He basically is responsible for massacre for millions of people purely because they belonged to the Jewish faith.
What he has done, rather had done, is TERRIBLE and almost nothing can come close to it in terms of cruelty, insensitivity, racial bias and inhumanity.

The West has lied to the World that it only took them a few years for them to conquer Africa while actually it took them more than 4 centuries for them to stand a chance against well established African communities #LivingBetterStartsWith #BBInoContest
Until the last quarter of the 19th, African armies continued to defeat the best armies of Europe. European armies, despite superior weapons, could still suffer defeats up to the end of the 19th century. #Africa #HandsOffAceMagashule
A British force was wiped out by a Zulu army in 1879, an Italian army suffered a crushing defeat by Ethiopians in 1896. #Ethiopia #LivingBetterStartsWith #SouthAfrica

Nothing in this world black and white, we were told. Everything that's matters is in shades of grey, we were told. On this day can we just admit that we have been fed a lot of trash? While blacks are in palpable pain watching police violence, whites are shocked by black reaction.
