    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.

      I don't think the archaeologists realised the significance they just reported the facts.
      A lot of archaeology is becoming political now when it contradicts leftist narratives.
      Like the Early human remains (European) in the Americas that pre-date all the 'indians' that crossed the Bering straits from Asia much later.
      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.

      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.

    • @Thelionpaladin
      @Thelionpaladin 4 роки тому +82

      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

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.

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.

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.

    I remember meeting someone in the 1970’s who said his mother had 3 different nationalities in her life time, but didn’t even move from her village once, the national boundaries just moved. Talking of Zimbabweans there are loads of them living in the U.K. both of European and African origin, most of them I know are Africans, they just prefer to live in the UK for some reason, they must like the weather I guess.

      They miss actual roads and electricity access
      Probably education too. Or better food. It's safer. Oh idk, an actual police force that does its job or something. Like they aren't bandits in uniforms. Zimbabwe no longer has those things.

    Just happened upon this video. I had a friend from Zimbabwe. He never corrected me when I said he was from there. Didn't know it was so important to people from Rhodesia. The government took his large farm his family owned for generations. Made me quite angry thinking about how they did that to him and how he was essentially forced to leave the country and start over in the USA. Thankfully, he had some scientific training, so he made it to SA and then to the USA. I imagine, some are not so fortunate. Over his mantle, he had an old painting of his family's land in Rhodesia. How sad I was and still am for him.

      @@MalcolmM434 I imagine the people that are controlling the land now aren't using it as well as he and his family did. Zimbabwe is a failed state; a complete disaster. Angers me, almost as much as Venezuela angers me. What's next? Give the Native Americans land back to them? Insanity.

      The truth is that racism never goes away, no matter what country you take as an example. It's just that when it changes it's direction and actually starts to affect capable parts of the population - the economy goes under fast.
