Buckley to Ian Smith

I think it is quite true that if the 250,000 white people in Rhodesia were to awake tomorrow with black skins, there would be absolutely no resentment over the fact that five percent of the country was really governing 95 percent.

This would be rather more than in most African states.

Transcript of Firing Line, "The Question of Rhodesia." Prime Minister Ian Smith. Taped in Salisbury, Rhodesia, March 15, 1974 and broadcast April 28, 1974.

The Firing Line television series is a production of the Southern Educational Communications Association[.]

Columbia, South Carolina.

Buckley's conservatism always had solid ties to the Deep South.
