well well well... mr. polliticly correct is just bustin at the seams here...
are you SURE that these farmers.. the ones who are being beaten down right NOW.. are the ones who commited these horrible acts 100 years ago?? If that is the case.. would it be ok for me to seek physical reveng on the child of the man who wronged my father???
not a very liberal standpoint is it??
I'm not saying that what they are doing is right, it's very wrong what they're doing. I'm just saying, what the heck do you expect? These black people have been getting their asses kicked for 100 years and now they're fed up. This is human nature.
look at the statistics taken from this site
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/594522.stm
"about 4, 400 whites owned 32% of Zimbabwe's agricultural land while about one million black peasant families farmed 38%."
"much of the white-owned land is in more fertile areas with better rainfall, while the black farming areas are often in drought-prone regions. So in terms of prime farming land, whites own a disproportionate share. "
now you've done your homework on this topic, several times throughout colonial rule the blacks were moved to different locations of Zimbabwe because they were living on fertile farm land. To top it off, the blacks fought and won their independence from white rule, the whites didn't just gladly give it up.
So my question to you is, what do you expect? You expect all these poor uneducated black people to sit around and be happy with nothing when they are in charge of the government and let these rich white people are sitting high on the hog on their ancestral land? I'm not surprised at all. I'm not happy about it, but this shit doesn't surprise me in the least.
