Remember when Zimbabwe used to be Rhodesia?
There’s a lesson, or two, in here somewhere: ‘No One Is Safe’: Zimbabwe Threatens to Seize Farms of Party Defectors. That’s right: first they came for the white men’s farms:
And the blacks didn’t object because, well, they weren’t white. Now they’re coming for the farms of black-men-who-disagree-with-the-government-policies. That’s how it always goes.
And as pointed out by the Instapundit:
Hey, it was over a decade ago when Nick Kristof reported that Zimbabweans were nostalgic for the days of white rule:
An elderly peasant in another village, Makupila Muzamba, said that hunger today is worse than +ever before in his seven decades or so, and said: “I want the white man’s government to come back. Even if whites were oppressing us, we could get jobs and things were cheap compared to today.”
His wife, Mugombo Mudenda, remembered that as a younger woman she used to eat meat, drink tea, use sugar and buy soap. But now she cannot even afford corn gruel. “I miss the days of white rule,” she said.
And things have only gotten worse since. But they’re right to be nostalgic: International opinion would never stand for a white government that treated blacks so badly. For Mugabe, though, it just yawns.
Gee, it’s not been even 8 full years here in America butt I think Americans are getting a little nostalgic for the days of white rule too.
Yes, Mr. Jefferson, I do. Does that make me a racist?

The history of Africa, since inception, is an endless litany of failure and incompetence.
Just as the Ottoman Muslims of Turkey refused, to this day, to accept responsibility for the genocide of the Armenian Christians in 1915; Blacks cannot accept that Africans, not the Europeans, were the creators of slavery. Why???
Because the loss of face on their infantile psyches would be to great to bear and the impact on their inferiority complex, devastating. So both live an existence in denial of reality; blaming mankind for their condition and woes.
africa wins again...
