The Rhodesian Bush War.
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
Ian Smith was a good man, ultimately he wanted to incorporate the blacks into Rhodesian society, but it wasn’t going to happen overnight.
Everyone knew what was going to happen. Intellectuals are unnecessary. Perhaps a Captain Obvious.
Britain and the USA abandoned Rhodesia. The worst was the Carter administration, especially Andrew Young.
.......n 1979, Young played a leading role in advancing a settlement in Rhodesia with Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo, who had been two of the rebel leaders in the Rhodesian Bush War, which had ended in 1979. The settlement paved the way for Mugabe to take power as Prime Minister of the newly formed Republic of Zimbabwe......

We all know who happened under Mugabe. Tribal warfare, corruption, and massive starvation. But Carter, Young, and all the “do-gooders” got their black-majority rule “justice”. Phooey to them all!
Just honing their Backstabbing skills for use on UK and US Citizens.
Nope, it was Genghis Khan’s cavalry.
The Rhodesian Army had quite a lot of black troops.
The middle class blacks and the traditional tribal areas didn’t like the socialist/communists trying to take over. The Western press made it into a black white racist war, at least the coverage was slanted that way. It was nothing like South Africa. The legislature was moving to equitable representation. The British didn’t like the fact that Rhodesia was charting a path was not dictated by the Home Office.
They Lost and so did the people, black and white, in Rhodesia. Race hate killed them as it is now killing South Africa.
I couldn’t imagine leaving the country my parent and grandparents came from, and that I was born in. All I have to say to the Africans who want to legally immigrate to America. “ WELCOME, almost all our ancestors did it, and so can you”.
How does importing even more third world people help America?
The ones that will leave are the productive members who get tired of a government that just takes from them, their liberty, their wealth, their children. Hey as they said in Blazing Saddles, to paraphrase to avoid sensitivities, even the Irish can contribute.
What an idiotic thing to think, and even worse to say, you sound like one of the idiots that supported JFK’s anti-America immigration changed passed by his party in 1965 after his death.
We have your immigration policy now, and you like this modern America?
No we don’t, we just had 4 years of uncontrolled immigration by the Biden administration. American can absorb about 1.5 million skilled immigrants a year. I’m sure your family tree is impeccable with a lineage that goes back to the great migration at the end of the ice age. Mine were sold into servitude by the English crown as debtors after the brits took Scotland. They were indentured and served in Oglethorpe’s Regiment of Foot. Not from around here originally. Made it our home. Fought to hold it. Not everyone was conjured here by the great and powerful OZ.
You are still supporting mass immigration, and from the third world no less, just like we have had since 1965, incredible.
Last time I checked my math, 1,500,000 was less than 0.5% population growth. Hardly mass migration.
It is mass immigration of the most damaging immigration possible.
We need to end all immigration except for a few thousand administrative imports for scientists, defectors and minor cleanup of special cases.
It is hard to believe you support this immigration that destroyed us and makes us unable to ever recover.
