Mugabe is definitely nuts, but his racial hatred is somewhat understandable. Zimbabwe used to be called Rhodesia, Cecil Rhodes a true imperialist exploiter...look HIM up, the poor folks of Zimbabwe just can't catch a break!

Robert Mugabe has gone totally off his head.

With 4000% inflation, he will starve his country to death just to promote his racial hatred.
