Actually, I'll be surprised if most of them even get out alive.

Mugabe is right, though. Once the whites are gone, the media elite will have no more reason to blame them for anything, and Zimbabwe will become a ghost country where his (black) thugs can murder (black) innocents completely unimpeded and unnoticed.

Similarly, I've read before that a slaughter of white people is a very real possibility in S. Africa when Mandela dies.

Through it all, Kofi Annan will say nothing, especially when Mugabe begins slaughtering blacks. He's already starving and killing them.

Thus goes another great black hope from the 1970s.

Well, the joke in SA is "what's the different between Mubeki and Mugabe?"

A: About 5 years . . . .

Friends and fores,
The day of national cleansing came long ago in this kingdom of Zimbabwe, only that the victims were and remain of no significancy to the eye of the beholder. Mugabe's men slaughtered, butchered, exterminated and are still committing untold atrocities to the masses of the black people, yet I hear no voice crying in the wilderness. Or was it the Dog eat Dog story? I say, No death is better than the other.Stop blaming the devel for killing your child but for the death in the whole household. Let the dead be equal. The national cleansing by Mugabe is a crime not against whites but humans, started upon the massacre of the Ndebeles. Dont' you remember? Is it because by then it was not your child and hence not worth bemoarning. May be you raised the monster in your own back hard, as a pet against others,today it has turned agaist you. May be it is Dog eat Master story.

It's all well and good to condemn Mugabe, but where's your concern for the far greater tragedy unfolding in Darfur? Or is that ethnic cleansing only bothers all of you when white people are the ones getting the sharp end of the stick?

Mugabe's a nasty bugger, but let's face it, most white Zimbabweans have some British ancestry and are perfectly able to leave the country if push comes to shove. I'm sure that should such a thing come to pass, the Daily Mail, the Daily Telegraph and all the other right-wing British papers who seem to concern themselves only with the sufferings of Zimbabwe's white population, and who can always be relied upon to print vile rants about "bogus" (dark-skinned) asylum seekers, will welcome the poor dears with open arms.

This black guy would feel a little more empathy for Zimbabwe's white minority if so many of their champions didn't reveal themselves to suffer from a sense of selective outrage. How hard is it for you lot to acknowledge that there are far more of Mugabe's fellow black countrymen suffering from his misrule than there are white Zimbabweans in total? Does the suffering of the Ndebele and other non-Shona groups count for nothing? And while we're at it, perpetrating groundless rumors about a proposed South African "massacre" of whites on South Africa's death is an excellent way of showing one is a paranoid racist fool.

Well, between Mugabe and his fellow African leaders and AID's, Africa will shortly cleanse itself of all humans and it can revert to a giant game preserve and national park for the rest of the world.

Can anything be done about the condition of the Negroid race, or are they doomed to self-extermination? Some people think Africa is the biggest gong show on the face of the earth but laughing at them will not make the problem go away. More U.N. troops are needed, if only to provide more variety in their diet.

This was said a while ago, but it is worth remembering:

[ New Republic ] And Didymus Mutasa, ZANU-PF's administrative secretary and senior bureaucrat, recently admitted that whittling down Zimbabwe's population from its current twelve million is his government's explicit plan. "We would be better off," he said, "with only six million people ... who support the liberation struggle. ... We don't want all these extra people."

Yeah, the whites will get off relatively easy. They will lose their farms and maybe their cars, but will be able to get to South Africa with their clothes and a little money.
Once they are gone the real massacres will start--but the media will be long gone.

Hmmm.

As an American I can only look at the crap-storm that interventions like Iraq has brought America. Frankly I'm stick and tired of this situation. When places in the world go all to hell, people demand that America go and fix them. Then when America actually does go and try to fix them, at enormous financial and human cost, all we get is a load of shit from those very same people.

Personally I'd suggest that America never again intervene for any humanitarian purpose.

After all the crap from Iraq, it's your problem. Don't call us.

This has been building for years. Let's face it, most of the whites will probably get out alive, and most have the skills to start new lives elsewhere - but what about the blacks who depend on them? Every white family farm has (or at least had) 20-100 black families associated with it. These people are incredibly vulnerable right now. When the whites leave, these folks will take it in the neck, as revenge for their past associations. Mugabe is also going to exterminate the Ndebele - finsh the job he started back in the 1980s - of course, soon after that his own Shona tribe will be starving.

So at the end of the day the whites will still come off best - and a couple of million black Africans will die - pretty much par for the course in the dark continent I guess.

I can remember a conversation I had with Anthony Gubbay, the last white judge in the Zimbabwean legal system about Mugabe's dismal record on human rights.

I remember the news reports I read so many years ago on the massacre of the Ndebele people.

I see the stories like this today.

And, I wonder...why have we not intervened covertly to overthrow this tyrant. Mugabe's rotten system could not survive a well-placed kick from the West..he doesnt have the resources to fight off a well-funded, well-financed insurrection and hold on to power.

Any refugee of the Mugabe campaign is welcome to stay at my house in the States (if he can make it) until he can get set up in a country that respects civil liberties and property rights.

"Well, between Mugabe and his fellow African leaders and AID's, Africa will shortly cleanse itself of all humans and it can revert to a giant game preserve and national park for the rest of the world."

"Can anything be done about the condition of the Negroid race, or are they doomed to self-extermination?"

It's morons like you two who make it so difficult for other Africans to condemn Mugabe outright. Any residual sympathy I might have felt for Mugabe's white victims is rapidly seeping away as I contemplate what you two idiots wrote.

I agree that the international media will continue to ignore the genocide of non zanu Zimbabweans if the whites are evicted. The focus on white Zimbabweans' suffering at the expense of the millions more black Zimbabweans is deplorable.
I seriously doubt that South Africa will follow the same path, but shame, what a poor leader they have. How can he honestly think this is not harming their economy by saying we don't trade much with them??? Does he have any grasp of economics?
The international perception of the region is being badly damaged by this strange man's policy of implicit support for his northern friend.

All these comments, and the international media's view that this is "just another African country" going off the rails are strange. They almost condone what this meglomaniac is doing.
My white Zimbabwean family is among those that would be harrassed into leaving, and are too old to work. White Zimbabweans are not being welcomed into the UK with open arms!!! Numerous (multiple ethnic backgrounds) Zimbabwean friends have had their visas turned down.
Please stop concentrating on the race of these victims. A victim is a victim - end of story!

With great power comes great responsibility. I think it is the correct thing to stop genocide wherever it occurs. Irregardless of the criticism. However, those that criticise should be criticised back as inhumane, and cowards. I don't want America to be a world police force, but I would rather it be one that values all human life whether it is African, Asian, European, Mid-Eastern, American, etc with the same amount of dignity and respect that we all deserve and desire. Since there is true evil in this world, I think America should act as the International Police force. The U.N. has proven that they don't have the desire, so we're the only ones that can. Us and few allies such as those wonderful Brits!

Why do you say that white people can just pick up all their money, will stay alive and leave the country relatively easily? its not true. My father owned land in Zimbabwe and was killed by Mugabe's thugs when they were "redistributing" the land. he did not get out alive. my mother and i left with nothing but a bag of clothes between us and 2 photo albums, and made a start in Australia cleaning other peoples houses. I am glad i am out, but do not think for a second that any person leaving the only country they have ever known is easy.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Sounds like Mugabe is not too bright. Get rid of the only people with an education and work ethic. Zimbabwe used to export food and now they are dependent on charitable donations. Whites should get out while they are alive and let the rest starve. They deserve it!
