“This continent is powerful and wealthy and has astounding potential,” Gurira
And it is a potential she has witnessed swelling — and diminishing — firsthand in recent decades. Gurira’s home nation of Zimbabwe was far from the real-life Wakanda of Africa during her early life there in the 1980s and ’90s, but the resource-rich southern African nation once represented the promise of that continent. Until, that is, it endured a social and economic free fall that set Gurira and millions of others adrift and on a long-term quest to reclaim their homeland’s greatness.
Zimbabwe’s longtime dictator, Robert Mugabe, once said that he would rule the southern African nation until “God says come.” Last November, however, it was not the hand of death but his own hand (following a military coup) that finally deposed the autocrat after 37 years of rule. Like another post-apartheid leader, Nelson Mandela, Mugabe was a political prisoner who helped liberate his people from white colonial rule. After Zimbabwe gained independence from Great Britain in 1980, he endorsed racial reconciliation and was even nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.
At the time Zimbabwe held enormous promise: It had paved roads, airports and a strong education system, not to mention rich soil that helped make it the “breadbasket” of the continent. Mugabe himself recognized that he helmed the “jewel of Africa.”
>we wuz the wakandans'n shet The funny thing is, Zimbabwe achieved any sort of civilization, no cities, and still using sticks when the Romans used innovative strategies with what little they had, as well as the use of catapults and what was advanced tech for the time.
Also, we wuz carthage incoming?
Gabriel Ward
So Wakanda can only be achieved through White colonization? Gotcha.

You dont say.

This is the last straw, they will no longer Tarnish Rhodesia's name.

Exactly. Even if Vibranium was real and an African country was sitting right on top of a huge reserve of it the only people who would benefit from it would be the colonials since nogs can't mine for shit.
Hunter Collins
>Oh how oppressive the whites were! Fuck off, Rhodesians made their living on their own while simply trying to keep what was theirs. Niggers ruin everything... And traitors.
Austin Gutierrez
If they had vibranium they would probably use it for fuel to burn down their mud huts in anarchic wars, that is of course until the lizard governments build them new mud huts and give food the breed.

Watch "Empire of Dust" and then she can explain how Wakanda could be made from lazy, low IQ, thieving workers. Empire of Dust is real, a doc made showing the troubles a Chinese firm had trying to build a road in the Congo using local labor.

Xavier Wilson
this makes me seriously rage these niggers KNOW that life was better under the white man but they would never say it
Ethan Fisher
Easy. First, blacks are the most entitled race on the planet. Second, they know in the back of their head that their black ethnostate would be dirtpoor, so they have to be international socialists to get handouts from the rest of the world.
Aiden Jackson
Thats great she should totally move there.
Tyler Brooks
I wish I capped the SAME FUCKING THREAD last night where a nordbro suggested this could be a great counter meme for the open borders argument. >open borders for everyone >thousands of degenerate Wakandans fleeing their homes for a better life in the EU >euro whites mass emigrate to ex-wakanda, slowly working their way into wakandan politics > whites don’t assimilate, form their own ghettos, demand legal concessions because muh racism > euros dominate wakandan politics and turn wakandan into Rhodesia 2.0 electric boogaloo >finally proving that open borders are good for the economy, but not for niggers > ? >profit
you assume that niggers care about muh racism and will be faggots like whites to just let you group up and demand things the moment you try to go into the streets to demand legal concessions because muh racism, you'll be met with a stone to the face and a brand new tire necklace as a gift
Josiah Gonzalez
>niggers invade and dominate Europe, a wet, cold, shitty place, devoid of value, but still full of gyppos > meanwhile, savvy euros fill not only the political, but industrial vacuum left by the departing niggers, inheriting by default a continent full to the brim with natural resources, lebensraum and a climate where socks are optional, and dissenting blacks are met with a killdozer What could possibly go wrong
Robert Martin
if you have the means and the will to clean a country and get rid of the remaining niggers, why dont you save your own country?
>what could possibly go wrong you want to give up your country thinking you'll get theirs, you'll get nothing
Lincoln Moore
No, I want both. I’m not greedy or anything.
Cameron Diaz
>>Side note, why are all nationalist niggers commies?
Communists tried to embed themselves in black "nationalist" movements to destabilize America by worsening race relations. Same thing that happened in Zimbabwe and South Africa. Shit was going ok and whites were figuring things out to make the quality of life for their illiterate bush dwelling neighbors better. Then a bunch of commies came along and gave them the idea that the only reason niggers are less successful than whites is because they're being oppressed. Not because their cultures couldn't invent written language and still believe in magic, but because whites are just evil and refuse to share.
Ryder Peterson
Whaa!? does she mean Rhodesia? cause that was true, closes to perfecting in terms of quailty of life.
Can't believe that people get paid to write these articles. Zimbabwe didn't gain Independence from Great Britain in 1980. It gained Independence from Zimbabwe-Rhodesia which was the union of black and white rule that existed from 1 June to December 1979. Before thaty it was a country named Rhodesia which became an independent nation in 1965. Someone makes a yearly wage off of this type of total tripe. Fuck this world.
Daniel Brown
In hindsight it's good that it happened. When we arrived they numbered at about 2 million, now they're 50+ million. We were retarded, but communism will sort that out for us in the long run.
Oh, the main reason why they prefer communism is because they culturally relate to it better than capitalism. They only like the lifestyle that capitalism brings.
Chase Brown
These niggers don't even understand the marxist dialectic, all they know is that communism/socialism = gibes taken justly from the oppressor class.
Angel Davis
>This continent is powerful and wealthy and has astounding potential It really does, just imagine what it would look like without the nigger menace not doing anything with all of that potential?
>Also, we wuz carthage incoming? I'm genuinely surprised we haven't really seen KANG Hannibal stories yet.
Lucas Robinson
Yeah I think it had another name too, something starting with R...
Jaxon Brooks
...ummm user, what the fuck just happened here

The jewel of africa is a sewer without the 10% Whites to show them duh wey Fucking vile niggers

>invading Europe War has been the favourite pasttime here for thousands of years, and we're really fucking good at it hence our current position. Even if you succeed (like some other invaders have) we would eventually bounce back on ambition, intellect and bloodlust alone.
Hahaha they paint Mugabe as some sort of hero for liberating Rhodesia from the control of whites,....while making little notes that it was a built up paradise that SOMEHOW fell apart around the same time it fell under black control. Here is a brief history: >Rhodesia >Whites and blacks live in a paradise >Whites in control, but blacks have it pretty good too. >Blacks have social mobility >Rhodesia on the verge of becoming a world power >Developing nuclear energy, ect >USSR decides it needs to spread communism there >Trains and funds commie army >Commie army is crushed by Rhodesia >USSR dumps a fuck ton more money into commie insurgents >Rhodesia now in trouble >USSR propaganda paints Rhodesia as racist so US doesnt want to help >besides US is busy helping Afghanistan foght the USSR >Rhodesian Army eventually over run >Commie Mugabe takes over >goes from commie to dictator real fast >blames whites for the commie war (technically true since Russians are white) >steal whites land gives it to blacks >vast farms now reclaimed by the jungle >nuclear engineers are all dead or have left >power grid destroyed, never fully repaired >we is wakanda now
Hunter Martin
>Need to convince the middle east, asia, africa, central and south america somehow and get them to flawlessly co-operate on a level never before seen in recorded human history just to take out the white man. Well I'm glad he's willing to admit how efficient killers white people can be and it would take the entire world to defeat whitey.
Xavier Ortiz
You forgot all the white women and children that were gangraped and tortured to death just for nog entertainment.
Josiah Rogers
The true red pill is 0% respect for either. Race really is a meme thing to focus on, the real war should be on culture. And all African culture, from their home continent to Europe to America, is fucking trash and needs to be overhauled from within and abandoned for something else.
Alexander Hughes
>Like another post-apartheid leader, >post-apartheid leader >post-apartheid >apartheid Rhodesia never had apartheid and therefore Mugabe can't be a post apartheid leader.

Didn't Wakanda's success come from the fact that some guy ate a psychedelic plant that made him into a genius übermench?
