can bag the groceries of our healthier, more ethnically diverse children in the future to come.
Then why are you here? Suppose you help me understand the "healthier" part? So far, statistics don't agree with you on longevity.
So why is Sudan such a shithole?
Lol, I'll take your kaffer challenge! Please tell me what is your chief intellectual epiphany and demonstrate it. In the meantime I'll tell you mine, to set the standard for the discussion: our reality is a simulation (and includes billions of independent yet co-existing simulations), the end-game (or purpose) being the salvation or doom of our very souls. Your turn!
Africans don't have an IQ of 85. American Americans do because so many niggers have raped white women. The average IQ of Africans is 70. That's two standard deviations below the white average.
This is as uninformed as it gets. The primary reason that the black people in the USSA have caucasian DNA is because the white slave masters were busy raping slaves - or other inter relations during that time.
Your use of the inflamatory slur shows you like all others who use it are mere shills attempting to degrade legitimate dialog.
Any of you ignorant fools who insist on using your inciteful and hateful language need to go back to your handlers and get different assignments. Go troll your politician/bankster masters, put your beggarly talents to good use.
Fuckin liar. From one article:
After researching the FBI numbers for “Suicide of a Superpower,” this writer concluded: “An analysis of ‘single offender victimization figures’ from the FBI for 2007 finds blacks committed 433,934 crimes against whites, eight times the 55,685 whites committed against blacks. Interracial rape is almost exclusively black on white — with 14,000 assaults on white women by African Americans in 2007. Not one case of a white sexual assault on a black female was found in the FBI study.”
Though blacks are outnumbered 5-to-1 in the population by whites, they commit eight times as many crimes against whites as the reverse. By those 2007 numbers, a black male was 40 times as likely to assault a white person as the reverse.
If interracial crime is the ugliest manifestation of racism, what does this tell us about where racism really resides — in America?
And if the FBI stats for 2007 represent an average year since the Tawana Brawley rape-hoax of 1987, over one-third of a million white women have been sexually assaulted by black males since 1987 — with no visible protest from the civil rights leadership.

Ignorance and lies are the hallmarks of White Supremacy. It's very encouraging to come across a voice of reason in this hate-infested cesspool.
Name calling does not change facts. It has nothing to do with white supremacy, racism, or any other bullshit you want to drag out and fling around like some monkey. There is NO black run country in the world that isn't a third world shithole ruled by kleptocrats. Even white cities taken over by blacks soon turn into ghettos. Blacks simply have low IQs coupled with big egos. A bad combination exploited by Jews. Call it master blaster syndrome.
Perish the thought that a wanton destruction of social cohesion and the rampant looting of natural resources by European colonists (i.e.: thugs and thieves) might be the underlying causes of Africa's struggles today. Your position has everything to do with a delusional belief in White Supremacy and racial hierarchy, and many other well-understood sociological phenomena studied by anthropologists.
Long before westerners visited Africa, African war lords were selling slaves to the Arabs and Jews. The discovery of the Americas opened another market for slaves. Without western culture, ideas and products, Africa would still be nothing but a collection of stone age tribes. It's easy to see this reversion in Zimbabwe, South Africa and any American city in which blacks are the dominant population. Your refusal to see the truth is your problem asshole.
So did the Vikings, who sold many Eastern European women (particularly from the Balkan peninsula) to Arab slave traders during the Viking Age. Moreover, "Western culture" is primarily a consequence of the labors of the ancient Greeks, who established philosophy and formal logic at a time when people such as us were still living in hunter-gatherer tribal communities, just like the people of Africa.
Moreover, if we were to suddenly turn over control of this modern technological society to the bigotry, the pseudo-science and the overall incompetence of delusional White Supremacy nuts like yourself, we would soon witness marked declines in living standards, scientific advancements and human rights just the same. This is why it's vitally important to educate people like you where possible, and to publicly ridicule you where not.
Compulsive lying and the very selective cherrypicking of information remains a vital tool to keep the lie of White Supremacy standing, it seems. Same as it ever was.
The Greeks did not invent the space program, computers, google or much of anything else we all take for granted. There are living examples every day of black stupidity. They still can't feed themselves in Africa. Where's their space program, hubble telescope, etc. Slavery ended 150 years ago yet they are still whining in this country despite affirmative action, billions in welfare and every other kind of advantage. Blacks are the losers of the human race. Low man on the totem pole. It has nothing to do with racism or supremacy. It is just a fact. Deal with it.
Vikings were not selling eastern European women from the Balkan peninsula but from the Crimean peninsula (a little bit to the East and North, check the map). Furthermore, the vikings could not have sold slaves in the 10th-12th centuries in the Balkans since that area was under the control of the Byzantine Empire (with a bit of a gap in the 11th century when the area was under the control of the Bulgarian-Dacian empire who broke away by force of arms from the Byzantine Empire).
About the ancient Greeks that only established that using rigorous reason is one of the ways to attain truth they were not the first to do it, see the mathematical, medical, law and music achievements coming out of Summer, Akkad, Assyria, Babylon, Phoenicia, Anatolia and Egypt, 2000 to 3000 years prior to the high day of classical Greece. In addition Greece itself could trace its roots (if not genetically, but definitely culturally and in respect to their gods and traditions) through Egypt back to Summer. All in all the western civilization was stronger influenced by the old world of Summer than the round-about way of Greece philosophy and we owe to that most of our misfortunes (thank God for the Reformation that ended the old yoke of falsehood and opened man to more serious discussions that culminated about 1890 in the Old and New World and has now resumed with the best reach ever).
The rest of your text starts with a non-sense and wonders off into random personal bias so that's all i can comment on it. Next time please try to string words in such a manner as to make some sense.
EML,
Too bad we have to see this type of trolling. These guys do this either because they are paid or because they are crazy. If in fact these guys are as ignorant as they write, they are a minority and I will never tolerate this behavior in person.
Last time I was in South Africa (about 7 years ago) I met a guy who JUST came from Zimbabwe two days earlier. His name was David. Kicked off the land that had been farmed by his family for multiple generations. They gave him 24 hours to leave.
Here's the catch...he had 800 employees who became immediately unemployed. His land? Handed to some friend of a government VIP. The problem? They didn't know how to operate any of the equipment or understand farming. So he said what always happened was the productivity of the land drops about 90% and the country ends up starving.
...good job Mugabe.
Sounds about right.
Same thing happens here in the US. Just takes a little longer.
this guy should have taken a lesson from our inner city black 'progressives': you don't force whitey out with threats of violence, you guilt trip him into staying by making him feel racist for not wanting black neighbors while simultaneously raising taxes through the roof. Our politicians at least know that black people, based on years and years of evidence, cannot typically maintain a farm or business, so it makes much more sense to let the original owners stay and run it while you extract more and more of their wealth until they finally give up and leave for greener pastures. THEN you can typically pick up the property, for much less money, and finish of the distruction. He needs to call the mayor of one of our inner cities for some lessons, That Mugabe guy is a fuckin piker.
They actually ripped up irrigation pipes to... Sell them for scrap metal!
A buck today, soldjah!
Farming's easy. Said every despot revolutionary ever.
If only they would starve out but, oh no!

Good video. I was just thinking about Idi Amin.
He knew the Israelis well, which is why he kicked them out of Uganda.
Can't go around telling the truth, particularly about Israel... Otherwise you will be branded a murdering, psychopathic, jew-soap making monster that gasses millions with bug spray.
"Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past."
Yes. They smeared the hell out of Amin. What a closed minded antisemite. We should all learn to love our cheesepope captors.
Didn't Idi Amin used to eat his enemies? They are all cannibals. In America they eat your figuratively by taxing you into supporting them all the while screaming what a racist you are.
And he also kicked out the Indians. Which put the country's literacy rate in the single digits.
I have had a lifetime of being taught "equality" among all races. After seeing what the black Zimbabweans did to the white farmers turns my stomach. I say let them starve. I'm over accepting people just because of the color of their skin. I judge a man by his work ethic and compassion towards other humans. I hope Mugabe gets what's coming to him.
The Mayor endorses you!
Will Mugabe hire whitey to straighten out their stock exchange next?

Once bitten, twice shy.
Oddly, hundreds of thousands of dumb white males in TN, TX plsu other southern, midwest and other states cheer on Trayvon/Mugabe/Obola thugs playing ball when they are not playing Knock Out Games or Ferguson.
Dumb whites cheering on their own genocide. 112,000 at U of TN on any saturday in the fall. Whites have no clue. they support their own genocide.
They have to cheer them on. Americans love them some false idols.
Clueless white fan boys love their Trayvon ball players. They cheer on the genocide of the white race like idiots.
College football : The opiate of America?
"112,000 at U of TN on any Saturday in the fall."
It's just a different "Bread and Circus" to distract stupid, fat, lazy over entitled Romans (Americans) as their society burns.
When they disembowel Mugabe it will be the start of improvement.
There will be another Colonel to replace him.
The problem is Colonels.
Stupid african communist have done it again, now on to Baltimore !
Dear Commie Rat Bastard,
You can not "unrape" all the white women and children your soldiers molested.
Needless to say you can not bring the dead white farmers back to life either.
Starve you mother fucking commie bastard.
You and all your shitty communist fucktards.
P.S. - What that nation really needs is a large scale return of the Selous Scouts.
Obviously a Mossad agent.
Fucking Obama agent
Once again, free shit proves to be the most expensive shit there is.
truer words have never been spoken. there is a bumper sticker Ive seen around here a few times since obamacare was made into law that said something like "if you think healthcare is expensive NOW, just wait 'til its FREE" unfortunately I think that one probably goes ove most people's heads around here. FL public schools and all
it is for sure way more expensive in any way then other solutions. but I don't see here a willingness to realize that there are, for example in Britain or France, national health services that do function
relatively expensive, yes, but again, it's a question of "how much", to be judged with numbers, not by simple rules of thumb
ZH: "File this one away in the "when populism backfires" folder"
populism backfires... always. now there you find a rule of thumb that works
your "Obamacare" is a hideous monstrosity, don't get me wrong. too complex by far, too corruptible, because of that, grafted on a previous system that was already too expensive and corrupted
"how much", btw, can be measured by percentage points of GDP. France's system costs roughly 11% of GDP, and is actually less of a "state-system" then for example Canada's or the UK's
in fact, Obama could have just adopted it. but that's populism, too, the thing about being always convinced that the own brewed solutions must be better
Just give it a couple decades - this will replay when the Euronaunts invite Greece back into the EU. Then like now - run like hell.
You reep what you sow! Suck on it Mugabe!
It should be like that, but trust me Mugabe is not hurting one bit.
He has billions stashed away and is living large.
It is the the everyday man on the street that is staving and suffering.
Hahahahahahaha this is too funny. Kicked the white man out so go ahead and eat your parched, nuturient depleted DIRT!!
Boy, what a deal! Mugabe's message to whites: Work the land and feed us, since we're too fucking stupid to do it ourselves, but we still own the land.
Yeah, that's incentive for you.
Well they may offer some pussy that I know several folks who would take that deal. It would be the next day when the Red Cross comes around educating the locals about Aids the white guy starts to realize he just fucked up.
Good ol' days of Reconstruction. When it looked like blacks were going places, going up, uP, UP. North, that is. Please take the rest of 'em!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_Anderson
Is this a tacit admission by Mugabe that African Africans can't get the job done by themselves?
That's RACIST!!!
dats rayciss!
Whites: racism is bad, let's give half our wealth to the blacks.
Blacks: whites shall not be allowed to own land.
I've read several articles about Mugabe taking the land of white famers as well as his attempt to lure the whites back. In the articles it is never referred to as racism. Apparently whites are the only ones smart enough to practice racism.
No, you have it all wrong.
Whites are cursed by God with original sin while no one else is. All whites are guildy of racism from birth, nothing they say or do throughout their lives chances this. Other people are born pure and only brought down by White Priviledge which is responsible for everything bad in the world.
Just grow some fucking opium poppy. Obama and his midget Holder will send a check every 1st of the month.

thats the problem with africa, to many black people...
Mugabe is by no means a man I would endorse but sometimes I wonder about how much of his attitude and actions was shaped by the actions and attitudes of the British.
There is no doubt however that a severe drought coupled with incompetence might rid the land of this poisonous man. The only problem is that many years of his rhetoric has poisoned many of his cronies.
He's in power because of his cronies, who got the land taken from the whites.They were on board during the Rhodesian War, so I don't think they've been misled anywhere.
And what we know of sub-Saharan Africa pre-colonization, it's homegrown kleptocracy rather than imitation of the colonial powers.
Yeah, but that inflation of 500 billion percent was just . . transitory. It may have been a function of the weather. It must have been snowing a lot in . . Zimbabwe.

Who would have thought ripping assets from people that had to produce in order to live (off of what those assets provided) and giving them to political insiders and supporters would have failed. hum.
Rhodesia was an amazing place. The White farmers grew tea, my interest, and tobacco. Amongst other agricultural produce. It was the breadbasket of Africa. The tiny number of Whites produced ALL THAT FOOD! Ever since America and England's choice, ROBERT MUGABE, has been in power White farmers have been murdered, their wives raped, including ELDERLY people. Just as is now happening in South Africa. Which the West's MSM NEVER touch upon, ever.
The Rhodesian Ridgeback, a friend of mine, from Texas, had moved to Rhodesia and bred them. He bred an outstanding example of the breed. They were a bit oversize in terms of breed standards but for guard duty that is a + not a -. When it was clear that the White-hating Communists, the TERRS as they called them were going to take over the reins of government he went to SA taking his dogs with him. At that point I lost contact with my friend. That was many years ago.
Then the Whites trying to placate America and England, and I might add that the American government chose to buy chromium which is VITAL to jet engine manufacture from the SOVIET UNION, rather than Rhodesia, which was a fierce anti-Communist state and a true FRIEND to America and the West, had a black Bishop Abel Muzorewa run as leader and he won the election, but the USA and the UK were not satisfied they wanted Joshua Nkomo, who really looked like a gorilla, and I hope not to insult the gorilla kind, or the African version of Obama, ROBERT MUGABE. And so America and the UK got what they wanted because the government of South Africa, which was HEAVILY INFILTRATED by the Tribe, sold them out. And we all know how that worked out for South Africa. Ian Smith was a REAL man, a wonderful man.
To really understand what happened, rather what was LOOMING on the horizon I can only recommend an Englishman who lived in Joburg, Anthony Jacob's WHITE MAN, THINK AGAIN! published in Johannesburg in 1965.
Why you should read it, and the day will come when it is BANNED, is to understand your future.
He talks about the USA in his book, now it was, of course, a different world, yet the lessons are true because they are eternal verities.
THE COMING DARKNESS: A Warning for Americans: A message from South Africa
Written in 2000 by the wife of a former conservative member of parliament, they still reside in South Africa.
The Third World is different - different peoples with different pasts and different cultures. Yet Westerners continue to mistake the psychology of the Third World and its peoples. Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe are perfect examples of those mistakes. Sierra Leone is in perpetual civil war, and Zimbabwe - once the thriving, stable Rhodesia - is looting the very people (the white men) who feed the country. Yet Westerners do not admit that the same kind of savagery could come to America when enough immigrants of the right type assert themselves. The fact is, Americans are sitting ducks for Third World exploitation of the Western conscience of compassion.
Those in the West who forced South Africa to surrender to the ANC and its leaders did not consider Africa to be the dangerous, corrupt, and savage place it is now in Zimbabwe and South Africa. Those Western politicians now have a similar problem looming on their own doorsteps: the demand for power and treasure from the non-Western peoples inside the realm.
Great post.
When I visited the post apartheid eutopia of South Africa I wasn't too impressed. We spent most of our time in the Karoo plains, away from the cities, but Joburg and Cape Town were terrifying.
Fuck the Marxist ANC.
Jo berg is a tense place. When I was there we would always travel in groups and stay within the gated walls of the Hilton after dark. Flew out to the easy coast (Richard's Bay) on that trip to visit the customer and went to a nature preserve on a Saturday. The 2 hr ride was scary as hell but the animals I saw (w/o a fence between me and them) were amazing.

That is proving to be a myth; its constructs -- shallow service enabled by met expectations -- are being exposed.
Quite sardonic, I think that's your intent.
Too little too late; the story of my life.

Further proof that negros are incapable of governing themselves. Always relying on Whitey......
You can say that again!

" Mugabe Invites White Farmers Back To Zimbabwe"
Mugabe.. The piece of shit should be "necklaced"
A tire dowsed in diesel fuel hanging around his neck, set on fire would be the proper end to that waste of skin!
P.S. With a broom stick shoved well up his ass.
@wmbz
Necklacing was Winnie Mandela's favorite tactic, the wife of Nelson Mandela, CONVICTED TERRORIST who is LOVED by the American, make that Bolshevik, government and the similarly rotted government of Great Britain. God how both nations have fallen into the abyss. They teach YOUR children in University that Nelson was a HERO, well they CONTROL the media and the education system, Franz Boas, tribe member, sewed up the anthropological departments of major universities including Columbia with his acolytes by 1915.
very good post --+1 I have told my children about the"necklace" years ago--they know and understand much---
Sad and weird how blacks can't seem to manage things without whites. Is there a successful black country anywhere in the world? They self segregate and blame whites for lack of black progress.
Is there a successful black run city in the US?
Forward (over the cliff)?
Oprah, Jaycee, and Lawrence Fishberg are going to start a new colony called New Blackjoo Island. Somewhere near Hawaii or something.
Did that get me in the Obama racist database?
Gail and Oprah will be the sows.
Isn't Haiti a sucess? Liberia? Nigeria?
I thnk Haiti was a big success until the Clinton foundation looted their massive aid program.
Never mind countries or cities -- is there even a black neighborhood that isn't a disaster area? How about black inventions, or any significant contribution to human progress.
...significant contribution to human progress.
Apples and oranges.

Never mind the commie victim slant of that article. Where 2 fight a 3rd wins. The sephardic slavers are the problem, not the blacks. Not the whites. The Lehmans. This may be why Lehman assets had to be redistributed, so that jewish gangsters can claim reparations instead of paying for their ongoing crimes against humanity. Deceive and rule. Commie victim rhetoric.
Think of all the countries that are mostly black with black leaders, and look at their advanced space programs. Amazing what they can point to that they invented, pioneered, manufactured, and put into practice. Truly a success story.
Blacks are a global charity case and cannot feed themselves. Everywhere in the world that blacks live they only survive on hand outs from benevolent white people. If the white world withdrew food aid and medical support from Africa they would literally die off by the hundreds of millions. There are no blacks in Asia because Asians will not give them free food/housing/everything and will not put up with their violent, savage behavior.
They were set upon whites living in Africa by communists and race agitators. Now their infrastructure is falling apart because they cannot maintain it. They cannot produce anything of value when left to their own devices. Now the Chinese are swarming in and taking up the mantle of providing some intellect and management for these poor creatures.
Whites should NOT return to Africa, EVER. Only to be butchered again and have the world turn its back on you when you try to flee the genocide of whites in Africa as an asylum seeker/refugee. Meanwhile Europe, America, Australia etc. are more than happy to take in unlimited numbers of dirt poor, uneducated, unskilled black African refugees after they told the white South Africans "you deserve to be slaughtered, no sanctuary for you or your children" during the genocide of whites in South Africa.
Few whites are stupid enough to willingly travel to any part of Africa these days. Those that are stupid enough often end up slain by Muslims in places like Egypt and Tunisia.
Right, Anyone other than Africans shouldn't ever try and "Improve" or Enrich themselves via Africa. Because they'll end up producing more Africans who will then be dependant on this surplus. Which will inveitebly fail, due to racial tension or outright breakdown. Africa is best left to the indegenous. Imperialisim/Pioneering just leaves a lot of natives looking at pictures of the King or Queen inevitably lusting for the northern lattitudes.
19-20th Century Europeans must have thought race was a social construct lol.
That's why I can't wait for China to take over Africa. I'm sick of psychotically altruistic white shits that cry over their "cruel" ancestors alleged actions. A race that impaired really needs to become forgotten history.
They don't have a history (no written language), least not until the European gave them one and a chance at having a destiny.
Old man, fund me a cannabis farm, and I'll provide your young wife all of the medicine she needs to tolerate your ugly mug!

let them eat....dirt.
They are eating dirt. That's all that's left.
Not yet. They can eat each other. African tradition, you know.
Fuck 'em. I'd plant poison ivy, then take a two year vacation in Argentina.
Lol...white male supremacy. You fellows really don't get it and I understand why...you are the descendants of slave owners or beneficiaries of white power in the US. You believe that your power in the world is given to you by GOD. There was a time that intelligent blacks were tared and feathered before being hung if they displayed any type of aptitude that would challenge white power. This was done in front of all other blacks to see as to quell any type of progression. While I don't agree with Mugabe and how he handled the white farmers...I understand that there was a deep history that led up to the Rhodesian war and the atrocities that ensued. I once read WILLIE LYNCH LETTER and the US made a little more sense as a black man....but wondered how could mankind behave in such a manner. Enslavement of one man by another...but alas with hands thrown in the air...on a website that once was a gathering place of egg heads focused on truth through conversation about current events....has devolved into a free for all of hatred and bigotry. If you really think that all blacks are stupid...and deserve to not exist...then I can only pray for the future because this country and world is in deep trouble. One cannot exist with might alone...and when has doing the same thing over and over made sense? I no longer wonder why ISIS has arisen and why cities around the world die and are reborn only to die again...there is so much hatred...which is I guess human nature...hate what is different. We humans are more alike than you realize or care to admit....
RANT OFF...
It took you quite a while to get from " Lol...white male supremacy. You fellows really don't get it and I understand why...you are the descendants of slave owners ..." to here.
"Enslavement of one man by another...but alas with hands thrown in the air...on a website that once was a gathering place of egg heads focused on truth through conversation about current events....has devolved into a free for all of hatred and bigotry."
And you have what to say exactly about blacks enslaving blacks or "Moors" coming across the Med to enslave "whites" or Arabs enslaving BOTH.
Go read a fucking history book.
There you go again --assuming he can read--he just told you he wasn't allowed to read and would be hanged, skinned alive or what ever---you have no idea what it's like to be black and look in the mirror every morning.
He knows, "Enslavement of one man by another...but alas with hands thrown in the air..." but he wants to make some asinine point that doesn't pass the smell or reality test and wants to throw down "the black victim card" instead of throwing down the FREE FUCKING MAN card and I'm fucking sick of that shit.
With my "hands thrown in the air" and all despondence of the circumstances of life that has been presented me, I was born a poor "white child"...so what-the-fuck-ever...I never asked anyone for jack shit OR expected anything OR devolved into self pity.
Suck it up is all I'm sayin, be a goddamned man and you'll be treated as one.
thanks for the reply---I forgot the sarc/ logo ---my bad however yours is a pretty good comment
"I'm fucking sick of that shit".
The Rabbi getting all passionate where's MsCreanté?
Mr Magician-- a little known fact----the blacker you talk and act and argue--the whiter I get-- that my friend is human nature--- weep if you will but in your shoes I would hedge accordingly. In other words if it ain't you they are talking about personally let it slide-- you are an individual after all, are you not?
If i as a white man am today guilty for predecessor whites even unrelated, owning slaves, then under the simple doctrine of original sin which you thereby expose, all blacks should be in jail.
Asshole
Never confuse priveledge with dominance.

Blah, blah, blah - must be a Harvard grad.
"BlackMagician" Is that a reference to your planetary existence of head hunting, cannibalism, and Santeria? You couldn't feed your ass without whitey spooning it into your gapping yawl. Can you hold a spoon yet, or still with the hand and finger? Arsenio Hall ringtail.
yes, it is troubling seeing as many commenters on this site seem to cavalierly be willing to lump the entire race by color into an intelligence pit....pretty pathetic
i come to zh because other than this issue it seems the best place for level headed intelligent reasoned opinions and references.
I was victim around 10 years ago to the "knock-out" game while walking in a park in Oakland, CA with my girlfriend at the time...fortunately, the 4 young black who came from behind me to hit me only glanced an elbow off my head...as I turned to look what happened, I saw 4 youths, none taller than me or bigger than me....I just looked at them, and they quickly turned and hurried away....I yelled out "I Love You " ....to them.... I hope that none of them would ever do that again to anyone.
Today the animosity and anger is surely most aggravated and the chance that one would be knocked out or worse is more likely.
Remember, these farms were not stolen and then given to the poor, they were stolen and given to those most likely assumed to support future plunder by the slithers, pols and crats.
The recipients were just as much victims as the farmers who had their farms taken.
Works the same way with EBT, farm subsidies, damns, road, etc.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
#1: Government is nothing more than a criminal syndicate of violence, theft, destruction, and death. All statements otherwise are lies.
I respectfully argue that the recipients were not victims, but benificiaries and criminals as in "receiving stolen property" --punishable in any civil society.
I just sent them a fax saying I'll go back if the hottest girl in town sucks all of my toes clean and they apologize in front of the whole village when I get there.
I was never there, but they don't know that. Plus, I feel a bad case of jungle fever coming on that needs sassifying.
If Obama had a brother...
