NY Post ^ | September 06 2019 | Associated Press

Robert Mugabe, the longtime leader of Zimbabwe who was forced to resign in 2017 after a military takeover, has died.

His successor Emmerson Mnangagwa confirmed Mugabe’s death in a tweet Friday, mourning him as an “icon of liberation.”

Mugabe was a former guerrilla chief who took power after the end of white minority rule in 1980 and presided over a country whose early promise was eroded by economic turmoil and human rights violations.

“Mugabe was a former guerrilla chief who took power after the end of white minority rule in 1980 and presided over a country whose early promise was eroded by economic turmoil and human rights violations.”

Gotta love the wording of that sentence. Makes it sound like Mugabe just had bad luck once he took over. Classic media rewrite of history.

Liberalism ruined that country. Liberalism espoused the lie that blacks should be in leadership even when there are no blacks competent to lead. Mugabe just happened to be the pimp to avail himself of that lie.

Sort of like in America when some America hating, white man hating, Christian hating black turkey named O'Bummer became president. Liberalism is to blame for both. Liberalism is the bane of civilization, the enemy of Jesus Christ, and Satan's most valuable tool.

Rhodesia was once a prosperous food exporting country, now it is a totalitarian craphole with people starving..

Sort of reminds me of California. This is what happens when liberals take charge.

Do you want to see how biased the media is?

Let’s redo this headline:

A.H., ex-leader of Germany, dead...

Try that replacement you see a mass media article about anyone—then you will see the problem.

He had his supporters in this country. Blacks who didn’t believe the press. But then we don’t here.

Not really. The only thing Baltimore can feed are its rodents.

Yes. Bermuda is an excellent example.

Another good example of a prosperous and well-run, BLACK-run country is Botswana. Although they are not yet “first world”, for quite a few years, they have been one of the fastest-developing economies in Africa, and have some of the best infrastructure outside of South Africa. Very low on the corruption index, and also score very highly on human rights. Same challenges as many other African nations, but the difference is that Botswana is actually overcoming them.
