I don't hate Africans ... I love them. I think they're one of the most beautifull people of the world... Thern I'm refering to those very black people with very white teeth, it just looks cool. And they never did me any harm, so I love them.

Most people do not hate Africa or its population.
However, you have to remember that Africa has some of the most brutal & corrupt regimes in the world. My personal experience was as a tourist visiting Zimbabwe in 2001.
I found the people very friendly, and had discussions with lots of different people - members of the ruling ZanuPF party, white & black farmers, black workers, and genuine subsistence farmers. At that time there was some unease about president Magabe, but everyone thought things would work out OK.
What has happened since then?
The last election was rigged - violence, ballot stuffing & intimidation were common place, so that Magabe got re-elected.
He then proceeded with his racist campaign to evict white farmers (not black ones) from their land, using rape & violence by ZanuPF youths to make sure the farms were destroyed (with the assistance of the police).
As a direct result the country is now suffering from a famine, with half the population not having enough to eat. The only way to get food is to show that you are a ZanuPF party member (as in communist Russia, where you had to be a card carrying member to get anywhere).
To claim this is a result of England’s colonial past is ridiculous. The UK has agreed to pay several million £ to Zimbabwe if the land is re-distributed in a legal and sensible fashion.
Biased reporting?
No - but only the US seems to want to step up sanctions on such an obnoxious regime. The EU refuses to do anything, as does Nelson Mandella - he seems to assume that because it is an African state, Magabe must be in the right.
