It's SOOO refreshing to have local Americans who are smart enough to see the political situations, like the South African and Zimbabwe examples, for what they are! Africa could have and should have been the wealthiest continent on the planet!



I have similar thoughts on Brazil and Mexico, versus Switzerland or Japan. The first two have super-abundant natural resources and massive populations of young workers, but have somehow managed to find a way to be poor. The Swiss and the Japanese have practically zero resources and small/moderate populations, but are exceptionally rich.


If we blame "colonialism" for Africa's problems, let's note that the world's lone superpower is a former colony, as are many prosperous places like Australia. Even India is booming! Let's not even begin to discuss colonial Hong Kong versus non-colonial mainland China.


The problems that exist are the result of politics. These countries either directly reject capitalism and free-market processes, or allow so much graft and corruption that all capitalism grinds to a halt. Plus, western charity interference has created a continent of beggars, rather than entrepeneurs who seek to solve any one of the superabundant problems that people would pay to have disappear from their lives.

Instead it is destined to die a slow death of starvation and disease for one single reason -- the demonic and fascist black dictators that were voted in by their OWN people.




Demagogues are everywhere. If Jesse Jackson could arm his Rainbow Coalition with AK-47's, you'd have the American equivalent of Mugabe and his ZANU-PF.

Incidentally, Phlogiston, I did exactly what you suggested in your last paragraph. But no-one should ever be forced into doing that and my parents are too old to even try it. It's very sad.




Being a refugee must be awful. Intensified, of course, with watching the wicked glee of millions of sick White liberals happy to see the children of colonial settlers subject to wholesale rape and murder, courtesy of demagogue tyrants and their militarized gangs.


However, the United States is known for it's "family reunification" immigration policies, courtesy of the 1965 immigration act. Upon citizenship, you may be able to get your relatives fast-tracked out of harm's way. It will be emotionally difficult, but the alternative may be death at the hands of rampaging thugs.
