I'm From Rhodesia

A fun little edit about Zimbabwe vs. Rhodesia, featuring a scene from "Blood Diamond" (2006), and some awesome music from the legendary Clem Tholet and "Rome"
And no, before you get your knickers in a knot, this has nothing to do with racism. Southern Rhodesia and the later Republic of Rhodesia actually did exist. 80% of their security forces were black, and Ian Smith literally fought Nazism. Go cry somewhere else Antifa.

Mugabe re-named the country 'zimbabwe' after the ancient ruins at zimbabwe - because he said that they were the remains of a vast African Empire. When the archaeologists examined those ruins, however, they discovered that they were NOT part of any ancient civilization at all - but the remains of a 1200 year old islamic_slave fort. Mugabe named the country after a detention centre built by the arabs to round up local African victims.

Also the discovery that Neanderthal man - who only lived in Europe and survived three ice ages by working as a team and preparing for the winters - was not erradicated but actually ASSIMILATED with Cro-Magnon man. Thus Europeans are actually a very successful hybrid species - confirmed by DNA. That was actually reported (rather quietly) on the Discovery Channel.

[@matchesburn]

He was Rhodesian, but he was also SADF. He even says in the movie at some point, likely because he was Rhodesian, that he never gave two shits about apartheid or the color of his fellow soldiers because it didn't matter when you were in combat. To put things in perspective, Rhodesia actually had more freedoms and rights for blacks than America - let alone South Africa - at the time. Blacks were integrated into the military, could become officers, ect. Which makes it incredibly insulting when people make revisionist history about Rhodesia being racist or supporting apartheid. If you were a black person, Rhodesia was probably the most free English-speaking country on the planet. ...And then Robert Mugabe came about.

[@vindicatedafi]

@matchesburn so they had everything handed to them but still turned traitor for a more tribalistic cause. Such a waste of time and resources put into them. Lessons learned for the future though.

[@Thelionpaladin]

matchesburn I think the fundamental issue is whether you’d have ended up with the same systematic issue you have in South Africa. Although now in South Africa Blacks and whites have the same social and civil liberties, which may have been the case in Rhodesia (I can’t comment on that specifically I don’t know enough about that aspect), one would still have a situation where a racial minority still made up a disproportionate percentage of the landowners/civil servants/people in power etc. Rhodesia, even as jt progressed into a democracy, was still essentially a white minority ruled state, at the very least economically. Although one could argue that Rhodesia had it existed would have lead to black emancipation earlier than South Africa, I think the issue of economic disparity which would be the constant cause of racial tensions and implicit oppression and violence would still be there? Am I saying what Mugabe did when he straight up seized land was a good idea and handing it to cronies? Not at all. But I think it’s clear had Rhodesia survived, it would have, like South Africa, probably not done much to deal with the income and power disparity

The whole "Constantinople's Christian, Istanbul's Muslim" thing that spread all over the Internet is dumb af and showcases just how ignorant of history these people are. First off, both these names are Greek in origin and were used long prior to the Ottomans' arrival. And second, if anything, Istanbul nowadays is associated with _secular_ Turkish nationalism. If Islamists were to turn Turkey into a full-blown theocracy, chances are they would indeed revert the name to Constantinople.

Since I am quite a bit older now I am becoming more and more interested in Rhodesia and how it was.

Yeah. They're actually asking ALL RHODESIAN WHITE FARMERS to COME BACK and they'll give them their old farms back because they NEED PRODUCTION again to bring back the economy. Many left africa and others went to Mozambique and have set up there quite well and have said "what is the point in coming back. We're not starting over again after how far we've got in Mozambique." So they can suffer the consequences. Many people don't realize but it was also all the black farm supervisors who were persecuted AS WELL. Not JUST the whites.

Okay, all the jokes and politics aside, can we just address the fact that she's just, grammatically incorrect? Just because it's called _Zimbabwe_ now, doesn't mean he comes from Zimbabwe... if it was Rhodesia when he was born, and it was Rhodesia when he left, he would still be from Rhodesia even if the country didn't exist anymore... just like if someone emigrated from the USSR, they would still be "from" the Soviet Union, even if the USSR itself doesn't exist anymore.

Actually, no. You are incorrect. If a place does not exist any longer, they cannot now be from it. They are from nowhere, technically speaking. You said you wanted to be technically correct, though you said it wrong by calling it "grammatically incorrect". It is not a grammatical issue, but a technical and political one. He would be from the "former Rhodesia", to be exactly correct in political terms. That is what those from the "former USSR" say. However, they just say they are from Russia or Georgia or whatever the country is presently called. Reality trumps technicality, and no I am not talking about the Trump. :-))))

The decolonization of Africa in the 60s and 70s led to a civil war between the white minority and black majority. Eventually, the white minority government conceded/lost and Robert Mugabe became the leader of the newly named Zimbabwe. So Rhodesia refers to the white minority colony and Zimbabwe refers to the independent country run by majority black.

You are not allowed to be a citizen of the world. I do also remember the official letter I received from the government of Zimbabwe, when I was 17 years of age. It said that I had to choose, to stay Zimbabwean or to be British, as a foreigner in the country of my birth. Given that choice, and because family circumstances allowed, I left Zimbabwe. At that time I was lucky enough to leave to make a new life in Britain. So today and for now I make the best I can of each day.
