No-one ‘abandoned’ Rhodesia: they chose to become independant. More power to them.
But look what happened. The Rhodesians had Mugabe foisted onto them by America. Right in the middle of the cold war Rhodesia was forcibly converted into a murderous kleptomarxist state which even today starves and kills its own people. Not one of America’s greatest foreign policy coups.
But don’t let actual history interfere with your blinkered anti-British bigotry.
Britain was going to turn the government over to the blacks; with incredible foresight the Rhodesians saw the writing on the wall, and acted.
I’m sure they didn’t just wake up one day and think they could go it alone.
Britain’s history does enough damage itself; no bigotry is necessary.
Can you give more details please?
