Discussion on Race and National Identity

Built up our home in this country, and we like it.

It's an absolutely wonderful country.

And why should we just hand it over to the Black Africans

when we've worked so hard to accomplish everything that we have?

I mean, 80 years ago, when the first European came to this

country,

they were savages fighting each other and whatnot in tribal

warfare. And I mean, the European has brought them up to what

they are

today, and still they are spending a lot of money on their

education and

housing and all this type of thing.

And if only they would work with us, they

could eventually get up to our standard.

Do you think that will happen, Evelyn?

Well, it depends on the African themselves

whether they prepare to do this or

not.

I can't say if they will.

They seem to have this thing in their heads at the moment about majority

rule, and Ian Smith is not going to give it to them.

So they're going to have to either agree

to live, you know, and learn and become like the European is

now, or else there's most probably going to be

a war.

Imagine that there's going to be a war.

What are you going to do, you and your family?

Stay here and fight. What else is there to do?

There's nowhere to go, and we don't want to leave this country.

It's a very nice country. And after all the things we've built

up here, why just hop out of the country

and leave it to the African to

take over and just bring down again to what it was 80

years ago? Because this is what will happen.

They won't build up the country. They'll bring it down.

They have to have European supervision, you know, somebody that can tell

them which way to go.
