Some of the replies here seem like they would be better suited on a website like stormfront. Racist paranoia is really sad.

So you think the stories about Zimbabwe are false?

Racist paranoia is really sad.

Rhodesia was the breadbasket of Africa. Now Zimbabwe has to import food.

How is that racist?

Which posts are you referring to? Where is the "paranoia" that saddens you so? Are we really to just stick our heads in the sand and pretend that up is down? It isn't racist to identify that certain cultures seem to have real problems. What is racist is to simply dismiss objective observations as "racist paranoia" -- this type of avoidance does far more harm to the people you purport to sympathize with, than any postings ever could.

Maybe if people stopped tiptoeing around the elephant in the room, there might be some real progress toward turning these problems around. But not now, because anybody who attempts to look at the situation rationally is simply going to be shouted down by people who think pointing fingers and yelling "Stormfront" in an accusatory way is a positive and noble act. When these types of people scream "rascist!", they should do so only when looking in a mirror.

You got a problem with reality?

The hate speech against whites and conservatives from the Obama Administration hasn’t been very nice either.

Paranoia? Zimbabwe is a hell hole. There was a vibrant economy, bumper crops and jobs in Rhodesia. Mugabe is the paranoid racist fool. Can’t you see that?
