    Except Black people.

    The evicted white farmers from Zimbabwe have been offered $3.5 billion.

    Crazy how white people who aren’t even native to the country are being offered this much in reparations where as the descendants of slaves won’t ever see anything.

    "In 2000, a program was implemented by the regime in order to redistribute land to indigenous black farmers. With this program, white farmers were stripped of their land and 1.2 million black farmers benefitted. However, at the end of 2002 productivity took a turn for the worst. Production levels were extremely low because the new farmers lacked financial resources, equipment and practice. Production levels increased in 2004 but they did not make up for the loss had a few years earlier. Ultimately, this resulted in the dependency Zimbabwe has on food imports and urban areas suffered the most because they relied on food imports the. Unfortunately, importation is slow due to the lack of foreign currency Zimbabwe acquires."

    Oh s***, is that what white supremacy looks like? I genuinely didn't know that.

    I mean just look at this evil white capitalist oppressing black folk:

    Good example. I mean right here in this video we can see racism in it's final form, this white man is obviously full of hatred towards the people of color, as he didn't even greet them while arriving, let alone done anything more than that.

    Jesus, it was bad enough framing the colonial system as some sort of meritocracy, but doubling down and feeding the white saviour narrative

    Might as well start singing Die Stem

    I haven't implied that my convictions won't change Zimbabwe at all, nor do I subscribe to the idea of an individual really changing the world.

    All I'm doing is pointing out the vile nature of your posts, the subtext in them is disgusting whether intended or not, especially since it hits so close to home for me. and you're out here celebrating it.

    This is what white privilege looks like, the fact you could dissociate from the reality of why Fast Track Land Reform was a thing for starters.

    Look, you can't expect me to defend myself for something I don't believe in. If my posts do communicate some unintended message, then point it out and criticize it, but I'm not going to carry that burden. Maybe I should be less sarcastic in the future to avoid this.

    If you didn't comment on s*** you don't know about that would be dandy
