Let this be a lesson to all you uppity African states: mess with the white man's stuff and you will die: either of hunger or in a civil war. Not even your liberation president and all the NGO's in the world will be able to save your miserable asses.

In 8 short years Zimbabwe has been brought to its knees and has been reduced to the status of a beggar in the region. Its people have fled, it's infrastructure has been destroyed, its currency is worthless and people are dying in the streets from cholera and hunger. All of this without lifting a finger in violence.

Zimbabwe has been made an example of and I hope for your own sake that you've been listening, Africa. Be subservient, listen when the white man speaks and leave his stuff alone, and you might be allowed to live out your life. Otherwise, well... take a look at Zim: that's what we can do WITHOUT violence.

I'm sure other African countries will think long and hard before they touch a white man's possessions again.

Johnj, man, what a pompous piece of shit you are. Africa is a continent that belongs to Africans and nothing is "white man's stuff." " White man" came uninvited to Africa and whatever they brought or built was for their own comfort and to prop themselves as 'Masters' with no concern about the African person's human dignity. If Africans want to destroy themselves and their continent, it is no business of yours. It is theirs, so butt out you racist.
