THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

There will be a world conference on global warming in Johannesburg, South Africa. It will represent that same brilliant thinking that made southern Africa what it is today. South Africa has gotten rid of white rule and now has the world's highest crime rate and a near majority of its black population has AIDS and is dying. In the rest of Africa, where this anti-white "wisdom" rules, there is starvation. Few if any African blacks today have the rights in their black-ruled lands that South African blacks had under the apartheid regime.

But worst of all, there is no prospect for improvement. In black-ruled Africa, there is less for everybody every day. Countries that exported food under white regimes are starving now. That was never true in white-ruled Africa.

Every day, more of Africa enters the starvation phase of progressive economic policy.

So what are these geniuses meeting to lecture the world on this time?
