The last sentence makes it clear who he means - who else but Donald?

Cape Town –
White-owned monopoly capital is to blame for the storm that raged across the Western Cape this week, Black First Land First (BLF) leader Andile Mngxitama has said.
"It may strike many as an outlandish claim that the Cape Storms are a direct product of global capitalism and its local representatives we know as white monopoly capital," he wrote in an opinion piece on Thursday. Truth is for the last 500 years or so, capitalists have not just destroyed people through the long holocaust of the cross Atlantic slavery where they came and captured people as if we were animals to enslave. At the same time for profits, the same evil forces assaulted nature. What we see today is the ecological costs of capitalism and racism."
Mngxitama acknowledged that "there were storms before capitalism and racism", but "humans understood their range and quite rage (sic)".
"As long as we didn’t disrupt nature, mother nature gave in abundance. But then things changed. The white man appeared, phallic, with gluttonous intentions."

Does anyone actually believe that: The white man came in his little ships and armed with his matchlock muskets rounded up the Africans like sheep. I assume you guys know what a Matchlock and a musket is. The very idea that few honkies armed with primitive weapons could subdue a whole village should be an insult to black and African manhood. The Africans were not sheep they were good warriors it took more than a few crackers to enslave them, it took an army. The Europeans were not slave hunters they were slave buyers. Buying slave was too cheap to run the risk of hunting them.
And besides the local kings and chiefs had a Monopoly and didn’t care to have any competition.
