One by one the last white farmers are being beaten into submission. Four more had their farms seized by marauding gangs last week.
“They do not want us whites,” one farmer said.
Finaughty, 43, will never forget how his world came crashing down. One moment at his Manda farm there was stillness. Then came a burst of noise and confusion. A screaming, drunken mob hammered at the gates.

It was the climax of a two-year eviction campaign against him. He had fought step by step in the courts. Their judgments in his favour were all ignored. With no respect for the rule of law in Zimbabwe, he finally lost the battle.
Armed with spears and sticks, a mob threatened him and his wife, Loraine, by driving a tractor against the gate of their home. “We’re going to kill you,” they said. The family were given 10 minutes to pack their life’s belongings.
It was not the first attack that Finaughty had weathered. In one savage beating his attackers suggested breaking his legs as he lay injured in a field. “Leave him. He’s dead,” he heard one of them say.
Finaughty crawled away and saved himself. He had four broken ribs and concussion.
Another time, acting in self-defence, he had to shoot dead an armed robber who broke into his farmhouse. The police were sympathetic and took no action. But they treated the seizure of his farm differently.
“This is political. It’s a hot potato. We can’t get involved,” said Vengisai, the chief inspector, when Finaughty contacted his office.
So the Finaughty family drove away from the farm they loved. Soon, they believe, much of the

I know it is easy for me to type this from where I live, but it isn't exactly a well kept secret that whiteys who live in Africa in countries with majority black rule there are pretty much cannon fodder. For a whitey there to say he thinks he can "work with" this kind of government... even if he's been there for while... I just can't bring myself to comprehend that.
Sounds eerily like Germany in the 30s.
That's a great question. The "writing" is on the wall here also. When the parasites decide to redistribute our homes and land, I guess some folks here think we should all run instead of staying and fighting.
what made them think anyone would be fair with them?
Or Detroit in the '60's.
In this country those of us who actually own something would be more willing to fight back. It is also easier because there are far more people who would support the right to own private property than there are people who support taking it.
Once that balance shifts, then we are screwed.
Yeah, that’s what I mean. The parasites (welfare queens, gov’t workers, unionists, ad nauseum) are quickly reaching critical mass. If Atlas doesn’t shrug in the next decade, we’re in deep dung.
Whose team are you on? If you don't look out for your race, who will?
Whether the guy is being naive or not has nothing to do with feeling sorry for him.
This man and his family are being exterminated. Anyone who ran and anyone who stayed should have freedom loving people’s sympathy.
Thats like saying why haven’t you left US yet? You deserve what you got with Obama. Zimbawae is home to alot of white ppl. They’re not just visitors who just came along to start a business and have options to leave when things got bad. Those who are still there, probably don’t know what to do outside of their home country
Y'all finally figured out you're about as popular as a pork chop in Mecca? Did you come up with that on your own, or did you need help ciphering it?
You mean the human race right, because skin color dont matter
If you read the article, you'll see that he tried to "work with" the regime that wants him and his family dead. He also takes a rather interesting view on whiteys who live in Africa (he believes they are "guests").
Tell that to the rest of the world.....and our own government’s hiring practices....and Bill Gates Millennium Scholarship.....and the NAACP.....and BET....and etc...etc...
Whats he gonna say? Anyone who says “We have a right to be here” gets killed.
Sticks and spears? Thus the intelligence behind OUR second amendment. Come at my home with sticks and spears....or guns, and all you'll need is a will and a proper place for burial.
Look at a lot of inner city and older suburbs in the USA and tell me that isn't happening on a smaller scale here. Why didn't the whiteys who previously lived there stay and fight?
I have to wonder what the difference in IQ is between the whites who left thirty years ago and the ones who have stayed to the bitter end.
It will happen in America one day.
