Imagine you were as retarded as... actually wait, skip that step, you're ahead of the game on that one. Now, imagine how you would design a blogging site layout. Now, take all the best, most straightforward design decisions, and invert them. You now understand tumblr's underlying UX logic.
Here's a compromise: How about you and the rednecks all go to trench-water Alassippi and let us freaks buy up all the beautiful spots in the Tetons. That way we'll never have to see each other.
This is a pretty common sentiment I’ve heard from a Ghanaian and Nigerian friends which invariably leads to some pasty ass Canadian whose never been to either country to tell them they’re wrong.
Yeah I partied a lot with a Nigerian dude in college and he had a tendency to go on angry rants about hip hop and "ghetto trash" (his words) whenever we were more than half-in-the-bag.
There's something preeminently funny about a middle-class white girl at a house party stammering "y-y-y-you're being kind of racist" to an actual African.
The ice nigger isn't totally wrong. The British set up Nigeria to make sure the oil belonged to the dickhead muslims in the north instead of the chill Christians and animists in the south.
The problems are caused by Nigerians, but the only reason they exist is because of the great multiculturalists of the British Empire.
My Ghanese roommate would repeatedly tell me that black americans have "evil in their hearts". The guy had schizophrenia so I never thought of him having normal opinions on these things.
“My country has a ton of potential, but is being held back by an ineffective culture. I believe we can fix this, but not if we continue to blame our problems on an injustice from 200 years ago.”
It's incredibly obvious to anyone who knows the first thing about these societies (or India, or Indonesia, or wherever.) They have massive internal problems that are holding them back and are not being caused by foreigners.
Then you have places like Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia who seem to have shrugged-off whitey's terrible malevolences and actually done very well for themselves.
I disagree that it was just black people selling and whites buying. A small fraction of Africans who were sociopaths engaged in it, like Efunroye Tinubu, just a small fraction. Every people have their pyschos. But for the most part, the white man raided, maimed and kidnapped the people.
Well, that's just impressive. Usually people wait a couple of sentences before failing at their own logic.
DAE negros ought to make make retarded post colonial meme states work despite all the factors holding them back? also i know nothing about Nigeria but based black man said its their fault so i believe him
over two hundred million people live there. I'm quite sure their able to survive but thrive? achieve wealth similar to the west? fuck no. too many trade barriers, institutional failures, and a history of succession fever keeps them in there place. being woke about your countrys problem doesnt just make them go away and unlike what the instagram post would suggest there is no unified nigerian culture, a actual nigerian would laugh in your face if you would say it was so. but i guess we can just ignore all that and say that just need to lift themselves up by the bootstraps and call it a day.
So what? You're talking as if they're not real people, just a backdrop for your left wrong tripery. Just because someone lives in the third world doesn't mean they can't make a difference in their country.
TBF 99% of people who talk about this shit know next to zero history and think sub saharan africa consisted of mud huts and tribal villages for all its history
i have spent tens of minutes looking at that one map of "uncolonized africa" where its upside down and covered with weird borders and names like "alkebu-lan," so i speak with some authority here
Africa was difficult to develop for agriculture. The reason bantu languages are everywhere is because the bantu were the first people to develop the agricultural methods to make it possible, and thus exploded all over the continent starting around 400 AD. Thus what civilizations they did develop were much younger than those in the belt from europe to asia. Also they did not really benefit from the spread of knowledge, they were cut off by the sahara essentially.
In the 19th century, Africa had a population much smaller than Europe.

Black Americans and actual Africans hate each other. Africans think black Americans are spoiled little welfare bums.

1 xu85 2018-09-26
All the oil is in the Christian south tho.
1 llapingachos 2018-09-26
and yet the revenues from the oil producing regions are distributed throughout the entire nation
1 Che_Gueporna 2018-09-26
Lol, no.
Nigeria was granted independence in 1960. Oil was first found in 1973. Can't blame the Brits for that one.
1 llapingachos 2018-09-26
Huh? BP was producing crude oil in Nigeria even before independence.
1 Che_Gueporna 2018-09-26
Ah, sorry looks like my initial source was inaccurate. Yes, the first crude was produced in 1958.
But by that point, Independence was already in the cards and the British weren't really running things much any more.
1 llapingachos 2018-09-26
the british had a great deal of influence in the partition process as well as in post-independence elections.

1 BellyCrawler 2018-09-26
Economic growth and GDP are deceptive markers if nothing changes for the average person.
