I doubt the people complaining are invested in Zimbabwe, as multi-racial democracy. They may have other ideas about what supposed to go on in the former Rhodesia, but that wouldn't be "Zimbabwe". Unless we're going to give credit to Mugabe for "being" Zimbabwe, which I'm sure he'd appreciate.
I'm just saying they've been multi-racial. It shouldn't come as a shock to any educated person that there are white Zimbabweans. Albeit they are a tiny minority.
They probably don't realize that its history is not really like South Africa at all. I had to refresh myself. The whites fought a civil war rather than give in to black rule but lost I guess. The thugocracy that took over treated everyone poorly, but whites were among those who were treated like conquered people. And I think they were treated especially poorly for being white.
In a sense, the whites float on top of African politics. They are off with the land, whereas I assume the democratic politics focus on the cities and the villages. Land redistribution (ie commie nigs stealing from whites) was supposed to happen, but it's been slow since it's a bad idea. But then the whites are on their own. Ofc it's not like Zimbabwe's government does much for people at the best of times. The whites get farm-murdered, but the real political conflict isn't with the whites any more. Their more recent conflicts have been between different black groups. So even if Mugabe wanted to be off abusing the whites, he has to focus on his own ass not getting murdered.

Gotcha. I admit my knowledge of the country is very little besides the fact it was once called Rhodesia and there was a white genocide?

Oh. Well I knew that. I would imagine there is a white minority in most if not all African countries. These people complaining are beyond clueless
Funny thing is? They often have affirmative action...favoring the black majority.
Americans aren't taught anything about Zimbabwe.
Oh, you said educated. Right.
