Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has accused the United States of deliberately neglecting homeless black victims of Hurricane Katrina while condemning him for demolishing urban slums.
Mr Mugabe also told the UN General Assembly that former colonial ruler Britain, which inspired European diplomatic sanctions against Zimbabwe, was equally as hypocritical by participating in an "illegal" and "devastating" invasion of Iraq.
"These imperialist countries have unashamedly abused the power of the media by hypocritically portraying themselves as philanthropists and international saviours of victims of various calamities," Mr Mugabe said.
"They have remained silent about the shocking circumstances of obvious state neglect surrounding the tragic Gulf Coast, where a whole community of mainly non-whites was deliberately abandoned to the ravages of Hurricane Katrina as sacrificial lambs," he told the assembly.

I doubt that many of the homeless blacks would rather move to Zimbabwe.
Oh wow, this really stings ...
Why does the press even give this schmuck the time of day?
Oh yeah...'cause he hates America, too!
Bobby Moo-Gobby is going to school us in running a country, eh?
Whatever.
Sounds like he is testing the waters for a run for President of the USA as a democrat?
I tell ya' folks, you can't buy this kind of entertainment.
If that were true, which it isn't, that would be the pot calling the kettle black.
These racists, poverty pimping communists, sure stick together, don't they?
Send him back so his people can put him in a pot.
Just adding more fuel to encite to riot.
Some significant percentage of the Democratic base would probably vote for the guy. Good thing he can't run.
Calling Art Bell..
Hey, Cindy, Kennedy, Clintons, Moore et al - you have a new ally! He talks like you. Congratulations!
Cries of racism where there is none presented causes racism.
Does the fool know exactly who is being accused of racism by ignorant rants? That would be Mayor Noggin, Guv. Blank-O and Sen. Landreau.
HAHAHAHAHA Ping
Hey, it's a living.
Nah ... must be my imagination.
Hey Mugabe, have a big steaming cup of ST[bleep]U.
Zimbabwe really made a smart move when they removed white rule.
