So anyway, yeah racism

[Seventy_Yard_FG]

I think I left off telling TEW that even he would agree that you can't just vote to take away someone's right, and therefor the fact that they had a fair voting system in Rhodesia doesn't mean it was used fairly

Move to Rhodesia

Pretty sure the Eagles lost because of the Racism thread.  It’s the only explanation.

no, the russians tapped into it....

Rhodesia, if I’m not mistaken, was one of the most racist places on Earth.  Not sure if I’d get too excited about that as an example.

Wait, what happened? Man, I missed a lot.

Edit: Just saw the message

[Dave Moss]

I think Paul being civil to everyone is what lost us the game.  Paul, this week you’re gonna have to be meaner.  Maybe call Kz a bed-wetter or something.

It’s a relative question, isn’t it? Rhodesia was pretty similar to the US of the same time period — at least in the 60’s. It was less racist than South Africa and certainly less racist than the majority of non-white controlled countries of the time.

Segregation was common in urban areas and such, but suffrage was income based not race based. It’s a real shame Mugabe came along. They could have had a developed nation which certainly would have evolved its social practices without the African Nationalist and anti-colonial movements. Instead the whites were chased out and the nation starved.

Yes, a country named after Cecil Rhodes was for racial equality.  Smh...

For racial equality? No. But less racist than it’s neighbors (again, like South Africa) or most of the world at large? Certainly.

Who cares who it was named after? Rhodes helped to colonize it long before the nation was formed and gained independence. 

Look at the actual laws. Blacks were not disenfranchised. That’s just a legal fact of the country. Was it a racial utopia? Of course not. There were many policies that were racist, but no more so than some contemporary western countries.
