Racism cuts both ways
Zimbabwean activist Natasha Msonza touches on a sensitive topic, all the more dangerous when spoken in a country where the ruling kleptocracy routinely blames the country’s economic problems on white racists, neo-colonialist farmers and imperialist foreigners. Referring to a column published in the Zimbabwe Independent, she notes several telling instances of racist behaviour, and writes:
I couldn’t help agreeing with Muckraker when he/she wrote: “…primitive racism is now the official creed of Zanu PF.” Now before anyone starts labeling me an unpatriotic born-free who doesn’t understand the sovereignty our ancestors died for; will the real racists please stand up?
