WHEN the youths saw Murray Pott's sister filming them as they hit the Zimbabwean farmer with sticks, they smashed the kitchen window to try to get to her too. Mr Pott, who is of Scottish descent, was left with broken ribs and head injuries after a mob attacked him on his farm in Chinhoyi, central Zimbabwe last week.
The incident shows how terrifying life has become for the country's last white farmers seven months into the power-sharing agreement between president Robert Mugabe and former opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai that was widely expected to end land invasions.
"I was attacked in my mother's yard by 13 people," Mr Pott told The Scotsman. "I was hit 28 times with sticks."
Blood streaming down his face, the father of two was rushed to a government hospital. Mr Pott, who grew tobacco, soyabeans, potatoes and desperately-needed maize on his Hilltop Farm, has kidney problems because of his injuries.

No worries, it's just whitey
Just white trash, move along, nothing to see here.
Looks like he now lives in Injun country.
I wonder if he has a twelve gauge pump?
Mugabe is one sick tyrant. Reminds me of the potential we have in the WH.
How about they just leave and let the savages starve?
Robert Mugabe = The Perennial U.N. Poster Child
I can’t honestly imagine why a white person would WANT to stay in Zimbabwe at this point...I’d have skipped off to America years prior to this...
I know it is home to the farmers. that is why they don’t want to leave. But is it worth their lives?
This is something that I’m sure that obamugabe, in the darkest part of his commie heart, would like to see in this country.
[Id have skipped off to America years prior to this...]
What makes you think that WHITE people feom Zimbabwe would be allowed into this country? Especially if they were Christian.
Like Rev James D. Manning says about his own race - generally speaking they are “ destroyers “ . This is one piece of proof .
just sharin the wealth bro
No problem...Danny Glover and his agents will strongarm the producers of the next “Lethal Weapon” into writing this international issue of racial violence into the next script...oh, wait...forget it, nothing to see here...
I don’t think many had a place to go. If they were multi-gen citizens, the Brit route was out, IIRC. SA has it’s own problems and I suspect the refugee option was not readily available in the rest of the Anglo-sphere.
Read a story about a journo traveling over there. They were stopped and asked [because they were white???] if they could help with a dairy farm. The thugs took it over, then didn’t know WTF to do with it. They also ran off the black workers who knew what they were doing. All for the greater good of the repressed proletariat.
If you look at all the millions of years they have occupied that continent show me all the civilizations they have built. Show the inventions. Show the culture.
Aint happened.
Show me where they created organized systematic farming. Show me the wheel....
Didnt happen
Prospects for the future? They have to learn from western man. Simple. Maybe the Chinese. But if you look at the history of the wheel, they were way behind the west as well.
This is America's fate under the racial revenge administration of the Kenyan.
They most likely thought he was there to donate organs.
I wish they’d move here. We can always use good farmers. oh, wait. I forgot. They are white and immigration visas are not available...
Bingo.
We call it Obamacare here.
lol...yep.
Thirteen to one? Sounds like an American schoolbus.
That is why the general population should be armed...
"It's the youths that have always been used. They've been used right through the elections. They are just Mugabe's brownshirts,"

Obama Youth Corp.
Heavily armed.
Charter office of ACORN.
Doesn't matter what color the victim is either. All they have to be is different. Different tribe, different hair, different religion.
Actually, A large part of south Africa around Johannesburg never had a black population until AFTER The white settlers inhabited the place.
There was an uproar from black racists (many weren't even african) in Canada a couple weeks ago over a White south African from Johannesburg being granted refugee status, because he was fearfull of persecution by the blacks if he was sent back to south Africa.
Clearly, blacks think only blacks are allowed to claim refugee status from Africa, not whites. Remember, this is in Canada, where there isn't a memory of slavery to blame reverse racism on.
Makes you wonder how long before Ubama attempts to sieze white-owned farms..
That’s a perfect, and scary example of how racial hatred is used to advance a political movement. Robert Mugabe did it in Zimbabwe, and Ayers and Obama, along with haters like Rev. Wright, exploit sorry losers like the black power group, which is infested with Arab/Ethiopian muslims exploiting racial hatred to further Islam by destroying freedom in America.
It's already started, my friend...in California's Central Valley.
He's a moral beacon, you see.
Our National Conscience.
Or something...
President Barack Obama is promising $73 Million in U.S. aid to the people of Zimbabwe. The president made the pledge Friday, after meeting with Zimbabwe's Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai in the Oval Office.
In 2008, USAID provided nearly $176 million (To Zimbabwe.) in food assistance and more than $7 million for programs related to agriculture and food security, shelter, livelihoods, relief commodities, humanitarian coordination and information management, water, sanitation, and hygiene.
Already in the pipeline...
40,000 farmers and workers unemployed in the (formerly) fertile central valley in CA
Feds shut off the water because of the snail darter minnow fish or somesuch
Who you think is going to use some of that unused TARP money to scoop up all that prime acerage....
That is a huge story that was completely ignored during the whole apartheid dust-up; the Boers had actually settled in an uninhabited region in S. Africa. When drought/famine struck in central Africa, there was a migration (Bantu migration?) south along the eastern side of southern Africa. This wasn’t a story of people jumping the fence as in the case of Mexico; these blacks traveled south through what today consists of several countries, bringing them into contact with the Boers. However, as it reduced the blacks from victims to invaders, the story was ignored...
You weren’t in Milwaukee in 1967-68 when ordinary men stood on the bridges leading to their communities with rifles, shotguns and pistols, daring the rioters to cross over.
Too true; when they change the name of your country to Mumbojumboland, you really do have to go. I understand what they accomplished there, but it is over.
I remember that picture.
