A WHITE RHODESIAN'S APOLOGIES.
We white Rhodesians wish to make a confession. We confess our
sins against the black people of Zimbabwe ( and those of our
forefathers), which are outlined in detail below:-
1. We apologize for giving for giving them doctors, new hospitals,
medical services that enabled them to survive plagues, disasters
and to multiply into uncountable numbers.
2. We apologize for teaching them to read and write the English
language and even for putting their own languages down in writing
for them. We even taught them mathematics and built hundreds (if
not thousands) of schools for them even rebuilding and repairing
same when they were burnt down.
3. We apologize for building factories and shops, which gave them
work. We apologize for taking them into our houses to work, giving
them food and even paying them
4. We apologize for building farms out of barren bush and gardens
from which we fed them (and virtually the rest of Africa)
5. We apologize for giving them clothes and shoes instead of
leaving them in the animal skins they wore before we found them
wandering aimlessly around the plains, mountains and valleys.
6. We apologize for extracting minerals from below the earth,
minerals which had always been there but were unknown to the
local inhabitants. We apologize for paying them to work in these
mines.
7. We apologize for those among us who established charity
organizations to feed and clothe them, while they themselves never
knew the meaning of charity.
8. We apologize for building a network of roads all over the country
which they now use to give Africa one of the highest road accident rates
in the world.
9. We apologize for building huge dams which keep them supplied
with fresh water, even in times of drought.
10. We apologize for paying the lion's share of the countries tax
burden while spending the least upon ourselves.
For all these evil sins we most humble beg forgiveness, and if
they will only accept our apologies, we will gladly take back
all of the above mentioned evil deeds and leave them where we
found them.
For this post I forgive you for your very naughty promotion of the
"Oxford" scam run by Blair, Brown, Cook, et al. :-)
Unless this is a very clever "double scam", designed to re-establish
credibility along the lines being followed by Hague, you just cannot be
a Millbank Blairite.
In which case I got you wrong - and I apologise.
But supporting Blair in his "class war" against Oxford was very, very
naughty.
Unless of course.... It was certainly a very well attended thread.....
If you find time, perhaps you could Email me ?

I entirely agree with that, Lynn.
I was once a regular and generous subscriber to African aid charities.
They will not get a penny out of me now !
And I was at lunch today with another wealthy and well connected
person who (unlike the big mouthed lefties and commie slime who are
always telling us what we should and should not do - but never put
their hands in their pockets) has to my knowledge written some very
large cheques for Africa. His comment was "Not another penny -
and I don't know anybody else who will either !".
Like the commie scum who want us to surrender our country to their
Stalinsit bum chums in Europe - they may steal our property and piss
all over us for a time - but they will pay a very heavy price over a very
long time for doing so !
And they can't look to the EU or Blair to get their hands on our
money by the back door to salt away in a Swiss bank, either. That
scum are too busy lining their own pockets to ever hand any over to
Africa.
Your friend Blair is doing his best to stop ordinary Zimbabweans from
determining their own destiny. If Larry thinks colonisation brought wealth and
progress, he failed to apologise for the millions who died in the process and
explain that European colonisers were interested above all in profit.
Anglo-centric education and eurocentric religion served to spread their power.
They first destroyed a civilisation and then claimed they were freeing the
natives from primeval hell. Great Zimbabwe was an advanced civilsation long
before the white man ever set foot south of the Sahara.
Before reposting his colonialist crap, did Larry consider what Britain would be
like today if it had not colonised, exploited and depredated 1/4 of the earth's
land? Was that the Great Britain that forced the Chinese to consume opium or the
Indians to grow tea or Zimbabweans to grow tobacco?
Our great trading nation has evidently amassed its fortunes by exploiting other
people's wealth. Now it's time to compensate white farmers and let them decide
whether to help fellow Zimbabweans become self-sufficient in food or seek a new
life elsewhere.

And had flourished and then died, long before the presnt day inhabitants of

I think you'll find it was closer to two thirds rasther than a miserly
quarter.
Was that the Great Britain that forced the Chinese to consume opium,
we didn't force them to consume the opium, we stopped the pirates from
bringing it in and took on the trading ourselves to supply a much needed
drug.

Man cannot live by tea and tobacco alone, so we also encouraged them to grow
other crops as well.

Millions? A bit strong isn't it? The tribal Africans were making slaves of
each other way before the white man came. In Zimbabwe the Matebele enslaved
the Shona (Mugabes tribe). The Brits set them free.
Wealth may have been a factor in moving into these territories, but defence
was the principal motive in Zimbabwe as the Germans may have taken the
territory and threatened British territory to the south. Religion soon
followed which was not money motivated.

If you can call stone existing tribes that enslaved other tribes then that
is civilisation I suppose. Or is it?

Which they were.

No so. The ruins at Zimbabwe were build the Arabs. It was one of their
trading posts. There was NO great civilisation in Zimbabwe. As soon as the
Arabs left it fell right back into disuse.

Compensating white farmers was in the terms of the independence treaty.
Each time blacks took over they fell into disorder they were so poorly
managed. BTW, most of the blacks don't want the white farmers to leave.

No, but we can at least not try to deny the fact that this was not done with any
interest in the well being of those living where these deposits were being
collected.

They were not built by Arabs. There is no archeological evidence to support this
theory which was based on the prejudice of the initial discoverers.

******************************
Very wise and profound words.
And every word true-blue.
Thank you for writing them. And thank God you had the guts.
Let us now and in the future have no more of the bloody bullshine about
how we bled the Colonies white.
To quote only one example.
At the turn of the century British Army engineers using local labour
tapped the mighty Ganga near its source in the Himalaya and built
hundreds of miles of canals and made fecund thousands of square miles
of scrub desert. Nary a word of appreciation from anyone at all at any
time then or since
I have travelled most of the Grand Trunk Roads and the vast Railway
networks. - been in quite a few of the big Cities.
If we were bleeding the country dry where did the money come from to
build those vast and mighty enterprises.
Time for our traducers to shut their big daft gobs and every Brit to be
proud of himself and his forebears, who carried out mighty deeds.
And stop immediately the stupid cult of apologising , - now growing
rampant in this Country.
Doug.
******************************
Similar settlements were built to the north which were definitely Arab. It
follows on...
You haven't a clue! 100 yeas after the Romans came to Britain Romans had
farms, well a few. They did not like the climate so very few settled in
Britain.
The local Britons were not as primitive as the black African. In no way were
they that primitive.
No, it doesn't. The similar settlements were a long, long way to the north. It
is possible there were influences, but there is no doubt that the Arabs did not
build Great Zimbabwe. The whole place has been dug out. All the evidence of
black occupation was initially ignored and thrown out because the assumption was
that Arabs had built it and that was the interesting evidence to find. Then the
diggers reached the bottom: there was no Arab evidence beyond a few trade goods,
and plenty of black African occupation right from construction.
'Droid
True enough, although many of the Romans that stayed were actual local families
in the first place. Most of the permanent settelrs from the Roman Empire were
ex-military, often from the auxilaries.
> The local Britons were not as primitive as the black African. In no way were
> they that primitive.
In almost every way. And the respects in which Britons were more advanced,
learnt entirely from the Romans, were lost very rapidly. Indeed, up until about
the 16th century there was very little to tell between Europe and Africa
technologically.
'Droid
From a white Briton and European, whose father and grandfathers served for
decades to defend this country.
Just over 100 years ago whites invaded southern Africa bringing with them
disease and war. They introduced money, bringing the greed of the modern
world into a country that had existed, without the modern world's perceived
need to make a profit at all cost, including the destruction of
communities -
this was brought by the white settler.
Yes, the Rhodesians brought doctors - they had to so that they could treat
the diseases that the settlers brought with
them; diseases unknown to the local populace who were decimated.
Yes, the Rhodesians brought education and schools - teaching the native
inhabitants
how to serve the white man in the way that massa wanted.
Yes, the Rhodesians brought with them jobs and factories; you graciously
allowed them to come and work for you
on the lands that you had occupied, or in the factories that raped the
natural resources of southern Africa.
Yes, the Rhodesians brought with them clothes and shoes; you trained them to
dress as you dressed, because that was what
was acceptable to the stilted 19th Century Morality that was endemic in the
white settlers- you taught them that if they wanted
the scraps from massa's table they had to act in this way; and where else
could they go? Whitre settlers armed with modern
weapons of war now occupied their traditional lands.
Yes, the Rhodesians brought the idea of charity. You wander why you were
not offered charity by the natives; is a man
who comes onto your land with a gun and sets up home greeted with open arms?
Furthermore, the need for charity in the
wetsern sense did not exist before the White man came- it was made necessary
by the fact that the Rhodesians had
consumed the resources that the natives needed to survive - what was given
back in charity by white organisations was a
very small amount of what should have been the native inhabitant's by right.
Yes you gave them transport systems and dams - to allow you to transport
goods back to the economic centres in which the
Whites were the hegemonic power. You dammmed rivers, draining water from
traditional routes; they had to come to you for
water because you now held the monopoly on it.
Yes you paid the lions share of the country's tax burden - you were the only
ones with the money to do so.
Yes you spent it on the original inhabitants - giving back some of what you
had taken from them in the previous years.
You're damn right you should apologise.
To 'Doug'
Maybe you should check your facts as well.
If you would for a minute examine the history of UDI, the rebels were the
white settlers, who, when threatened with a loss of
hegemonic power to the black native majority, declared their independance
FROM THE BRITISH CROWN. Furthermore,
let us for a minute some of the 'great deeds' that make up the history of
the country called 'great' britain.
1) The subjugation and subsequent oppression of the free peoples of Scotland
and Wales from c. 1300 onwards.
2) The invasion of Ireland and the oppression and slaughter of its people in
the name of religion, but to increase the power
of the English crown. This oppression continues to the present day, and
in it lie the seeds of the deaths of thousands of people,
both Irish and British.
3) The opium wars - a uniquely enterprising form of capitalism. Forcing
people to harvest a narcotic, then selling that same narcotic
back to them and vastly inflated prices, to the point that they are
willing to go to war with their neighbours - so you can then
supply them with arms as well.
4) The first world war - despite the short memories of a vast majority of
people in Britain, it was not merely fought to save Britain
from invasion at the hands of tne vile Hun, but at least in part to
preserve Britains trading power, empire and European interests.
This does not take away from those who fought in that war - they only
did as they were told - the guilt lies with the leaders who
daily sent them to their deaths.
5) The second world war. Britain first failed to protect Germany and the
other defeated countries from ridiculously harsh treatment
under the Paris Peace Settlements, encouraging by default the rise in
extremism in Central & Eastern Europe. Britain then failed to
out the role that she had given herself , by failing, along with her
erstwhile allies to prevent, indeed in some cases being complicit
in the National Socialist march to mastery of Europe.
6) The cold war. Britain's actions against Russia after the socialist
revolution of 1917, in terms of sending troops to fight for the
restoration of the Tsar, helped, along with her allies, to create a
siege mentality among the new Russian regime that was a root
cause of the fascist paranoia that would mark the later Stalinist era.
Furthermore, in doing so, she subjected the Russian people
to decades of oppression and inequality, and effectively cost the world,
again along with her allies, billions upon billions of dollars
each year.
7) The slave trade's 'Golden triangle' (look it up in any GCSE history
book).
Hope this has been of some educational value

What makes you think that there is any hope for Zimbabwe once the white
settlers, who create almost all the wealth in that country at the
present time, are thrown out? After all, the only black African
countries that have done reasonably well in the last half century or so
have been the ones which continued to be controlled by a white elite. I
refer specifically to South Africa and Zimbabwe. The other black
African countries appear to be worse off than they were 50 years ago
before the British left them to it. Let's face it, the white man in
Africa did, and is still doing, an enormous amount for the blacks, what
with mines, farms, roads, railways, and the rest of the infrastructure
that you need in order to make a developed society, but unfortunately
the blacks could not keep it up because they simply do not have enough
people with the necessary level of intelligence. They are not capable.
And now we are having to send them charity - they are still relying on
the kindness of the white man.
On the other hand, the blacks that have come to our shores have shown
that they are, frankly, surplus to requirements, what with their
leading position in those league tables that indicate a clear failure
to adopt to a modern, civilised society. I refer specifically to things
like crime, drugs, violence (especially against whites), unemployment,
lack of educational attainment, illegitemacy, welfare dependency, and
even rates of AIDS infection.
So your post is the complete reverse of the truth. Black people have
benefited enormously from being around whites, but white people are
beginning to see their civil society crumble and institutions decay
owing to the presence of blacks. I am all for helping those blacks that
live in Africa, but allowing so many to settle here was a catastrophe.
That WAS an intellectual post from Larry.

No he didn't say that at all. They had their own deseases and the white man
brought a whole new set that their immune systems had no defense for. The
common cold, syphalis, etc. We got Malaria in return! They also already
fought tribal wars amongst themselves.

He clearly doesn't think it did all good inflicting it on Africa. I would
prefer a largely cashless society but it's a long way off but we do need a
meium of exchange. The trick is to find one that the government can't tax.
The money society hasn't been all good and the debt that Africa is in means
that they are workig to feed the bankers (cockney rhyming) in the already
rich West, who throw peanuts in the form of aid to help them repay the
bankers. Ask yourself if this is good for them now?

You assume they wanted it, what arrogance! IT was always done on the
invaders terms, not to benefit the individual but as an investment. The
opportunity was not the same as for the educated white man at all. Why do
you have a problem with history? It's certainly not all bad that aspects of
Western culture are in Africa but it's not all been good either. Remember
the Cold War when Africa was used as a fighting ground by the USA and USSR?

So the places are viable? Has it not occurred to you why they aren't now?
Instead of trying to say the blacks are less capable why not look at the
levels of education when colonial powers left. Those educated were only done
so for menial tasks and there were only a tiny number of well educated
people, no experience of management of companies, the state aparatus, etc.
Unfortunately the colonials were forced out too quickly by those wnating
their countries back. Britain was better than other colonial countries but
they still left piss poor education levels and structures with too few
knowledgable people to run them. Give a mine to people less literate than a
class of primary school children and what would you expect? You can't blame
the people for not being educated when left in charge. The whole
decolonialisation was an utter disaster for both European and Africans.

No what is needed is co-operation to make best of a very botched job. Start
by removing all 3rd world debts so that what the people earn they keep. Give
aid in the form of technical assistance so they can avoid the polluting
industrial phase that could finish off the planet. Let them see the West as
helpers not economic colonials.
geez, you'd think that white people didn't commit crime "like rape,
murder, violence (especially against people), burglary, child-abuse,
auto-crimes, mugging etc....... get my point?
"unemployment" - like it's a black thing?

Perhaps an extreme example of what you're talking about, in which Britain
bears no responsibility whatever, is Haiti. I'm not sure how much blame
accrues to the USA in the circumstances of that unhappy land. On the basis
of no real evidence whatevr, I think that the Clinton administration's
policy
of backing the extreme Leveling tendency of Fr. Aristide's Lavalas party has
tended to suppress any advances the local 'cafe au lait' leadership may have
been able to make.

Right on! Maybe Martin's poiint is that the untrained skill of Britain's
Africa-descended population has eclipsed the trained attempts of the
native underclass at the same sort of thing.

In addition to the isolation imposed by the white empires when Haiti rebelled.
They were alarmed that such ideas of freedom might spread.

No it is not a Black thing, but it is proportionatley increased due to the
unnecessary addition of black immigrants.

Generally speaking YES!, Next come Chinese, followed closely by Hindu and
Sikh students, then there is a gap which is followed by the Moslem students,
way down the line, despite assertive education, comes the Black student.

Obviously the white group, why?, because they have the greatest number of
possible people, however when described as a percentage of the total
population, then the black numbers are way out of proportion to their
numbers.

Education seems to be your big failing, your spelling is lousy, your
comprehemsion abysmal.
Many Africans were educated at Cambridge and Oxford and other universities
throughout the world, the hope being that they would return to their
homelands with the knowledge and expertise necessary to lift their countries
educational standards, by and large it failed as the newly educated Africans
started Political activism which has led in the main to their being elected
to positions of power within their own countries, from which they have
milked their respective countries economies to their own personal benefit.

It won't work, the Politicians will simply continue to milk the wages earned
for their own benefit.

Yes, that I've had one and don't see things as black and white?
so then really it's a crap argument..

It would then follow that it would be increased higher due to the
addition
of a higher number of white immigrants. Yet strangely the previous
poster
only mentioned black people....

ISTR seeing figures that conflict with this - in higher education anyway
-
haven't got them to hand so could be wrong.

So again not the basis of a good argument and again no mention
of white immigrants.

Actually, generally speaking Asian students tend to do best, followed by the
whites.

Two points concerning educational attainment.
These days, a person can be below average IQ and still easily get a
degree in "Business Studies" or some such at Such-and-Such University,
(which used to be a polytechnic). But these qualifications are not
exactly cherished by employers. There are plenty of ethnic minority
mini-cabbers and shelf fillers with university degrees.
You are quite correct, many whites have low aspirations and they (and
their parents) shortchange themselves when it comes to getting even
those qualifications which are worth the paper they are written on,
(like GCSE's). So young white people are often the least qualified when
they leave school. Were it to be another ethnic group disadvantaged in
this way, then there would be a brouhaha about "racism" keeping them
down, but because it is ethnics doing better than whites, liberals
celebrate. It seems to me that many liberals have a problem with black
failure, and hope that whites will catch them up!

Yeah the Brits have all gone queer - too much lovy-dovy touchy-feely
socialism. The brutes are on the dole. Their betters loll in
smarmy guilt. Ugh

The Moon
The Moon is feminine - you are quite right
She's looking just so cool and beautiful tonight.
You look quite hard, you see the knowing spirit;
The glowing spirit
A thing quite cold and sharp; but righteous:
A clean and pure embodiment of light.
The Moon is asking us to be
With Her:
She's lonely, and she hopes to have a mate
She watches, and she sorrows; and she waits.
Where are those valiant spirits?
Where are are those gentle Men?
The Questers and the Seekers:
The searchers for the truth?
Where are the Men of yesteryear: -
Those knights in shining armour;
Those emissaries of light
The crisp and clear and shining dance
Of horses white?
The moon is waiting patiently for us
She's waited now for o so very long
She lives the now - and she is waiting still
Let's seperate ourselves from ourselves
And go to the moon.
