Oh, welcome back to Behind the Bastards, a podcast that this is the part two of our series on Ian Smith, the prime minister of Rhodes, a country made by racists, for racists, and of of racists here to talk to me about racists

how are you doing becca romew so are you doing becca i love it i do feel like it is an area of

expertise i have as a one of color in america but you know what can you do what can you do i mean

these are these are like uh these are the racists like, trained a lot of the racists who came after.

Although they're still standing on the shoulders of great racists, like Cecil Rhodes and the Confederacy.

But, you know, if they could be more racist, it's only because they stood on the shoulders of racist giants.

They learned from the racist before them.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don't know.

I don't know how else to talk about Rhodesia.

Loving them, loving their brand of racism.

It actually does remind me of Puerto Rico a little bit.

Yeah.

Just in the way that they...

I'm like, how do I put this?

The colonial status of Rhodesia is kind of similar to, I feel, like, the way the United States utilize Puerto Rico, where they colonized Puerto Rico and then they called it in an unincorporated territory.

And then they're like, no, no, no, but it's not a colony, though.

And like, if you work really hard, you can maybe become a state.

And then, you know, it's never going to happen.

Denying Puerto Rico, any kind of like real autonomy is just the same as the like, well,

we don't want their votes to mean more than like our white votes.
