Cecil Rhodes - Gay UK Adventurer

He was gay and gorgeous when he was young.

Any Rhodes scholars here?

Who is gorgeous? Are you talking about the man or the actor in the TV show?

The man Rhodes may have been a pioneer bringing some good to Central Africa via a railway line linking Egypt, Sudan, Kenya and South Africa.

(He, of course, is reviled by the ignorant and the SJWs.)

The actor in the TV show is an overweight, pompous luvvie.

R2, the younger Rhodes is very cute. They're father and son in real life.

A vile mass-murdering satanist and Rothschild stooge. Now burning in hell

OP, I have now figured out that you're taking about

—actor Joe Shaw, an actor who may be heterosexual.

—empire builder Cecil Rhodes who may have been a celibate homosexual.

Some believe that Bill "tinymeat" Clinton is a descendant of Rhodes.

That mini series makes him super gay. They also have him briefly lusting after a boy. Like "For A Lost Soldier". Kind of fucked up.

Dear OP, you need to post some pictures to justify this personal obsession of yours.

From 9:45. He's beautiful.

It's not unusual. Charity was almost exclusively a gay thing in olden times. All your big philanthropists were "confirmed bachelors." Almost every city has some big public benefaction thanks to an old-timey gay with no rugrats to support.

My great grandfather was his doctor in South Africa. No family stories to report about the homosex

^ I know a house which was built in the 1890s by a retired surveyor who was there with Rhodes in Central Africa.

That miniseries is great but Frances Barber's character is annoying AF.

I have issues with everything about him. Fulbright scholar here.

R19? That's, um. um. um. Bad.

If that miniseries is accurate, he was hot when young and gay.

Dear Fulbright scholar, R20, have you experienced Africa?

by Anonymousreply 24June 23, 2019 1:49 AM

Yeah tell us about the Fulbright. What's the relation to Rhodes? What did you do after getting it? Where did you go for undergrad?

by Anonymousreply 25June 23, 2019 1:55 AM

Ditto everything r25 said.

Also, you’re a smarty pants! Congratulations! No sarcasm, I’m really impressed.

by Anonymousreply 26June 23, 2019 2:01 AM

Also, what do you do now?

by Anonymousreply 27June 23, 2019 2:04 AM

None of us have experienced the Zulu Wars, or the massacre of the Hottentots or the Mau-Mau killings.

None of us have experienced what Rhodes did trying to bring some semblance of order in the days of constant, intertribal petty-conflict between the various tribal kingdoms.

by Anonymousreply 28June 23, 2019 2:07 AM

^ Rhodes, obviously, had mixed motives, but a 'Cape to Cairo Railway' would have been a great boost to the economy of Eastern Africa.

That Video makes him seem like he was into boys. At 1:00:00. Weirdness.

by Anonymousreply 30June 23, 2019 5:21 AM

Yes, I saw his side-eye movements and look of longing just past 1:00:00 on the video... Wish they'd done more with that story-line...

The last time I was in South Africa, they were taking his statues down. Wanted to rid themselves of any legacies he left behind.

by Anonymousreply 32June 23, 2019 7:54 AM

I hope he went a pedophile. I didn't like that thing with that blond kid.

Damn he's cute. I wish he looked at me like that.

by Anonymousreply 35June 23, 2019 8:08 AM

I don't think he was creeping on that kid. He was just feeling lonely and missing his family. Like that kid is with his father so Rhodes is thinking about his own family.

by Anonymousreply 36June 23, 2019 8:10 AM

Miss Rhodes had zero interest in the native people, except perhaps to score some 12 inch uncut black sizemeat. She was there to rob the diamond mines for the Rothschild interests.

by Anonymousreply 37June 23, 2019 11:15 AM

It was Roger Casement who was supposedly scoring 12 inch uncut black sizemeat. Bill Clinton and Mayor Pete were Rhodes scholars. R25 my uncle was a Fulbright scholar: Princeton, Harvard, LSE (he's the brains in the family!).
