you pathetic little man! and like all other journos you only showed part of the video. he went on to explain how "black majority rule" as stated by the likes of mugabe was just a cover for marxist terrorism, and he wanted a country based on merit. Rhodesia gave far more opportunities to its blacks than your Australia does to aboriginals today - and I know because I've lived in Australia. Not even funny, you pathetic, small little man.
@paulmcc80 Grow a set retard. Its weak idiots like you that give racism its weight.
THIS ISNT REAL NEWS. It is a satire comedy sketch. But if you weren't so intent on being offended by the slightest hint against your own BS views, you "might" have realized that. I doubt your capable of it though, but its possible.
@paulmcc80 Your an idiot, barely capable of even meagre understanding of what your commenting on. Say something worth my time to read, or shut the fuck up.
Keep working on that punctuation. And again, don't comment on a country you know nothing about. You come across as a typical "small man behind the computer" - big mouth, little man.
@paulmcc80 I would say the same of you. Big mouth, little man, made worse by some delusion that your above the rest of the peons that litter the internet
And by the way, minute grammar burps are not a conversational crutch to alleviate "your" lack of a point. You have no idea what I may or may not know about any given subject, and so you come across as the kind of stereotyped cretin you seem to believe you're somehow distinct from in some imaginary way
Listen to that prick. He obviously didn't live in Rhodesia during the bush war when the economy still grew, and the utter destruction of the nation under Mugabe.
Macalef is not a talented comedian! Making callous jokes at the expense of a man who just died. What would that fuckhead know?....It's people like him that made Zimbabwe what it is today! The world doesn't need starrey-eyed smartarses like him. Smith wasn't racist, pigheaded, indecisive or any of those nasty things Macalef accuses him of! Go to hell Macalef!
This newscaster is full of it, Smith was neither a racist, nor an "uncompromising believer in White Minority Rule" he believed in responsible majority and in cooperation with the White Minority. Look up "Ian Smith- A Bit of a Rebel Interview" and get the real truth.
I agree UShistoryX2. It's funny how people can take the first line of one sentence and turn it around to suit themselves. Must of been the founders of zanu-pf.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Venezuela government show our 100% solidarity with brother Roberto Mugabe. Here we impose the same land reform ploitic: latifundio CERO. The Bolivarian Stalnist revolusion will take all private property and all land and redistruibute to poor. We full oppose the international campaign against democrat President Mugabe!!! Iron fist against capitalism!!!
"The story is always the same: violence and massacres, political opponents imprisoned, streams of refugees, rampant corruption and the establishment of external bank accounts by their leaders" - from memoirs of Ian Smith, last PM of Rhodesia.
So what the reporter is saying is that MUGABE is racist, incapble of ruling a country, is pigheaded, shortsighted, etc. Sorry you guys didn't get it; the Rhodies have been through so much, they have probably lost their sense of humor re: the irony that Mugabe is worse than Smith ever was, but I do admire their loyalty, and hope the brave who stayed remain safe from harm, and the hopes and aspirations of the emigres are fulfilled and they are able one day to repatriate to their beloved homeland.
Yea whatever - that's the type of reply u shld expect when u show some arb vid though, as we get this sort of crap thrown at us all the time without it meaning to be sarcastic.
May be we can have that right given our situation.
At first I was offended by some humor from Australia about us. But now I understand it better and I am sure Aussies do not intend offense to us. Some of it is very funny in fact, but some misses the mark by a large margin. Humor is like that. It is not always funny to every one all of the time.
If we see this video in the same context as my other NewsTopia uploads, then the humor is more obvious.
Thanks for the explanation, but I don't need a definition of what arbitrary means, just a definition for your arbitrary (certainly not standard) abbreviation.

Ian Smith was not racist. He was just a educated white African. Africa is Africa. Africa is not America it is not Europe, it is the jungle.

Ian Smith was not a racist,but a visionary.
He foresaw the advent of youtube and was merely pre-trolling you all.

arb is short for arbitrary - groundless, irrational, unjustified, personal choice rather than reason.
