To which I reply

"I am not maligning you; I am letting you know that you are unbelievable. I am sure I did not misquote you. You are not the only one who can be sarcastic, and I am letting you know that.
We had plenty of exchanges over peasants. I will post one of these quotes to remind you. I am also including a distorted view you gave about race."

Taking my statements out of context with intent to characterise is pretty much what I would call intent to malign. As for belief, I think you are unbelievable with your desperate pettiness. Look at how you take a simple discussion about the Ark of the Covenant in to another of your Masimba-bashing campaigns.

"Some of your statements:

1) "I am well acquainted with the origin of the word peasant thank you very much. And I am offended that you would apply this to the Rastafarian. We are children of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

I asked you a question: all I want is for you to define clearly what the term "anti-peasnt" means. Kana zvichikunetsa zvekutsanangura zvacho then don't use it.

UPDATE:There is now consensus in the family on how the land is to be made profitable.

'3) "The people who move to the UK are mostly not refugees, not political refugees. The suffering masses who get beaten up and terrorised by the Mugabe regime do not have the money to come over here. It used to take months to get a passport in Zimbabwe, must take years now given that more people need them."

How does this statement make me anti-peasant whatever that is?

'4) "As for making money here, that is what I was doing in Zimbabwe, and I think it is good to carry on business. The money is sent home to assist my family."'

What, now you have a problem with a man trying to make something of himself wherever he is? Or is it a problem with a particular man?

'5 ) "Are any of you familiar with the African concept of race?

In my culture, race is patrilineal. For example,I am Buja. My mother is of the VaHera, her mother is of the VaKorekore. My patrilineal grandmother is a Buja. I take my identity from my father, and will pass it on to my children and it will continue in the male line.

This means that four generations of interracial unions later and my descendants are blue-eyed blonde whites or slant eyed japanese or whatever, as long as they are in the male line, they are still as Buja as their cousins in north-east Zimbabwe- my people's ancestral home. By this same logic, Bob Marley is Scottish, as are Ziggy & siblings.

Skin colour does not come in to it. Did you know that there are no words in my language that are equivalent to any of the racial terms in English? Even the term for a white person simply means "foreigner". And even so, we tend not to use the word "foreigner", preferring euphemisms like "mubvakure" meaning "One who comes from afar".

As much as words are needed to convey and keep thoughts, I should say that we Africans had this whole race issue figured out a long time ago."

Yes, I said this and I will stick by it.It is a lot more logical to me than your facist-racist drivel.

I think I told you- the quotation I last saw it on a poster in a shop in Brixton. When I go there- I live on the other side of London- I will check the date. I gather it is a popular poster, so maybe someone has it and can supply the date.

You haven't answered my question; can you speak any African language at all? A simple yes or no, I am not going to put you on trial.
