Now as you can see, the timeline ends in 1980, when Zimbabwe became independent of the United Kingdom.

This is because in 1964, the Queen of England, Elizabeth, decided to reject the (self-governing) Colony of Southern Rhodesia, where 500,000 whites lived alongside about 600,000 civilized blacks and 6,000,000 uncivilized africans, in a little part of the world that had the best standard of living in all of Africa, INCLUDING better than the ZAR to the south, which was still under apartheid at the time and essentially a first-world country.

Rhodesia was locked in a war with Soviet and Chinese-backed communist guerillas(dirty fucking terrs) split into two camps: Russian-backed ZAPU and Chinese/Korean backed ZANU.

The US, UK, And UN all called for the end of the 'Racist' minority rule in Rhodesia, when in reality there was very little racism, in fact 80% of the defense forces were black(mainly Matabele) and the only reason whites were over represented in the voting rolls is because the system was ONE TAXPAYER - ONE VOTE, meaning that since so few natives actually paid taxes, few of them could vote.

TL;DR the west forced Rhodesia to negotiate after years of sanctions which led to the communist terrorists to take power, who then ran the country into the ground.

It's a genuine shame what happened.

>He's white and from a middle class/rich family.
an immigrant from south africa is white and can afford to leave, fucking shocker.

We already got kicked out of one country, at least singapore actually wants whites there - plus seeing pic related at your gate every day isn't exactly reason to stay put.
