<<I am sure you are aware of the disparity of white versus black land holdings.>> What disparity? My guess is that whites own less than 1% of the land in Africa, however it would not surprise me if that 1% contributes more that 30% to the African economy.

<<Seems a shame that a few could cause so much misery on so many.>> You might have a point here, take Zimbabwe as an example. One person, i.e., Robert Mugabe has over the past few years plunged at least 5 million people into starvation. Now there is an example of just one person causing misery to millions.

And while we are on this topic the white land owners in Zimbabwe have on problem with sharing their land they object to the way it is been taken away. Mugube topped his own constitution and his countries laws in the way he went about it. The food is now gone and the people starve.

What has Louis Farrahkan ever done for Africa? He keeps them in the past and fuels racial hatred. Africans need to listen to the greatest statesman they have ever had, that person is Nelson Mandela. He has urged Africans to stop blaming everything in their past and look towards the future. He has said this on many occasions. Here is a piece from a speech on 27 July 2002.
"No longer shall we seek to place blame for our position elsewhere or to look to others to take responsibility for our development. We are the masters of our own fate," the 84-year-old Nobel laureate said.

Clinton, no comment.
