Proud To Be Rhodesian

I will be Rhodesian till my dieing day and try to be the best Rhodesian I can be . Sadly people see it as a weakness to be taken advantage of as we are friendly generous helpful people who will always help in any way we can .
This has happened to me to many times and since leaving my beautiful home life has not been kind . I really tried to live the best life I could and had kids I will always love . Sadly I have to failed marriages neither I can truly say was not my fault . Been taken advantage of many times and had my good name dragged through the mud once to often . I will always be proud of my Rhodesian heritage but sadly will never help or trust anyone again and will probably be single till my dieing day . Its a sad world when you have to shut yourself off from the world for your own sanity but that is what I have decided to do . So I will still be on SW but no more getting to know anyone near where I live or having close friends . That way no one can hurt me again .

Being Rhodesian isn’t much to boast about. It’s a good thing it will die when it’s last generation does. A place and time best forgotten.

@guerrilla Only someone who believed all the propaganda fed to them would make a stupid comment like that .
@Rhode57 White minority rule, the principle Rhodesian was built on was propaganda?

@guerrilla It wasnt the white majority rule that was the problem . Ian Smith who was a great man already had a black deputy priminister who he was getting ready to take over from him . However britain wanted a full black government there and then . When mugabe took over the black deputy fled for his life . Our white government were trying to ease blacks into government to stop what he warned would happen from happening . All his warnings came to frution sadly . No one outside Rhodesia knew the truth of what was really happening . 1000s of blacks fled to south africa , zambia and neighbouring countries in fear for their lives . Many fought for Rhodesia and didnt want a black government for all the reasons that happened . Yes there was a minority of racists as in every country . You shouldnt believe everything your told . I knew Ian Smith and Bishop Muzarewa . The Bishop would have made a great priminister sadly he never got the chance thanks to the uk sticking their nose where it wasnt wanted .
@Rhode57 I didn’t expect you would have a problem with white minority rule.
You can’t really blame Mugabe for everything when you spent 20 years fighting Nkomo.
And 1000 people, from a population of 14 million? Wow

@guerrilla Really jeez do your fucking homework . Where do you get this shit . Oh wait dont tell me tv .

@guerrilla Well that explains everything . Ignorance in spades .
@Rhode57 I wouldn’t expect you to agree. It’s fine. Your racist country, it’s people, it’s symbols, will be be forgotten forever in a few decades.

@guerrilla It never will but sadly zimbabwe will forever be like its name sake while its full of ignorant people all the brains left so all Zimbabwe was left with were the idiots . Dont worry the chinese will bleed you dry and leave you in a worse mess if thats possible . No one with any sense will touch Zimbabwe as long as its got a ignorant corrupt government hell bent on destroying it . Not that they can do much more damage than has already been done . It hasnt even got its own currency anymore . I actually feel sorry for the people there , their all destitute and its government couldnt care less.
@Rhode57 They’ll find their own way. At least they have a future.

@guerrilla Wow you really are ignorant . The only future they have the way their going is back to the stone age .
@Rhode57 Perhaps. But your country dies with you. For all time.
Rhode57 · 56-60, M
@guerrilla No it doesnt my kids and all other Rhodesians of the world who had kids including the clever blacks that got out will keep its memory alive and as long as thats the case it will never die .
@Rhode57 And the white supremacists shooting you churches, because that’s the example you set.
