Mugabe And The White African
While the left bellow in full throated chorus about the rights of terrorists who would gladly kill them, their families, and everyone they know, another truly vile, evil man has been allowed to go unchecked.
Robert Mugabe has been enforcing a “land redistribution” policy in Zibabwe, meaning that he has seized or is seizing white owned farms, the primary source of agriculture in the country, and giving them back to the people. Nice idea, right? Get those mean ol’ white people out of there and give their land back to the poor folks so they can farm it and everyone will live happily ever after. The whites were usurpers, invaders, and colonialists who took the land away from its rightful owners in the first place, so why not right a great wrong? Give the land back.
Nice. Touching. Only….there are a couple of problems with that whole concept.
One is that Mugabe hasn’t been giving the land back to the poor people. He’s been giving it to his cronies and political supporters. The farms are going fallow, overgrown with weeds, millions in farming equipment rotting in the sun. It seems you have to know something about farming to, you know, actually farm.
Another, as this terrific article about the new film, Mugabe And The White African, points out is that many of those white farmers who are being forced out actually bought those farms after Zimbawean independence:
…..they bought the farm on the open market after Zimbabwe’s independence and with the approval of Mugabe’s government at the time.
Please click over on the link above and read the article about one family that is fighting back in court for their home. The article also mentions the little fact that these farms employ hundreds of workers and when they’re taken away these people are left to starve. Of course, that doesn’t matter, as long as the evil white man is driven out, right?
Maybe the new film will bring some much needed international attention to the vile Mugabe. Check out the video trailer below:
This is blatant racism at its worst. It’s funny though, that the man behind this horror is welcomed into the international community and even spoke in Copenhagen about global warming. If the shoe were on the other foot and whites were treating any other race this way there would be bugle calls for everything from major sanctions to military intervention, and they would be loudly condemned by every politician hoping to score poltically correct points.
I wonder how the left can justify ignoring this monster? Can anyone from the left answer that? Anyone?
Bueller? Bueller?
