Mugabe accuses US of racism during Katrina

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.

I suppose we should do things Mugabe's way and kick a bunch of white farmers off their land, huh?

Why does the press even give this schmuck the time of day?

Oh yeah...'cause he hates America, too!

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?

Some significant percentage of the Democratic base would probably vote for the guy. Good thing he can't run.

Mugabee, Sharpton, jackson - the voices of reality in a sea of discrimination.... NOT. This serves only to fan the flames of misperception, and places an antagonistic edge on the situation - an "us or them" type of edge that serves nobody but the handful of race-baiters and their small band of cohorts.

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.

If I didn't know better I would be thinking that these African morons, the Democrat Party, the Marxist Socialists of the world and the Commies want to start a race war in these United States.

Nah ... must be my imagination.

Zimbabwe really made a smart move when they removed white rule.
