What does act the white man mean?
The expression has a deeply racist origin, not unrelated to the "White Man's Burden". It dates from the the time when Britain ruled approximately one third of the land mass of the Earth and a few hundred young, white Colonial administrators held sway over the daily lives of millions of brown-, black- and yellow-skinned people all across the globe. This was the time when Cecil Rhodes (after whom Rhodesia was named, later Zimbabwe) gave a pep talk to these young chaps as they prepared to take the benefits of (British) civilization to the far-flung corners of the world, saying "Remember, you have won first prize in the lottery of life - you are Englishmen!"
The expression was based on a presumption that white men, and only white men, could be relied upon to "do the right thing", i.e. make morally sound choices in difficult situations and it was an exhortation to do the right - rather than the easy or the self-interested - thing, hence "Act the white man!"

Does the US get along with Zimbabwe?
No Zimbabwe and the us don't get along with each other. Since USA wanted to take over Zimbabwe and failed because President Robert Mugabe ( Zimbabwe's president) was very clever and didn't want his people to keep on being killed. And he also didn't want his people to be under constitutional monarchy.
First off, the above is hideously incorrect, and fails a basic history lesson.
Zimbabwe was previously called Rhodesia, and, before that, Southern Rhodesia, a part of the British Empire. The United States generally has had little to do with that area of Africa in terms of colonization or imperial influence.
The current situation is that the United States strongly disapproves of the current government of Zimbabwe, and has joined many other European countries (and, a variety of other major world countries, too), in calling for a replacement of the current government by a freely elected one.
As such, the US participates in a variety of embargoes and sanctions against the government of Zimbabwe.
The root of the current problem is President Mugabe, who has gone from being a nominally respectable and reasonable leader to one who shows all signs of attempting to be a dictator - that is, one who is attempting to retain power though a variety of undemocratic and repressive measures.

Why did great Zimbabwe remains mostly isolated cultural diffusion?
Great Zimbabwe remained mostly isolated from cultural diffusion primarily due to its geographic location and the socio-political structure of the region. Surrounded by rugged terrain and distant from major trade routes, interactions with other cultures were limited. Additionally, the kingdom's self-sufficiency in resources and its strong centralized authority reduced the need for external influence, allowing it to develop a unique cultural identity. Consequently, while some interactions occurred, significant cultural diffusion was minimal.
