I'm sure that this will prove to be a wise investment. (Sound of toilet flushing)

What gets me is how all those starving Africans continue to reproduce, giving birth to so many children who are destined to die of disease and starvation. Do they enjoy watching their wailing offspring die in pain? It's criminal stupidity. If you don't have the resources to feed or care for even yourself, let alone children, then you shouldn't reproduce!
I pity anyone who suffers like that, even Negroes and animals, but let's face it: they are largely the cause of their own suffering. If it were up to me and funds were sufficient, I'd make sterilization a prerequisite to receiving any food aid.

Zimbabwe has been in the news a lot here in New Zealand because the NZ cricket team is currently touring Zimbabwe, where they have been treated to an official state reception by Robert Mugabe. (For any sports fans out there, we gave them a stern thrashing on the pitch in the one-dayers and are in the process of doing the same in the test series).
The cricket tour generated quite a lot of controversy because of the nature of the Mugabe regime, and bought out of hibernation all the crusty old hippies who protested against the 1981 Rugby tour by the "evil, racist apartheid" South African Springboks. Sensing the national mood, and keen to score points with the public in the lead up to next months elections, the government tried to pressure the cricket team not to go. However, the ICC (International Cricket Council) threatened to fine them if they cancelled the tour, and the government refused to indemnify them so they went ahead despite the public outcry.
You might be thinking that widespread condemnation of Zimbabwe's government might be an indication of some semblance of racial awareness blossoming in mind of the NZ public, but unfortunately you'd be wrong. All the news coverage of the crimes of Robert Mugabe and his thugs has focused on violence against his black political opponents and his retarded "slum clearance" housing demolition program. Violence against white farmers is never mentioned, it's like they don't even exist. All the attention goes to the "poor, starving" black Zimbabweans who are suffering because of Mugabe's "misguided policies" and how Western countries "aren't doing enough" to "help heal the legacy of colonialism". It really makes me sick.
The other day I read an opinion piece in one of the national dailies by some pompous leftwing dickhead who declared that making a stand against Mugabe was important for NZ's moral conscience because "we need to show that we care as much about blacks oppressing other blacks as we do about whites oppressing blacks". I don't know whether these leftwing airheads are just plain ignorant or whether they know about the killing of whites but don't want to appear "racist" by caring more about (or in effect, even mentioning) attacks against their white racial kinfolk than the sorry plight of the perpetually-poor, perpetually-suffering black masses.
P.S. I have met quite a few ex-pat Zimbabweans over the years, some of whom have been real characters. There was one guy I met when staying in a hostel in Sydney who was completely mental. I once asked him where he was from (the accent is a bit like South Africans but with a plummy British tone to it) and he told me he was from "BRITISH RHODESIA". "Oh, you mean Zimbabwe?" I replied innocently. Bad idea.....

The colonial powers provided good government, infrastructure, and agricultural production that increased the carrying capacity of the continent. Now that all these countries have kicked the Europeans out, they are steadily reverting to the iron age civilization that is normal for them, but which cannot support the current large populations.

Demographically, I believe it's almost a statistical law that nations with the highest infant mortality and lowest life expectancy have the highest birth rates of all. The reasoning is that it ensures a greater chance one will survive into adulthood.

Africans will breed as much and as long as they have food. The more aid they receive, the more they'll breed. They will always be starving as a result. The problem is unsolvable.
Africa is overpopulated. Their civilization can only support hunter-and-gatherer level of population density. Everything above comes as white man's burden.
