I know nothing while you sit and spew dumbass talking points about anyone wanting a colonizer to come back to the country to recolonize it. Rhodesia was a colony founded by Cecil Rhodes (A Eurasian) and it became a British colony. Ruled by a minority of Eurasians, in a predominately African territory. So yes, eventually they fought for their freedom in the 80s.   
  
Now, lets address that bogus ass claim about some of them asking for colonizers to come back. I wonder what would happen if after obtaining freedom from a colonizer - the colonizer continues to plant seeds of disruption in their failed colony, so that the people they once colonized still would have to depend on their colonizer. I will provide examples for your slow ass.  
  
In the early years (1980s), Mugabe was actually praised by Britain and others for reconciliation and maintaining white-owned businesses.  
  
The West began imposing sanctions and cutting ties when Mugabe’s policies threatened white economic interests—especially the 2000 land reform program.  
  
Zimbabwe remained heavily reliant on trade and loans from the West even after 1980. Why?  
The IMF and World Bank imposed structural adjustment programs in the 1990s that worsened poverty in Zimbabwe and many other countries.

Even though "freedom" was obtained, the hands of the colonizer never really left the throat of the country. They just switched tactics. Instead of boots on the ground, they used debt traps, sanctions, and international pressure to keep Zimbabwe economically kneecapped. And when the country tried to take back land stolen during colonization? Suddenly the ‘West’ had a problem. Funny how that works.

So no—it wasn’t ‘black farmers begging colonizers to come back.’ It was white former landowners and their sympathizers crying foul when stolen land was redistributed. It was propaganda dressed up as pity.

And as for your "Kill de Boer" reference—if you think quoting inflammatory chants replaces understanding colonial history, then yeah, you really don’t know anything, sir.
