Zimbabwe abuses Americans saving it from mass starvation
[American Thinker] One reason for reading the output of left wing entities is that many are very well funded and thus have the ability to cover subjects that the media doesn’t have the resources to inquire into. Thus you get to read about plenty of developments that you wouldn’t otherwise be aware of. They also tell us of what they are afraid of and the things they fear might happen that will affect the credibility of the narrative.
Hey yo, did I say something wrong? Is it the red tie ?
Thus Foreign Policy, a magazine in the stable of the Washington Post, just published an article complaining about how mean the Zimbabwe government is to the American ambassador, who is black. From that article:
The pro-government Sunday Mail called him an "Uncle Tom" and a "house nigger dressed in a fine suit" ‐ and that was just in his first week on the job; and:
When the U.S. Embassy here put out a statement in February denouncing the "continuing deterioration of the human rights situation in Zimbabwe," then-President Robert Mugabe’s spokesman responded by suggesting that American critics of the Zimbabwean government, including U.S. Ambassador Harry K. Thomas Jr., should "go and hang on a banana tree."
It seems that the Zimbabwean government isn’t taking the United States very seriously. The comedy gold is further down in the article when it mentions that "the United States now feeds roughly a quarter of Zimbabweans with "emergency food aid". What that looks like is shown in the this graph:
Zimbabwe’s ills are all self-inflicted, as are Venezuela’s (and most other places). They could feed themselves from their own efforts if they wanted to. But why bother if the United States is sending them all that free wheat? All the while they abuse the American ambassador with racial epithets “that the Ku Klux Klan doesn’t even use anymore.”
