hahhahahhahahaha---Africa is a shithole--plain and simple-undeniableIt is likely that those here proclaiming ALL of Africa to be a "shithole" are just parroting that orange creature that is currently in the White House, and have never even been there, and are mostly ignorant of the actual history of the continent.
I would not consider anything that they have to say to be credible.
Truthfully, that condition exists in most cities.
The city that I live in within southern California, has a multitude of different situations. Some good and some bad.
You mean like yourself? Botswana and Kenya are two countries I enjoy quite a lot.
How about you regale us with some history of those two countries.
There has already been enough credible "history" posted in this thread by some, like Franco and IM2.
Speaking for I'm talking about recently and present times, that I personally witnessed.
Misinformed individuals who have obviously never been to Africa, and are deeming it to currently be an all encompassing "shithole", is what I am addressing.
I've been to Africa over several decades. I stayed in Kinshasa Zaire back in p1974 to attend the Ali/ Foreman heavyweight title fight. I had a very nice room with great service near N'djili Airport.
Back then, I didn't see a "shithole" city. What I saw was a clean, lively, and fun place, teeming with highly educated, comfortable Africans, many of whom were professionals.
They didn't live in "mudhuts" and were not "eating bugs", as some of your poorly educated peers have stated that the entire continent is
I also stayed in Kigali, Rwanda, just in the last 10 years and did not see people "eating bugs" and living in "mudshacks" either.
It is documented history that the continent has been raped, and its indigenous people marginalized by unwelcomed interference, and exploitation.
Other than that, I'm enjoying this thread. As usual, it shines a telling light on the ignorance of some of those who post here.
Yes, Africa has been raped. However, the leaders, the BLACK leaders, have been willing participants in that rape. What franco and im post is sometimes factual, most times not.
Unlike you who visited briefly, I have actually lived in Africa for extended periods of time.
Interesting that you mention Kinshasa, I was there for the fight too. Had you bothered to travel just a little way out of the city center...like three kilometers. You would have seen an entirely different city.
Unlike yourself who flew in, I drove in, and the world beyond the happy center of town is far different.
And, sadly, it has become far worse.....you hate America/etc--don't try to deny it..if you think Africa is so great, why don't you live there?now KatySteve is bad mouthing Veterans!!!!!!What were you in USMC? An experimental crash dummy?
Did you actually mingle among the natives and listen to their stories?
Likely not.
why don't you just move to Africa since you hate cops/America/Americans/Veterans
I don't hate any of the above, veterans, proud Americans, or anyone, numbskull.
And no. I'm not moving, you ignorant piece of trash.
My families history likely goes much further back in this country than yours.
People in my family served this country, and to this day, there are some who still do.
So, dumbass, back to the question.
When you allegedly went to Afica on a so called "cruise," did you talk to any natives?
Probably not.
You're an idiot that literally borders on retardation.
I have never even implied that I hate America, nor that Africa is "great", you freak.
But, I do think that America has some screwballs in its population......like you.
No. It is entirely not.
So, once again. What part of Africa did you visit while allegedly there?
And, did you speak to any natives?
