1/3 #CCC folks glorify Ian Smith, a settler colonialist like Cecil Rhodes; lying that he was better and did wonders for whites when the racist dog was the worst of 8 white prime ministers; who started & lost a 15 year war that bankrupted Rhodesia & turned it into hell for whites! 
2/3 Glorification of Ian Smith's racist rule is a treacherous denigration of the liberation struggle, which resulted in the return of violently stolen indigenous land. By 2013; 276,620 black households had reclaimed 12,117,000 ha that were with only 3,500 whites under Ian Smith!
3/3 There can be no circumstance that warrants the glorification of racist dogs like Ian Smith & Cecil Rhodes. Notably, the glorification of Smith is coming from quarters that were part of the 2017 coup; some of them called it "a miracle" & others wrote long essays supporting it!
