Comments:
The problems that Zimbabwe is experiencing is not Mugabe; he has the support of the majority of black Zimbabweans but the British. The British are mad that Mugabe took land that whites stole from blacks during colonialism and giving it back to the natives. Black people worldwide support Mugabe because he took the land back. The land in Zimbabwe belongs to Africans; it was a gift from God. Whites are morally wrong to condem Mugabe for taking the land back. Whites comprised less than 1% of the population in Zimbabwe but owned more than 75% of the land. I don't want to call you a racist sir, but I question your judgement and support of a British system designed to keep native blacks in Zimbabwe oppressed. Mugabe may have made mistakes but on the land reform program he is 100% right. The British are mad and they are inciting violence and manhem in the country so that they recolonize the country. However, this will not happen because Africans worldwide will not let this happen. I thank you for time. I pray that God will touch your heart and you will come to the realization that whites were not put on earth to rule blacks. Whites in Kenya, Namibia, and South Africa must return stolen land and learn to share the land. If not, they're settting themselves up for a very violent future.

1/ I'm not blaming Mugabe, I'm simply sad to see the problems experienced by the people of Zimbabwe. A beautiful country of good people which I have become very fond of.
2/ I don't think that the fact of the policy of land reform is the whole cause of the current problems, land reform predates them.
3/ I already know that whites are not put on earth to rule black people, but if you can be an American Black man White people can surely be Africans too. I am saddened that whites and blacks in Zimbabwe cannot sort out their country without this chaos, it has so much potential. South Africa has problems too, but they are managing to make progress without destroying their society.
I hope that life in New Orleans is bearable, we were shocked at the devastation.
With respect, d.
Danny, thanks for getting back with your comment. I agree that whites can be Africans and I pray that all Zimbabweans will work for the good of the country. I have never stepped foot on African soil, the home of my ancestors. I want to visit Zimbabwe after college and I hope to meet many good people like yourself.
I'll stay positive because I believe that the majority of people in the world want to live in peace and harmony.
I thank you for asking about New Orleans. It will be a long and slow recovery. Over half of the population has not come back. On my block alone, there are three abandon homes. People don't want to return to New Orleans because the corporate jobs have left and law enforcement in the city has not recovered from the devastation. Crime is a huge problem in the city-----but I'm optimistic things will improve. It will take time and brave natives like me to stay the course and rebuild our city. New Orleans still has a lot of assets: The food, music and mardi gras are just a few of the reasons I'll never leave. Again, thanks for responding and God bless you.
Hi all
I'm African and did a talk at Shell late last year during the Black History Week and the question I poised was 'how long can we continue to blame the white man for the destruction of Africa?' Okay, in the 1960s, when the white man left Nigeria they 'may' have taken some stuff, but they left us with light and water -now they've gone we've somehow managed to go back to the days before they came round and we don't even have electricity and water running in every home anymore - sad!
