Give and Take

It was Desmond Tutu who said, "When the missionaries came to Africa, they had the Bible and we had the land. They said, 'Let us pray.' We closed our eyes. When we opened them, we had the Bible and they had the land."

Unfortunatly, the bible didn't seem to take to well with the South African natives. South Africa was the only civilized country in Africa, until the natives took the land back-by force. Led by marxist murderers, they ran ran off the farmers and others only to turn back to tribalism and anachary. SA now has the highest murder, rape, and theft rates of any place on earth. Many farmers were killed becouse they were white(A crime, apparently), after stealing the farms they have yet to produce any crops. The people are starving. People who were lucky enough to survive the "transfer of power" lost everything they owned and had worked for. South Africans-both white and black-need our prayers. The plight of this country is not covered by the controlled press becouse they always have tried to make out as if the marxists were some kind of great liberators for the African people.

Just thought I'd share some history with ya'all.

Thanks for the history lesson. It seems like all nations have a history of conquest and destruction in the name of some grand ideal.
