    Are you SO dishonest that you are attempting to deny the beakers even existed to justify your hypocrisy? Wow

    The US implemented a major land reform in post-war Japan under General Douglas MacArthur's SCAP. Japanese landlords who owned more than the permitted amount had to sell the excess land to the government at a fixed price and the government sold it at the same price to former contract farmers, giving first preference to any tenant who had been farming the land. Zimbabwe's land reform is somewhat similar to the Japanese precedent and contract farming arrangements where the indigenous farm owners would get only 10% of total produce will be prohibited. Imperial Japan's agricultural sector was as exploitive as Zimbabwe's until 1946, which is thought to be the main cause of the rise of fascism centred on the disgruntled sons of impoverished farmers who joined the Imperial Japanese Army.

    Maybe you own too much land.......or your house is too big for your needs........we'll sent a government agent to see you and assess how much of your land/house needs to be redistributed.....and if you put up a fuss some folks may show up to beat you and rape your wife and daughters to get the message across

    It is what post colonialism looks like. If it was my property, I would rig timers and burn every building to the ground after i got out...let them eat dirt.

    And what does my ancestors (who didn't even live here at the time) have to do with how you see white people today?

    Do you see how stupid that sounds now?

    Fact is, you can try to blame slavery on whites (you did) but again, blacks enslaved other blacks for a millennium before they ever saw a white man. Somehow its cool if blacks enslave other blacks, but if whites do it, its a different story. Kinda like blacks can slaughter each other in the streets and nobody cares but one stupid black kid gets killed by a white cop and suddenly #blacklivesmatter??

    What a joke.

    - - - Updated - - -

    They're gonna be eating dirt soon enough.

    Was it not Zimbabwe who kicked all the white farmers out, then begged them to come back because the blacks didn't know what they were doing lol

    No, you're 100% wrong.

    Africans enslaved other Africans for, literally, 1000 years before they ever saw a white man. Read a book. African empires were built on slave labor. Tribes warred with one another and the loser became slaves and were sold to other tribes, the same thing whites are so horrible for doing.

    No really, read up on it. Because you are 100% wrong.

    I don't believe I said slavery was the fault of white people today. I believe I said slavery is more of a part of American History than Apple Pie is.

    Wow. So that out that makes the treatment of black folks over the last 400 yrs ok.

    You got that right.

    What you said was 'you brought my ancestors here in chains' which isnt true anyway because I wasn't even around 500 years ago. You just left out the part about your ancestors selling your ancestors to Europeans so they could be brought here in chains.

    So you don't care about the drug dealers, you care about the drug users, am I right?

    Please forgive me, I thought I was speaking to Northwinds when I made that quote. I didn't realize you and he were one and the same.

    Are there more drug dealers in jail or drug users?

    I doubt he was around either. That still doesn't change the fact you left out most of the story.

    What difference does it make? Are they both guilty of a crime?

    Ah so I didn't actually accuse you of anything and I am not speaking of you or him directly I am speaking of what was done by America. So you think if you are caught with stolen goods you will get let off the hook because you didn't actually steal them, but you are in possession of them.

    Of course they are, who ever said that they wasn't.

    No, I would just like you to blame the crime equally on those who stole the goods AND those who possess them.

    Not asking too much right?

    Well when I move back to Africa I will bring it up to them also, but I have spent all my life in America and it is not just slavery that black folks in America have had to endure.

    Is it actually the idea of slavery that you find abhorrent, or is it more because most of the owners were white?

    If the nation were ruled by an intelligent African with dark skin tone who understands why the West is doing so good and doesn't have a "it's all because of the whiteman!" attitude, things would clearly be better.

    The world isn't going to do anything. Zimbabwe is the look of the "progressive" future. obama would love to be able to wield that kind of dictatorial power.

    Hell, no. U.S. taxpayers need to step up and feed the people of Zimbabwe.

    Unfortunately, that is more true than it should be.

    At least in the US we can feel comfort in the fact that our leaders are willing to act.
