For those that aren't really interested in history, here a small explanaition.
Rhodesia: Today's zimbabwe. It was a british colony in south africa. When the decolonization in the 60s happend, the white minority felt it would be discriminated and bad off in a majoroty black rule state. Some of the black intellegenzia also didn't want a majority rule Rhodesia as most black people weren't educated and experience enough to rule in the goverment. Then there were those who wanted black majority rules: The communist groups of ZANU and ZAPU (Zimbabwe african national union and Zimbabwe african peoples union).
The white minority (inclouding with some blacks) decleared a UDI (Unilateral Declaration of Independence ) from britian. ZANU and ZAPU took up arms before, attacking white owned farms and killing the white owners (and black workers).
This was beginning of the Rhodesian bush war. In a nutshell, Rhodesia won the battle but not the war. Aka every battle in the war saw high ZANU/ZAPU casualties and low Rhodesian one. Rhodesia was sancrtioned by everybody (excluding south africa). It hold strong.
There were many massacres commited on both sides, but ZANU and ZAPU massacres were more senseless and brutal. BLack guerilla forces entered villages, where mostly black people lived, and massacred all of the villagers. Even tho they have the same fucking skin colour, the villagers worked for the white minority on farms and thats why they were targeted. But Rhodsia isn't really innocent either as it pursuit a chemical weapons program and was ruthless in its anti-terror operations.
The war went on from the late 60s till 1979. Ian Smith (Rhodesian President) and Robert Mugabe (ZANU Leader) made treaties. Rhodesia was named Rhodesia-Zimbabwe and then just Zimbabwe after a short civil war between the blacks. Many white farm owners left Rhodesia or were made to leave after MANY WARS in Zimbabwe and Robert Mugabe created a brutal dictatorial regime.
Whoever wants to know how badly Zimbabwe is run today can watch countless of videos on Youtube, i don't wanna explain everything what happend. Just that you know, under Mugabe, zimbabwe was fucked with ethic violence, crime, inflation and poverty. It's that bad that many old black Zimbabweans told that under Rhodesias white goverment, the times were better.
There were also many blacks in the Rhodesian army. White officers, black Soldiers basically. Rhodesia survived the toughest times and now it's remembered positivly.
Apartheid South Afica: Aftet the independence of the british colony of SA, the white goverment imposed apartheid laws that forbid any race mixing between whies-blacks-indians/asians-coloured people in SA. It had strict jim-crow like laws (segregated bathrooms, restaurants, etc.)
Whoever wants to read or listen about Apartheid south africa, i'll recommend to you 2 really good websites: Google and Youtube.
I'll skip over a lot now (it's 1am and im tired)
In the 90s, Nelson Mandela was released from prison. The white goverment asked the white population in SA if they wanted equal rights fro blacks-coloured-indians/asians. The vote was a clear YES. There were many white men that have gone to prison because of fucking some asian and black women (most famous is Breyten Breytenbach , imprisomed for fuckimg a half-vietnamese and marrying her (breaking 2 laws: The Mixed Marriages Act of 1949 and the Immorality Act (1950) ) and writing a book called "The True Confessions of an Albino Terrorist.")
After Mandela took power, the future was bright, untill he retired and his ANC collegues (The African National Congress is the party Mandela was the leader off) took office and everything went to shit! The ANC got more and more corrput over time. Many parts of the goverment went to shit as incompetent corrupt fuckheads run the country. Ask any South african, white or balck and they'll tell you that everything went to shit.
Some problems facing South africa today:
- Low shedding: Planned power outages bc the offical state run energy-company ESKOM can't produce enough electricity. Impcats eversy aspect of moderne life.
- High poverty and inequality: High crime rate in cities. High poverty among mostly black people.
- Corruption
- Race-violene: Who wants more info, google farm murders. TL;DR many black people that vote for the ANC are racist and there were many racist motivated murderes on white farmers. The ANC even sings openly racist songs that are against the boers (those europeans from dutch decent that came in SA back in thr 1680s.
- Bad economy: With all these factors, of course the economy is getting more fucked than a black chick on a mostly white college.
TL;DR
Whats your opinion on these White-run sometimes racist countries?
