Well technically this started because the schools wanted to teach a unform language instead of a bunch of local dialects. I dunno if that's tyranny but if they didn't wanna go to the white man school no one forced them

Interesting. I knew it was in Zimbabwe but thought the place looked like Chitungwiza. I heard some scenes were shot in Chitungwiza. Years ago my friend told me her mum and some people in the neighbourhoods were invited to participate in the scenes with large gatherings and they did.

@TheBobasbro Жыл бұрын

It starts with dehumanizing a group, once a person is no longer a person but a target and a "threat" it becomes easier with each murder. It's digesting and horrible but it's the truth of how humans can commit an atrocity, knowing it's a terrible crime, but justify it. In this case these cowards were scared of the Status Que and their race based power structure changing so it was easy to become more extreme in there actions and justify committing criminal acts, it's lashing out and brutal to try and place fear in the majority Africans from attempting even non-violent civil action. The really horrible truth is it can happen anywhere, we see it with police shooting unarmed men running away or kids with BB guns 3.5 seconds before exiting their squad cars, once a man has decided a threat to his power and comfort has a face or a skin tone, he almost feels good when he pulls the trigger, that he's the hero even when the evidence doesn't match his decision that lead to a fatality. Empathy takes work, fear is lazy and easy.

They didn't show it in the movie, but in reality this happened after they butchered some police dogs, then the cops opened fire. I personally don't think dogs lives are more valuable than human, but at least in America if you kill a police dog the cops will shoot you here too. Not reasonable imo

I noticed that reference too. It's so sad to think Hector was only 12 when his life ended. And Mbuyisa Makhubu, the one carrying him, was forced to flee the country after being continually harassed by aparthied officials. Then he went missing and no-one ever heard from him. His mother passed away never knowing what happened to her son. Such a sad story...

At the time the SAP recruiters would actually be outside the school when the graduating class received their results. A lot of young constables were fresh out of high school and just out of basic training. The country had a siege mentality - police officers were assisting Rhodesia in their war, and the Red Danger was everywhere. All you needed was one rookie officer to panic, and fire a shot, and the rest was history. The pathologist who performed the autopsies fled the country after refusing to revise his findings that almost all of the victims where shot in the back. Sadly - the police are still very trigger happy. Just look at the Marikana Massacre.

No, which is a shame. Is the government using violence to suppress people simply because of the color of their skin? Also no, which is a very good thing.

Lmao lmao lmao lmao. Do you honestly think that ppl care that this offends you? My dear, the only issue is the rocks and petrol they threw weren’t big enough. I want you to think about some thing. When the Dutch came to South Africa do you think that these uprisings would have happened if the Dutch chose to live equally amongst the African people that were already living there? The violence against white folks in South Africa during apartheid was the response to the oppression that they brought upon the natives. People will only be oppressed for so long before they strike back. So everything that happened against the Dutch was well deserved. And the fact that many white South Africans today are living in poverty is absolutely well deserved and it’s karma.
