Africa is rapidly backsliding into the horrific pit it always has been save for a brief shining moment when the euros colonized it. Law, order, and human dignity are being replaced by savagery, cruelty, misery, disease, war and famine... same as it ever was.

Shouldn't Sharpton and Jackson be on their way there about now?

Could you explain further how Africa has "always" been a "horrific pit" and how European colinization was a "brief shining moment" presumably full of "Law, order and human dignity"?

You have to learn how to kill if you want to be one of the eaters in a Cannibal Kingdom like Mugabe's Zimbabwe.

Remember Cambodia - all things are possible to Marxist vanguard elements.

Mugabe and his cronies should be put down like diseased animals before they cause yet more suffering.

LOL, it would seem that way. Call it my cynicism that the left complains about us when all their heros are actually doing what they accuse us of doing with no facts.

You're talking about Haiti?

Wait, is there a connection there?

Haiti has been a thugocracy for 200 years. Klintoon was stupid to let his commie black caucus dopes pressure him into getting involved, much less restoring the corrupt commie Catholic Aristide.

In Europe they call certain politicians watermelons.

Aristide, and most of the Black Caucus members should be called Dracula's cape.

Aristide was a catholic in name only, when in fact he is a big supporter of voodoo, a religion as backward as islam. Haiti had the misforunate of being formed by the French who weren't democratic themselves and much more into landgrabbing like the Spanish. I never understood why the congressionak black caucus almost all who are communists getting involved the affairs of other countries. They're only propping up communist dictators and not shamefaced about it. Easy to do that when you live in America and not in the actual country.

In fact, my question to Randall Robinson was just that. If Aristide is such a GREAT man and leader, why did he insult him by choosing St. Kitt instead of Haiti as his ex-pat home.

The truth is the leftist intellectual knows that capitalism and democracy are the greatest threat to communistic/socialistic rule by the elite for the benefit of the proletariat. Aristide is one more example that the elite only want to rule and make noises about the "common good."

There are folk tales of a glorious past, but unfortunately the only Africa seen by outside observers has been pretty ugly

Zimbabwe may not have been paradise for the black population, but at least they did not starve, and did not have roving mobs with machetes killing, raping, and eating them (in whatever order suited the mob's fancy)

Buying congress-critters is not that expensive for a thug who owns his own country. Perhaps some are cheaper to buy than others
