Zimbabwe: White Farmers given 90 Days to Give up Their Farms and the World is Silent

Actually, it was never the "breadbasket".. White farmers owned 97% of all arable land and the crops they grew with black labor that lived in the company store were all for the export market.

Repeated, cyclical drought since the 1980s put a lot of white farmers out of business .. never mind the IMF debts.. Many left voluntarily.. Its obviously a failed state with poor leadership. What infrastructure they had like farm to market roads have deteriorated.

 

Your exclamation is not a rebuttal. If you are exasperated, perhaps you should put down your keyboard.

 

There's nothing sick about it, it's fact.

It does, quite nicely considering what holes do to boats.

 

If you want to understand what happened in Zimbabwe read Hitchcock, Robert K. (Ph.D. University of New Mexico, 1982). Professor & Chair. Development/applied anthropology, human ecology, human rights, Africa..

He spent about 30 years in Zimbabwe.. he grew up in KSA. He's a very bright guy.

 

Americans weren't the only ones buying slaves. Slavery itself is nothing unique to America. Practically every society since the dawn of man has taken slaves.

Slavery was abolished in this country a long time ago. We've gone through the civil rights movement and I dare say in this day and age is very difficult to be outwardly racist and not get into trouble.

Does racism still exist? Absolutely, but just as America was not the only country with slaves, racism isn't perpetuated by only whites against blacks. Blacks are racist to whites. Hispanics are racist to whites and blacks. Blacks are racist to Hispanics. Everyone, no matter how "open minded" they claim to be is racist and prejudiced to some degree. It's part of the human condition.

The issue today in this country is the continued perpetuation of perceived racism, particularly in the Black community. It is blatantly obvious as evidenced in what happened in Ferguson.

The problem is mostly one of mindset than it is actual acts of racism. We'll never be completely free of racism, and those who practice it should be held accountable, but it is difficult, if not impossible when every interaction between white and black is automatically labelled a racial incident.

The mindset in the Black community persists because of people like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and indeed, the democrats as a whole who continue push the idea that they are oppressed due to whitey.

Oddly, when one shakes off the blinders for a moment and looks at reality we find a good amount of very successful Blacks...and indeed our very own President.

It is hard to argue so much racism when the community has representational success all the way to and including the President of the United States.

In addition, it is compounded when we have so many people producing children who are not mentally, financially or mature enough to be making babies which is further compounded when the family is completely dysfunctional.

This isn't completely a Black issue though.

IMHO, the first thing that needs "fixed" before we can see any real change is personal accountability for our actions and decisions. We have to move away from expecting someone else or some other entity (government) to take care of it for us.

 

Actually, it tends to be the opposite. Liberals/dems tend to be the whiners any time a President sends troops to foreign soil. We often get cries from them about it not being our job to be the world's policemen.

Oddly though, those same libs/dems have no problem with us being the world's daycare center.

 

But americas is where the vast majority of so- called africans were taken captive and enslaved for 400 years. That is a pretty unique aspect of our history that is hidden away.

 

You wouldnt be able to read these posts and respond without the very Afrikans who gave you your language. It is the greatest story never told and ifor one am not about to tell you.

I never tire of speaking the truth. Caps are sometimes necessary with Democrats. They don't understand things like logic and facts.

 

English was not invented in Africa ..try again AND Africa takes a c not a K

 

I have other choice words for what you choose to spread.

 

Afrika is the original and correct way to spell it and it was changed to a c upon colonial rule because it looked and sounded more English. They did the same thing with KW substituting it with Q. There are numerous countries and place names this was done to, including K(c)onga and Akk(cc)ra. No European language outside of Dutch or German has the hard 'C' sound hence why Dutch settlers in Afrika still call themselves Afrikaaners.

 

I will bet the farm if Pres. Obama has a news conference today telling us that he was sending US troops into the Sudan to end slavery that conservatives/repubs would be up in arms against it.

 

Original way in what language?

We are speaking English.

 

both apply equally in English.

 

Certainly they do not.

 

Certainly they do.

Better to post nothing rather than to post and reveal your lack of knowledge most especially regarding Slavery in America.

Well over 90 percent of African slaves were imported into the Caribbean and South America. Only about 6 percent of imports went directly to British North America.

How many slaves landed in N. America?

Most who get their panties in a wad regarding slavery do not know enough about it to actually qualify to present any opinion whatsoever regarding it...they are caught up in the myths aka most people who cry the loudest about slavery seem to think it only existed in the Southern United States.

How about we deal with the content rather than your reading and comprehension non- skills?

 

What does any of that have to do with the fact of slavery in the United States.

 

I never argue with fools....they just want to drag me down to their level and then beat me with 'experience'. heh heh --- wid apoligies to M. Twain.

 

Thank you so much. You said that so much better than I could have said it.

 

Excellent question!
