Rhodes’ was a cultural rather than biological definition, and a starting point for actions supportive of native populations, as he clarified in a speech of 1894, stating “Now, I say the natives are children. They are just emerging from barbarism. They have human minds . . . We ought to do something for the minds and the brains that the Almighty has given them. I do not believe that they are different from ourselves” [5] Historian Richard A. McFarlane has described Rhodes “as integral a participant in southern African and British imperial history as George Washington or Abraham Lincoln are in their respective eras in United States history.”[6]
I wonder what he would say if he saw the looting, murder and carnage of today.
