I have been to Zimbabwe and thought it was a beautiful country, with an educated middle and entrepreneurial class of both blacks and whites. Wonderful people. The skilled black population is probably in an even worse situation than the skilled whites, many of whom have British passports and who in any event have at least a chance of assimilating in another Anglophone country.

Unfortunately, it is the uneducated blacks who outnumber the rest. They put Mugabe in power, and my guess is they would actually rather dispossess the white farmers and starve than live decent lives with whites running the agribusinesses. Similar to what Chavez is doing in Venezuela with the full support of the least productive people. Envy is a powerful motivation.

Sounds a lot like most of our cities here, and how the Democrats keep getting back in. That is why I believe if you are on welfare, you should not be allowed to vote.

Amen! Albeit, they are like a person who swallows poison hoping it will hurt his enemy.
