The american media created this phony scandal so they wouldn't have to talk about the PP baby-parts-for-sale scandal.

In Zimbabwe We Don t Cry for Lions - The New York Times

aug 5 2015
Cecil who? I wondered. When I turned on the news and discovered that the messages were about a lion killed by an American dentist, the village boy inside me instinctively cheered: One lion fewer to menace families like mine.
My excitement was doused when I realized that the lion killer was being painted as the villain. I faced the starkest cultural contradiction I’d experienced during my five years studying in the United States.

Did all those Americans signing petitions understand that lions actually kill people? That all the talk about Cecil being “beloved” or a “local favorite” was media hype? Did Jimmy Kimmel choke upbecause Cecil was murdered or because he confused him with Simba from “The Lion King”?
In my village in Zimbabwe, surrounded by wildlife conservation areas, no lion has ever been beloved, or granted an affectionate nickname. They are objects of terror

To cry you need the luxury for tears. They are mostly concerned with eating that day.

That's correct....once the bread basket of southern Africa, Mugabe threw out the white farmers, burned down the farm buildings, and the Zim is now the basket case of southern Africa.

White farmers? Sure thing, from where originally?

From Rhodesia of course, moron. Bob's militia was rewarded with white farms after the farmers were either run off or murdered. In the one farm I know about first hand, the buildings were torn down for firewood and the farm abandoned.

one guy doesnt care and wrote it down. THIS MEANS SOMETHING!

There aren't any whites from there silly. No whites in Africa period, unless they colonized the place, which is how they got the land, of others.

Yup - blacks need the white man to do everything for them. Blacks can't do technology. South africa is collapsing too.

Got that right. All it takes is a handful of whites to take over a black country since whites have technology while blacks are still using spears. Tough for a continent with an average IQ of 68 to stand up to white people.

There weren't any blacks in modern Alabama before the 1700's either....so their descendents have no claim on property there?

Guess that makes it right in your mind eh?

Iran will be pleased. 75 million Persians, 5 million Zionists. No sweat.

Did they steal the land or take it by force?

Yes it does mean something. Glad you understand.

 

[Bonzi]

If you care more about a lion that people your priorities are wrong

What's the difference, genius? Point is the Rhodesia was built by whites into a prosperous, self-sufficient country from scratch. Ask the blacks in Harari if they're better off now or before when they weren't begging for food.

Why not? Whitey came from there.
