Genocided over 70 million Africans!
Bruh I don't understand a bit😅
too-greedy/had-the-diamonds&gold!should-have-left-&enjoyed-life!
Undoubtedly a great man. To judge him by today's norms and standards is a mistake commonly made
I would be embarrassed to associate myself with this man Cecil Rhodes. How can anyone be proud of what he did to the indigenous people of South Africa? He was greedy and stole the land from the Zimbabwe/black South Africans. Most of the whites in South Africa today live very well, and the majority of the blacks there live in squalor. Cecil Rhodes also murder thousands of indigenous Africans to acquire wealth and land for himself, and the white people. He had no respect for the Zimbabwe/indigenous Africans. He helped create the system of apartheid, and the situation the black South Africans are in today. Also, racism is still very noticeable in South Africa today. The Shanty Towns in South Africa are monuments of Cecil Rhodes's greed he instilled, into the white South Africans. He cared nothing about the black South Africans, his legacy of evil still shows today in that region. Horrible things were done to the indigenous people for the Europeans to acquire the land. This man is no hero of the black South Africans. How can anyone be proud of killing, taking, and colonizing land that is not theirs? How could he have had respect for the indigenous people when he took their land and left them impoverished.
Rhodes was a pragmatist. He thought his tribe would have the best chance of succeeding thereby making the country better off than leaving it the way it was. He did very well financially out of it but I think you will find that most so called missionaries of the time did as well. The old joke was that they came to do good and did bloody well.
Mark twain every time he talks about anything political is a complete asshat
Hopefully we get more people like Rhodes in all world governments. It is pathetic people want to tear his statue down and our ancestors weep with how pathetic we have become
Rhodes wanted to expand the British Empire because he believed that the Anglo-Saxon race was destined to greatness.[10] In what he described as "a draft of some of my ideas" written in 1877 while a student at Oxford, Rhodes said of the English, "I contend that we are the first race in the world, and that the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for the human race. I contend that every acre added to our territory means the birth of more of the English race who otherwise would not be brought into existence."[57] Rhodes bemoaned that there was little land left to conquer and said "to think of these stars that you see overhead at night, these vast worlds which we can never reach. I would annex the planets if I could; I often think of that. It makes me sad to see them so clear and yet so far".[58]
Furthermore Rhodes saw imperialism as a way to alleviate domestic social problems – "In order to save the 40,000,000 inhabitants of the United Kingdom from a bloody civil war, we colonial statesmen must acquire new lands to settle the surplus population, to provide new markets for the goods produced in the factories and mines. The Empire, as I have always said, is a bread and butter question. If you want to avoid civil war, you must become imperialists".[59]
I do not know much about Cecil Rhodes but I do know staying in Rhodesia for 8 years was beautiful. ❤
Cecil Rhodes was a great businessman, but his rise came at the cost of the blood of Africans.Respecting the suffering of another human being is the ultimate manifestation of civility.But judging by the comments, many Caucasians continue to despise the lives of the victims of the system of oppression that has taken over Kimberly.
This is one of the greatest man ever. South Africa and Rhodhesia ( Zimbabwe) are what they are today coz of him. Apparently our fellow black comrades like Ramaphosa and Mugabe destroyed what he built
I grew up in Rhodesia and went to School at REPS. Rhodes Estate Prep School in Bulawayo outskirts. His portrait hung in the dining hall. He was considered a hero to us all to be emulated and admired. I still have great admiration for his accomplishments warts and all. He was a man of an age when Britain pretty much ruled the world. How could he not be a colonial visionary. Africa seems to be very much poorer today due primarily to it's loss of a cohesive, collective vision for the continent and ruled by "fools on horseback while princes go on foot".
A dishonest greedy oligarch. A very good documentary though! Thank you 🙂
Rhodes came and stole. He stole from Africa, he stole from the people, he stole from business partners, but he also stole what belonged to God. I see him as an incarnation of the Antichrist. Period.
An evil man. May he rot in hell.
Great man! Africa should be grateful to him!
I went to school and grew up near Bishops Stortford,,where there is the Rhodes Centre,,also an old Malttings beside the river Stort..
The town is named ,for where a Bishop forded the RiverStort and built a place called Palace West ,,5miles from there.i believe cera Henry v111 .
He was a oppresser to black people too
Rhodesia was a chance for all Africa. But communists have sell their sweet lie, and how is it now in Zimbabwe?
Great documentary and as a black Zimbabwean,I’m so thankful and glade that Mugabe fought to give us back our land.
rhodes ,considering his time and different people he was balanced minded man
This is one of the most educative and knowledgeable history videos. It provides alot of history that guides us where we are today. Thank you and good job to the orator👏👏👏👏👏
"By the end of the 19th century The Rhodes were in receipt of rents from 160 properties"….. 3 mins later…. "His bad health and the comparatively limited resources of the household resulted in the decision not to send Cecil to public school!" Blimey, did the old man blow the lot on crack and hookers?
Rhodes was picked by the Rothschilds to oversee the colonisation of Africa.
If we had not been colonised southern Africa would today be a network of criss-crossing footpaths
He was a parasirte, like all other imperialists, colonialist and settler-colonialists.
He was an African, no less.
Simple answer to Africa difficulty’s like “colonialism is totally to blame” ignores the facts and only serves to stifle Africa’s potential.
Without the humanist darwinist garbage he might have been a decent man, but as he grew older his heart became perverted by the delusionally evil culture of his time, which still haunts us today
you call it imperialism…i call it opportunity
His form of racism was the norm at that time. It was the British version of American Exceptionalism which Teddy Roosevelt and many others pursued. Two parts of this documentary stick out. The mention of concentration camps, which were a crime against humanity. And the Afrikaans "extermination" attitude to the locals. Rhodes must have known and allowed the wicked death rates in the concentration camps. That alone condemns him. However, the Afrikaans "extermination" attitude was terrifying and we saw what happened with concentration camps and extermination during WW2. Horrendous.
Not much mention of the concentration camps the British put the Boer women and children in after burning down their farms…
That’s how the 2nd Anglo-Boer war was won….
To take ownership of the diamonds and gold.
The British empire was renamed the Commonwealth.
Rhodes was the architect of apartheid indeed. Funded by the Rotschilds.
His secret society lived on through Milners Group and became the Council of Foreign Relations.
Cecil Rhodes was a perpetrator of genocide, who was responsible for the displacement of millions of African people for the benefit of white settlers. He was instrumental in the enslavement of millions of African people on their own land.
Just pure colonialism. The entitlement & arrogance of it all is mind blowing.
Well, South Africa, now that apartheid has ended, is practically a Failed State. A literal shithole.
Narrator sounds like a bot
I believe it all boils down to our motivation. We could all do the most philanthropic and kind and good things but what is the motivation? He wished to extend British Imperialism at all costs, siding with whom ever, destroying whom ever let it be Khoi-San, Xhosa, Zulu, Ndebele and even Afrikaners. Why? So that the Anglo-Saxons can rule Africa and be the supreme race! We don't have to worship him for the infrastructure he built. It was going to happen anyway, it was the dawn of the modern age. Imagine where South Africa would be if he did not personally take away the right for non-whites to vote? Who knows? Maybe Mandela would have been President rather than go to Robben Island. Maybe it would be normal for a majority black population to vote in a white President. Maybe.
Absolutely fascinating. Excellent.
Certainly the most developed country in Africa when I lived there (1976-80). Everything working, everything properly maintained, excellent roads and a 50% Discount in 5 * Hotels (forces reduction), Rh$ 7,50 at Meikles or Monomatapa
The fact they xame out for rhodes funeral is trlling, and that he made deals with blacks but kept seperate and witj respect, shows hes right up therr. Building industty to enricj all seems to work, apart from eec who seemed to shit on everyone
one of the biggest S.O.B's in modern history a true example of sick British exeptionalism, would not think twice about double crossing his allies….NEVER EVER TRUST THE BRITISH EVER !!!
Rothschild financed Rhodes to go and plunder all the diamond and gold mines in South Africa to finance the expansion and preservation of the British Empire. Rhodes had 5 previous wills from his vast fortune of wealth (see WT Stead: The final will and last testament of Cecil Rhodes ) Rhodes’s executor and best friend. One of wills is known to everyone which is the Rhodes Scholarship the 4 other wills was put aside for the formation of a secret society. In this secret society Rhodes was to be leader, Alfred Milner, WT. Stead (executor) and Brett (Lord Esher) this circle was known as (The society of the elect) an outer circle was called (The Circle of potential initiates) Sir Harry Johnston, Lord Lionel Rothschild, Arthur Balfour and Albert Lord Grey. Surrounding these circles were the (associate of helpers) where Milner recruited young men from the top educations of society. When Rhodes died the organisation fell under the control of Alfred Milner where he called the associate of helpers (Milners Kindergarten) the secret society had no given name as the men intimately knew each other but was known as the Round Table Organisation, Rhodes Group, Milner Group, All Souls or the Cliveden Set at Lord Astors mansion. This secret society exists today and has continued to exist since ww1, from this organisation think tanks know as the Royal institute of international affairs and the council on foreign relations sprang resulting a shift in vision from a British empire to a New World Order as we know it today ran from the United Nations as the front organisation.
this guy was such a good british bitch! BAHAHahahsa
Speaking as a native Zimbabwean, Rhodes was an exploiter driven by greed and unhealthy ambition.
The natives were left impoverished as he banished them from the mineral rich fertile farmlands into so called infertile barren communal lands
