Cecil Rhodes and the exploitation of Africa
Thank you for educating me on this.
DeBeers and those fucking diamonds. Shiny things that people will kill to obtain. Who are the real savages?
I also had no idea. The unmitigated, unfathomable arrogance of European colonialists is truly stomach-churning.
I knew this because my history teachers in highschool weren’t told to shut up by anyone. (Yay disenchanted scribblers) Doubt my grandchildren are being taught this, but they will.
I was an educator for 25 years...and had no idea. Thank you for educating me!
Truly horrible! I’ll never own another diamond!
There are lab-grown options. Those may be problematic in other ways I don't know about, though.
I’m pretty much just done with jewelry all around. I will occasionally put on a pair of earrings, but they don’t contain precious gems.
