I think I already understand how you view the situation.

You think you understand, but you have yet to tell me how you think I view the situation.

This is a very good post. I'm shocked how the British have pretended they were never involved in building the infrastructure to a "tribal-hunter-gatherer" culture in the late 1800's?  Why are they so guilty? It's pathetic?  Yet ....the Americans wiped out the Native Indians and the Aussies wiped out the Aborigini's..... BUT at least the Brit's said  "Let's build this together guys?".  So why the guilt?

And yes....the CHINESE are raping the African states as we speak .....FAR worse than the Europeans did?  But no one says a damn word?

It is said the shame and/or sins of the father, visits the sons up until the 7th generation.
Europeans have a lot to feel guilty for with respect to their rape, pillage, and plunder of the African Continent, ...and they have left systems in place that perpetuate the injustice and inequality. The game was rigged, the scales padded, and the wealth expectedly funnelled into the hands of a few, ...no different than here in North America.

The Chinese may indeed be raping Africa, however, for many African, ...they are enjoying the benefits of KY.

I have heard many Africans express the sentiment "What are the Chinese going to do to us, that the Europeans have not done before? ...yet we have survived. We have survived all your humiliations, and your bombings, ...so what can the Chinese do that you haven't tried already."

It's kind of like when Americans say "we tried Republican governments, and we've tried Democratic governments, ...so screw it, I'm voting third party this time."

I don't know what the solution to injustice is, but I do know it isn't more injustice!

Please just stop.  You have no original opinions of your own. You need to think for yourself.   Modern Europeans have nothing to feel guilty for.  All the people responsible are dead.  Get on with your fucking life and stop blaming people for things they have no control over.  The world is unfair, get used to it.  Why don't you take your gold and moved back to Africa.

By this logic Africans must have committed many sins they had to pay for.  Slavery, poverty, aids must all be retribution for something.

Agreed. Let's start with the destruction of the English language and the American public school system.

No my little Pavlovian dog, ...you stop. You don't get it at all. But those who do get it know exactly how I feel about the situation.

Furthermore, you lump ALL modern Europeans into the same category, and ALL Africans into the same category, ...and while it is an assumption on my part, ...I believe you have categorized Europeans and Africans along racial lines, ...have you not?  I haven't. A corrupt unjust system of racial & economic apartheid was instituted, and countless Africans have been paying the price for it. Africans like Mike Campbell, our very own Grant, ...and countless thousands more whose names we do not even know... both black & white, ...or do you not believe there is such a thing as a White African, ...or Black European?

Like I said, the sins of the fathers are visited upon the sons up to the 7th generation, ...and there is a lot of guilt to go around. And again like I said previously:

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SOLUTION TO INJUSTICE IS, BUT I DO KNOW IT ISN'T MORE INJUSTICE!

Hopefully, that giant sucking sound was your head coming out of your anatomy. Stop seeing only what you want to see. Oh... as for your "take your gold and go back to Africa" comment, ...how very unracist of you 

Why the heck do people insist on inserting crap into a discussion that has nothing to do with the discussion as soon as their cages get rattled?

You're right, I don't get stupid.  I have an allergic reaction to the irrational.  You sound like a fool with the sins upon the 7th generation nonsense.  No one alive today is responsible for or should feel guilty about the actions committed by others in the past.  Why is that so hard for you to understand?  You're the one lumping all white people together in a mass of collective guilt.  I know you're incapable of seeing that.

Take your gold and go back to Africa isn't racist.  I'm simply pointing out the fact that you might be happier there not surrounded by the evil white oppressors and your vast collection of gold would surely help their economy. There is no cure for injustice, there has never been and there never will be.  Injustice and inequality are unfortunate realities that will never be rectified.

How many generations have black people suffered?  Are they on the 7th generation yet.  What did they do to deserve such misery?  It must have been pretty bad.  According to you, it would make sense that they had committed some awful sins to be punished so severely.  And because they are so obviously being punished for their own sins, do they have a right to be mad at their oppressors, who are only fulfilling the will of karma/fate/god?

Holey Moley!!!! I'm almost speechless, ...but not really. This concept isn't really all that new.
I've never seen or heard of a country expropriating ownership rights without compensation in order to do it tho.

A good friend of mine is an elderly Indian investor. A Brahmin man whose portfolio consists of stocks, bonds, real estate, gold., etc., etc., He occasionally gives me investing advice, tips etc., and one day he was telling me about some of the shares he had and how they had performed over the years.

One of the things they used to do was buy up shares of a company, ...and have relatives run them. This way they knew the company would be well run. A few Brahmin families would get together and decide so & so's son is qualified to run the company, and they would buy up 51% of the shares, then install so & so's son to run the company.

The only companies he didn't do that with were the big multi nationals, however, he did tell me that the only reason he was even able to own shares in companies like Unilever, Colgate etc etc was because when these companies came to India, and started buying up land, the Indian government made them stipulate than 51% of the shares issued in India had to go to Indians. Had it not been for that he said, the British would have reaped all the profits.

This type of nationalism isn't new. Canada employs it's own brand of nationalism over what it considers strategic industries. This is one of the reasons the recent potash sale did not go through. We have certain industries where it is stipulated that a certain percentage MUST be Canadian owned.

Case in point... Netflix crushed the home video markets destroying Blockbuster Video in the process. Blockbuster Canada was very profitable, however, there was so much red ink flowing stateside, the Canadian division was too negatively impacted, and despite initial optimism that they could retain the Cdn div, but close the stores stateside, ...they ended up closing them all.

Often, what alot of these companies would do is simply trim costs, by cutting jobs outside of the home country of the corp, leaving foreign economies devastated.

By stipulating a certain percentage of ownership must be local, ...it ensures the wealth of the community is recirculated within that community, and not siphoned off and exported off shore, as it is now in many cases.

What I find hilarious or rather ironic in that article is the expressed notion that Mugabe was "introducing economic apartheid". Oh Puleaze! What the heck did they think was in place for so many years? Does it only become economic apartheid when it excludes you?

ps: While Mugabe's move is not unprecedented, I can certainly see where people take issue with it.

pps: Mugabe needs a new publicist. His PR person is asleep at the wheel.

Myself, I'm concerned about the fact that he placed the people at risk for severe, long-term malnutrition. That's my first problem with him.
