How to tell when something has gone wrong in your country
Written by: Beck
Well, if the black citizens of a nation begin
opining for the days of apartheid, that could be a good sign.
The hungry children and the families dying of AIDS here are gut-wrenching, but somehow what I find even more depressing is this: Many, many ordinary black Zimbabweans wish that they could get back the white racist government that oppressed them in the 1970's.
"If we had the chance to go back to white rule, we'd do it," said Solomon Dube, a peasant whose child was crying with hunger when I arrived in his village. "Life was easier then, and at least you could get food and a job."
[...] When a white racist government was oppressing Zimbabwe, the international community united to demand change. These days, a black racist government is harming the people of Zimbabwe more than ever, and the international community is letting Mr. Mugabe get away with it. Our hypocrisy is costing hundreds of Zimbabwean lives every day.
Good work there, Mugabe. You've managed to make your nation's former colonial masters look
good. Not an easy task, but you were the man for the job big guy.
