Ms.Grasso, these Farmers were feeding the nation and were providing job for the people.

Len, or Ms.Grasso, tell me about you. What makes you so mean? I offer to help you and turn against me. I tried to be your friend, but you couldn't help to be a bitch! What is it with you citizen of the thrid world. I have nothing against black and brown people. I even think that your very exotic, and even funny people. I have visited your country once, and I like the people (but not the food, too hot for my taste!) Why don't you go back and live us all alone. I can help you, I mean it. I can send you a plane ticket (non.refoundable) and 200 dollars for you to buy two mules and then you can work and support your family!

len. You said...." they benefited by being white colonists or children of white colonists and it was agreed that land would be distributed to the Blacks, but was not in a timely orderly manner. Now this action is a shock to the system...
The Economist calls it Nairobbery , I call it ineptness by the British.".....

These Farmers were born, raised and worked the land that they lived on. They were citizens of Zimbabwe and Zimbabwe was their homeland. Now their land and homes are being taken from them only because they are white. The British colonized North America would you also call this ineptness? Should all the land in North America be given back to those who are descendents of the original natives ?

Do you really think those farms will be viable now? The natives wanted the farms to loot they don't want to operate farms and they don't know how to even if they did. There was plenty of land available for farming btw. If their intentions were serious they could have started farming any available piece of dirt.
