The whites got much of their wealth from black labor, and blacks were NOT fairly compensated for it.
Its actually quite funny, yes I do mean funny as opposed to ironic, that the blacks in SA are going to run short of food because they drove out the white farmers. I'm gonna laugh my a$$ off when starvation sets in.
Then you're an evil person.
Perhaps they would have made more in a more open market for labor, but the fact remains that living conditions for Blacks in SA were better than living conditions in Black-ruled countries. That's why Blacks kept migrating INTO SA instead of OUT. There were no minefields and barbed wire on the border keeping the workers in (unlike in communist countries)
And now living conditions for Blacks in both Zimbabwe and SA are on a sharp down-trend.
Then you're an evil person.
Sorry for the late response, but I was out of town on business. Your accusation of me being an evil person is both ill-placed and illogical. Much like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, where no one found the "land" to be valuable hundreds of years ago, when a certain race or breed of people made the land valuable, everyone wanted it only after the physical upgrades were made.
The blacks in Africa had no use for the land (agriculturally), until it was improved upon and life took on a human dignity of sustainable sustanence. Once established (by whites), that the land could become a way of life, the black envy took over. Now, they've kicked out all the Bill Gates' of agriculture, in the name racial equality. I respectfully suggest that if the blacks fail to PRODUCE the food from the lands previously proven to be productive, they've effectively cut off their nose, despite their face.
Someday, the politically correct world of ours will recognize the historical facts that blacks have FAILED in every attempt to be self-sufficient in non-third world life as we know it. I will not espose a theory on why this has been the a historically factual reality, although I have one, but I'd be interested in your refutation of my premise. Respectfully....JRR
