A Brutal Toll

Raven noone is impressed by your rantings. Would you not agree that the races should be seperated?
Integration in the US has killed the black family and it social network. Don't you want a black country in the US run by and for black folks. let's stop the killing and BS.

The white farmers who bore the brunt of ZANU-PF's force are only paying what their forefathers had done during colonialism and imperialism era in Africa. Try to look back in history and it will tell you that it's not really good to covet other peoples land and the treasures that belonged to it. In the end there's no escaping the fact that you have to pay for it !

Nice job, Newsweek, continuing to fan the flames of racism.

The overwhelming majority of people who have borne the brunt of Mugabe's thugs in Zimbabawe are not white, they are black.

But just like in our country, black on black crime isn't news, but black on white crime is.

A generation from now, Africa's tragedies will make the present extremists in the Middle East look like a tea party. We "had" to intervene because Sadam was a monster, gassing his own people, but we are more than content to stand back and ignore Rwanda, Zimbabawe and the rest of Africa's crimes against humanity, and why?

Because Africa doesn't have anything we want - or rather, the West has already cornered the market on African diamonds and gold.

Now, if we should happen to discover vast amounts of oil reserves under the Serengetti, watch how fast Africa will suddenly appear as one of our national interests.

Come on, Newsweek, why don't you write the real story of Africa's tragedy, instead of picking a story guaranteed to push the "black uprising against whites" button, in an election year with both a black and white presidential candidate?

I apologize, I did not give credit where credit is due: Blacks DO contrtibute, they ensure that there are plenty security firms around, insurance companies get to charge incredible premiums, and luxury car makers get to sell plenty cars to overpaid and underworked bureaucrats. Give credit due : blacks make GREAT thieves, they can steal anything from under anybody's nose. They even manage to steal South Africa from the whites ,albeit with a little (lots of) help from the western world, specifically Britain.

Please... spare me the crocodile tears. This has been going of for a couple of decades and just now Newsweek decides it is important! The people of Zimbabwe voted for Mugabe years ago and they now have the man they wanted. It is no one's business but theirs to fix and I recommend that this farmer, like many of the other whites, leave for greener pastures. There are many African countries offering land to experienced farmers.

No doubt the West will be blamed for standing by, but then we get blamed for stepping in. This is for Africans to settle....... if they want to. Otherwise, have a nice day.

True, and Hitler wanted to avoid war with England. It was the war monger Churchill who brought the war.

I am far from a christian. I am a European first. Christianity is a foreign religion that was brought into Europe.
It is semetic.

Can you feel the love in here? God must be pleased, if there were a god. And there isnt. With Religion simply being a tool of the ruling class. But i digress. We should feel sorry for anyone dying needlessly white or black. Also, you have both good and bad in ALL races. But lets be fair here. The land that these farmers now live on was/is il gotten gain. They have no more inherent right to it than say the white man has to this counrty. One small difference is that here the Native American has no power to do anything and over there the natives are in the majority. Obvioulsy Mugabe is a thug who should be gotten rid of, but that does not chance the fact that this land was acquired thru brutality. One who lives by the sword, if you will. And BTW, Africans can and did rule themselves long before the Europeans Missionarys took it upon themselves to "Spread the Love of God" in Africa. sic.

'The Raven' maniac. Apparently seeing racism in everyone and everything but himself. Why does he believe anyone on the planet has to blame his race to make themselves 'feel better'? We can get along fine without the likes of his rabid, racist, and hypocritical diatribe. He should also look into a quality spell check application. If a Caucasian individual was verbally abusing a Black person's views in the same manner of speaking as 'The Raven', the sky would be falling, lawsuits would be launched, and Mugabe would be flying in for the roast. The issues of entitlement exhibited by this individual is usually reserved for the ladies, is it not? It should not be condoned in this venue. Happily and hopefully, 'The Raven' does not represent the views of the majority of those in his ethnic group. Racial slurs and profiling are not welcome here.

Africans are not able to govern themselves, because they are tribal societies and they will kill eachother. Of course, whites should have never colonized africa, but we still brought them some good like building cities and roads, water wells and medecine. I feel sorry for the whites who were borned there. They are zimbabee citizens and where could they go?? South africa maybe?

i dont understand what the freak you all are talkin about. Between racism, ignorance. and jus plain stupidity i am disgusted. Someone said "name one thing blacks have done of substance in Africa." You are seriously the stupidest person i've seen right now. Firsty let me point out that the so called "Middle East" is apart of Northeastern Africa... pick up an atlas. Next, Blacks can not be called blacks in their native land so scrub it from your vocab they're africans! Now let me get to the point. So called "Blacks' in Africa has catapulted this world to the sucess it is now. Algebra was invented by and perfected by Muslims in the now Iraq. Beutiful Architecture and works of art were depicted in these lands. Egypt. one of the most well known places in the world is home to the pyramids andd secrets still uknown to the day. Also Timbuktue was the learning center of the world with magnificent libraries and structures. So learn your history people. The decline of Africa did not begin with the colonization by Europeans but by the military campaigns of such WHITE EUROPEAN leaders such as Alexander the Great, The Romans, and Napolean. These peoplle were in awe of the standard of living and advancements of the African people. This soon led to anger and jealousy causing them to destroy the library at Timbuktue(along with the only copy of some books), the execution of innocent peolpe( Jesus- who was also a black african), and also the desecrating of such monuments such as the pheonixes in Egypt. While the colonization of Africa was the breaking point there were incidents before that! Overall you must learn your history , learn more than you do at school. Especially in America where we are brainwashed early to belive in stateism and what hear is right. Africa is the motherland. While white people are my brothers and sisters i cannot except you knowing that your feelings of superiority towards me will cloud your thoughts. the only thing that makes you white is the lack of magllelum(or skin pigment that absorbs sunlight). I live by a higher law that America was founded on a is probably the only thing that keeps the world in balance if it was followed: do what u say youll do, and dont encroach on anyone elses property. DUH!!!!!! i am a highscool student at East Forsyth and i love history. Learn it!!!!!!!!!

To set the record straight once and for all.

As far as racial invasions the white race was the first victim. Europe was attacked looted and raped on numerous occasions by:

Turks
Arabs
Huns
Mongols
Moors
Avars



So what happened. Well the europeans turned the tide and grabbed the upper-hand.
