Before one attacks Rhodes, one must remember the context of the times. For example, Matabele society was not at all fair. It was full of class discrimination, sexist discrimination and even practiced forms of serfdom and slavery. So before one makes claims about Rhodes, remember that if he were a black imperialist (like Shaka), then he would be venerated as a hero, solely on the basis of being non-white. Rhodes was not a nice, but nor was anyone else - at the time. If he is a criminal (in the human rights terms) - then so were the 1000's of tyrants and criminals who ruled Africa before him, and who rule Africa to this day.

[@glendodds546]

An excellent comment.

[@duncanlaing6078]

ball bust ...Rhodes had the "single greatest deleterious effect on the people of southern Africa of anyone not just of his time but of all time!" So you think that Rhodes caused more harm than than say, a Verwoerd, or a Kitchener? When you say things like that, dont expect people to take the rest of your arguments seriously. Instead of making a convincing argument, you are accusing me of being racist, childish, ect. But if you truly believed I was all those things, you wouldnt bother trying to make an argument - at all (there would be no rational point). So either you dont believe that, or you believe that I made some valid points, and are using name calling only because those points conflict with your world view.

[@duncanlaing6078]

I was born in (Southern) Rhodesia too many years ago and grew up revering Cecil John Rhodes. My thinking has evolved drastically across the years. Today I try to look at ALL us humans, realizing our universal beauty and giftedness and yet at the same time, how full of hubris and self-propelled aggression we are, whether we're at the top or the bottom of the human heap. I long for a heart -- a mentality or world-view -- that sees us all as we actually are: one homogenous heap; even with all our seething and boiling. As long as we go forth conquering and to conquer, hating and counter-hating we sentence ourselves to individual and collective misery. The phenomenon of Cecil Rhodes and what he believed in -- what drove him -- is new only in it's colonial and thus global applications and implications. With Rhodes, the ancient, primitive supremacy "ideals" took on frightful, even staggering international implications for the future of the whole human race. More humility, respect and yes, loving one another ... this is a both a daunting and an indispensable ideal -- the only one that will actually work.

Should the value of a man be measured by the pursuit of wealth and accolades, then Cecil Rhodes would undoubtedly be paralleled by only the greatest of those whom envision life's purpose similarly. Should the value be of morality and compassion then perhaps the length of his life was diminished in direct proportion. When reflecting on this mini series I can say that his desire for self promotion was only exceeded by that of his ego in pursuing those desires. A man who appears to have great insight and intuition which chooses to search for the glitz of gold and diamonds. A drive for the expanse of colonial Britain that is superseded by his disdain for the country's nearsightedness. A desire for the growth of civilized society only to ruthlessly destroy lives through the proclamation of war and the repression of those dissimilar to himself. His words, actions, and methods were all in contradiction for the sole purpose of self glorification and power. If Cecil Rhodes is exemplified as one of the greatest men in history (a legend) then society must alter its views on what it means to be the greatest species on the planet.

I'm sure it's no coincidence that English is the only language spoken on a heavenly body, ie. the moon.

[@alecblunden8615]

The story is that Pope Gregory inspecting the new stock Y Rome's slave market came across some blond haired, blue eyed specimens and asked who they were. The answer was "Angles", and the response "Non Angli sed Angeli / No, not Angles', but Angels". Probably apocryphal, but I have no evidence to support angelic leanings among Angles, Saxons or Jutes.

Make a historical "drama" and it becomes a movie that ppl are dumb enuogh to believe reflects reality.. do wonder if any of the ppl commenting here have actually read any books on Cecil Rhodes?

[@wvanderzalm]

You make an interesting point, do you know of any good resources for studying Rhodes? I'll consider linking to them in the description.

[@iliveinDDR]

​ @Wesley Vanderzalm The Internet Archieve has a not bad selection of books on Cecil Rhodes that ppl can check out . some written by ppl who actually knew or worked with him.. one of the better books by Sahara R. Millin can also be borrowed there .. do need to be discriminating in the books though.. many were written by ppk who neither knew or worked w/ Rhodes & used less than reliable source material and /or wander from facts into personal assumptions abt Rhodes based on what looks to be preconceived notions abt the man

[@simbarashemapfumo2764]

This man was more like Pharaoh he killed many innocent souls for the sake of riches I will never support a leader like that shame on him...

The Anglo-Saxon mythology was the basis of colonialism, exploitation, thievery, racism, etc. They didn't set out to extend justice, liberty or democracy to the world. He was a villain and no hero.

[@scaryterry0108]

I love colonialism

[@amicuscoach59]

So your heroes are Mugabe, Hitler, Stalin and their Chaka

[@alecblunden8615]

Pray tell, what aspect of Anglo Saxon culture gave rise to these issues, and how do you explain the colonialism of China, Greece, Rome , Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, America,Germany and the rest?

They were a brutal lot werent they the afrikanners and to a less extend the Brits. One wonders why they had so much hatred including going from Holland to Africa and being so full of hatred and greed!

[@amicuscoach59]

Then you get Mugabe who killed millions by directly slaughtering them or doing the Stalin and killing them by malnutrition, destroying those terrible white hospitals, schools, farms, ranches. Don't forget Chaka Zulu who made Hitler look like a Sunday School teacher.

[@alecblunden8615]

They came to South Africa to supply the Dutch East India men sailing to the East Indies. They were not alone,. And there was no hatred etc. The native population in the 17th century was confined to Hottentots who were nomadic and no threat. The Bantu came into contact with the Boers in the early 19th century when the Boers were travelling north and the Bantu South. They were a threat -;a very real threat - and hatred is bred by fear.

[@dougearnest7590]

You really should specify -- which Black African leader are you referring to? With so many wars of conquest and genocide and atrocities committed and (gasp) keeping of slaves throughout the history of that part of the world (up to and including the present day) we don't have any idea to whom you refer. Also, what does your comment have to do with a video about the man who created the "Breadbasket of Africa" -- (or at least it was until the communists and their "useful idiot" minions in the West screwed it up for the entire continent.)

@@briansheehan5256 Most importantly Cecil Rhodes was one of the Imperial RACIST that contributed to false narrative of Africa. He was one those thar help set the tone of destroying the people and stealing the resources. And people are so honored to be RHODE SCHOLAR.

I agree, but don't react, explain and analyze. Why was Rhodes an evil man?........................

[@allysoobratty7565]

Africa will be BORDER LESS whether you like it or not

[@harvestcanada]

Ally Soobratty In order for the African Continent to be successfully borderless we need to understand that this idea which is at the moment what it is, we have to understand the complexities in context of modern history, we ignore the issues which will arise at our peril which is what we in African Diaspora have been doing for too long a time. I have got no time for dashiki wearers or quasi historians who think they know Africa when the clearly don't. there needs to be skilled people who can make a borderless Africa a reality.
