Neely Fuller, Jr. said, "If you don't understand white supremacy--what it is, and how it works -- everything else that you understand will only confuse you."

Let me preface my article by saying I am not excusing Mr. Mugabe and Zanu-PF for some of the political and economic missteps during the past 28 years, however, this is not about Mugabe and Zanu-PF. My goal is to put Mugabe in context. Mugabe, a man who has been demonized by the whites and the western media, must be put into context to gain a better understanding of the current situation in Zimbabwe.

Last week while reading The Economist magazine, I came across a very interesting article titled, "Time for the rescue: How to help Zimbabwe, if Robert Mugabe really gives up power at last" (The Economist, March 22-28, 2008). According to the article, Zimbabwe's rescuers would be: The West, Afrikan run but minority controlled South Africa and Botswana, and the global white supremacy institutions IMF, and the World Bank. What do all these rescuers have in common? They are all controlled by Whites! And the IMF and World Bank are nothing more than Global white supremacy institutions that use so called foreign Aid to control the Afrikan people and Afrika's natural resources. Of course whites want the IMF, World Bank, and white controlled South Africa and Botswana to come and rescue Zimbabwe. This would be a perfect set up for Zimbabwe's former colonial oppressors the British and the minority whites of Zimbabwe to once again manipulate the political system and control Zimbabwe's natural
resources, especially at a time when everyone is scrambling for Afrika's natural resources.

Until Independence, Zimbabwe's white minority had ruled Zimbabwe from 1923 to 1979. During this time the minority whites controlled politics and the economy. Blacks were not only disenfranchised, they were also brutally forced off their ancestral lands, creating an inequitable distribution of land that allowed the white minorities who made up less than 1% of the population to own more than 80% of the land.

It is easy for whites and their African agents to point the finger at Mr. Mugabe as the sole cause of the current economic and political situation in Zimbabwe. Since the end of white rule, led my Ian Smith, the whites in Zimbabwe and their British and South African cousins have not been able to bring Mr. Mugabe into submission. Let us not be fooled into believing that Zimbabwe's so called "economic collapse" is due solely to Mr. Mugabe and Zanu-PF mis-management of the economy, although they do bear some of the responsibility. The root cause of Zimbabwe's collapse is due largely to the anger of the former ruling white minority elites who felt a sense of entitlement over Zimbabwe's economy, politics, and resources; so how dare a black man strip them of what they believe is rightfully theirs? How dare a black man stripe them of land they believe is rightfully theirs, despite the fact that blacks were murdered and forcefully taken off these lands? Once the whites realized that they could not bring Mr. Mugabe into submission politically, many of them fled to South Africa, Botswana, and Britain, taking with them the country's wealth and most of the country's professional classes, leaving behind institutions blacks were inadequately prepared to manage due to their lack of participation during white minority rule. Once Mugabe proved to be a formidable opponent, the Zimbabwean whites, the British, the EU, and to a lesser extent the U.S, began engaging in subversive political and economic activities designed to undermine Mr. Mugabe from every possible angle. Zimbabwe's former colonial oppressors have been using every economic and political tactic to choke the country and force Mr. Mugabe out of power.

By stripping whites of their economic and political power over blacksand Zimbabwe's resources, Mugabe sent a loud and clear message to the British and the West that it had become independent, and was on a journey to remove the vestiges of colonialism and white entitlement, and was establishing itself as a sovereign black nation. The United States, Britain, and the European Union have imposed what they call targeted sanctions at President Robert Mugabe and his key supporters, and the country as well. These involve travel bans, and restrictions on commercial activities. Their goal is to make it so difficult economically on the people of Zimbabwe that they will eventually cry for their European saviors to come back in and steal the resources so they can live a better life, even if it means not having national sovereignty. Like their forefathers did, the Europeans and their mentally enslaved Afrikan agents are trying their best to keep Zimbabwe in poverty until the people will get fed up and be willing to get back on the global plantation.

This game is bigger than Mr. Mugabe. The game is about global control, and whites want everything under their control. European nations are starving for natural resources, and not as influential politically as they once were, so they are now forced to compete with emerging economies for limited resources; Because they are unable to directly exploit the mother Continent, they have become very clever at finding other means, and any Afrikan leader or country that stands in that way will be destroyed if not militarily, economically, or politically. They want to control Afrika's resources, and will gladly do everything they can, even using our own mentally enslaved and mentally handicapped leaders and people to ensure that the Mother Continent is kept in a perpetual state of political and economic retardation.

Mugabe would not have anywhere near as much external support as he does on the mother Continent if the whites' primary concern isn't only about Zimbabwe's white minority. Most of the victims of the current "economic collapse" are actually black Zimbabweans, but what does that matter when all one sees and hears is a chance to indulge in "white man as victim" posturing, and totally disregard the role these whites played in oppressing black Zimbabweans politically, economically, and
socially?
