Utter bovine excrement.
Not one thin DIME of my money will go to that hell-hole. Black Africa has done this to themselves, as usual. That's the Elephant in the Living Room that most choose to ignore. Tribalism, greed, megalomania, still more greed, bloodlust, envy..........all have contributed and will continue to contribute to Africans killing Africans.
I want to hear Jackson, Mfume, and Sharpton on this. Where the hell are these droolers now???? Let's hear it; let's hear about "Mother Africa" and how put upon blacks in America are these day, shall we?
Self-governance is impossible for these people in Africa. I don't care how that sounds, for it's the proven truth. They just starve or murder each other (and tee off on whites while trying to blame them for their shortcomings) by the millions, and we're supposed to send millions of dollars yet again........only to see it all wind up in the coffers of another tinpot, murderous, primitive dictator??? Over my dead body...........
Last time we tried this was Somalia. Look at the thanks we got.
Somebody feels sorry for the Africans (which after all, have taken one post-colonial country after another from prosperity to famine and social chaos), let them send a check to Bono. Maybe he can get a bunch of rap artists to put together a "Save Africa" telethon or something.
Wouldn't do much good of course, but think how good it would make some people feel! (Unless of course, they found out the charity check went directly to somebody like say, Robert Mugabe, in which case, boy, would they have egg on their faces, huh?)
Let me put this in simple terms that any hunter understands. Under current conditions, the African population exceeds the carrying capacity of the land. Mother Nature has a rather brutal way of dealing with these situations, called culling the herd through starvation and disease.
It's a pity, because Africa has the potential to feed it's people when managed properly. But the people who were doing that have had their farms confiscated and have fled Africa as it has slipped from the late 20th century back into the stone ages.
Oh well... It's kinda like up in Yellowstone Park... since they stopped hunting elk, they've overpopulated. Every winter they come down from the mountains to the yards where all the well-intentioned people put out feed to get them through the winter... thus assuring the elk population continues to exceed the ability of the land to support them. Kind like what happens when we rush in to save these starving Africans (although at least the elk don't say "thanks" by hating us in return). 'Nuff said.
Communism is not self-government, it's imprisonment.
Hoping some day that they can be as successful as Mugabe and bring that situation here--with them at the top.
