I lived in Rhodesia for four years. Rhodesia at that time was actually more liberal than South Africa. We heard propaganda all the time like this, lamenting how the West should back South Africa, i.e. meaning white south african monopoly on the country. They wanted us to send troops to defend "Western civilization". I pointed out that if we sent troops, that 30-40% of the US Army are African Americans. If they tried to treat a US soldier like they treated their own Kaffirs, they'd be dead.
