Zimbabwe was once a breadbasket of Africa. The farmers, mostly white, were very productive on that land.
Then Mugabe comes along, sets in motion actions to evict white farmers from the land, give it to black farmers, and the result is that Zimbabwe can no longer feed its own people from its productive farmland.
Zimbabwe is a basket case and dependent on the charity of western nations to feed itself now.
But to criticize Mugabe would be racist. So we can’t say anything. Yet the white western countries are still expected to send food aid to save his sorry blank regime.
It also should be a lesson to Freepers who think things eventually would get so bad that reason will kick in. Just as the idiots in Venezuala who stand in line for toilet paper and when questioned by reporters still blame the rich. We are shown time and time again that waiting for it to get better is a fools errand.
Humans adapt to misery. Hatred runs deep. So, if you are wating for improvement, it aint coming unless it's made to happen.
Especially with 30 million new neighbors who are very used to third world conditions.
Rhodesia also had a dark side of history. 5 percent of pop is white on independence, but they thought they can deprive 95 percent of the pop who is black equal political and economic rights. Problem is such society was vulnerable to Soviet sponsored liberation movements with the aim of taking over and use it as a base to attack mineral rich South Africa. Mistreating people have consequences, especially if they are the majority in country and the stupid one is the minority. Lesson learn, because you say you are sorry and surrender does not mean the victim will forgive and forget. If the whites are smart, get out of the country. I hear the leader of Mozambique is welcoming white farmers. They are needed to help the agriculture in Mozambique, and many Rhodesians whites are doing very well. Farmers are sometimes strange, because they develop an affinity to their land, even staying to their own detriment and harm.
