Yep. I support freedom for Latvians to require citizenship tests but not freedom for Zimbabweans to rape and murder and steal. I'm such a hypocrite.

The Zimbabweans are just working to preserve their culture from foreign imperialists who moved to their country while Zimbabwe was under the yoke of Great Britain. Why shouldn't they have the right to determine who gets to stay in their country?

Just like a lefty to morally equate the British empire with the Soviet Union.

The colonists from Britain were not specifically bussed in to obliterate African cultures, firstly. Second, those who are in Zim now have accepted Zim's laws. Third, there is no white political party in Zim - they have joined the largely African Movement for Democratic Change. Fourth, you are being disingenuous in suggesting any culture is being preserved by Mugabe's theft - it's just to reward his cronies with economic benefits. Just like your friend jb6, if you're going to make a stupid analogy, try a better one.
