Instagram drama WE ARE ASCENDING!

We should be regressing

Fuck no we shouldn't, that's where the dinosaurs are.

Fuck YEAH we should be regressing.

You just proved his point, who doesn't want dinosaurs?

I wasn't even aware Instagram had a comment function.

BASTE BLAK MAN, so ebin!!!

But no really, Instagram drama is absolute trash, even by r drama standards.

We have standards?

we?

I mean we aren't SRD

We're here, we're based, we're blaque and on the attaque.

The Songhai will rise Again!

can there be a worse format for viewing drama?

Still better than trying to watch a video on instagram. It's like they had to try to have the shittiest media player of any social media site.

tumblr

I don't understand the layout of that site at all.

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.

Wyoming sucks because of Wyomingites

Nigeria sucks becuase of Nigerians

Big if true.

Wyoming sucks because it's a windswept tundra wasteland.

There are plenty of cool places in Wyoming. The people there are what make it unlivable

He already mentioned that Wyoming is cool u buddy retard

I'd take the rednecks there over any of the freaks from Jewtropolis

Virgin fent-head all jealous of rich Chad with the big skyscrapers.

yeah so

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.

I've got a better deal: how about you kys

How about you get gored by an elk when you and your friends are taunting him because you all simply that retarded?

how about you fall in front of a subway train?

I'm talking about the bulk of the state. Also have fun getting killed by bears/ volcanos.

Lol its not a tundra you dumb dumb DUMB fuck

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.

That dynamic grows even more pronounced if you ever get a West African to start opining on the merits of black Americans.

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

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.

I mean can't the guy understand that you can have different cultures while having same slim times?

Skin tone?

Yes.

Africans hate other Africans. The tribe mentality is big there.

this ain't it

The tribe mentality is big there.

Unlike here in europe where we hate each others for very valid reasons of them being of the wrong country.

No we hate each other because of what football team we support like real men

You might be right, but I want to know what football team you support to know if I have to reee at you or agree with you.

As a centrist, I support the rival of the person I'm interacting with in order to be as antagonistic as possible

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Barnstoneworth United. Fite me fucker.

Barnstoneworth United

Then I agree with you completely.

or for being the wrong kind of person in my country

or for being the wrong kind of person

Romania I am guessing ?

Nah hating half of the country is a thing in lots of Europe, in every one with linguistic, cultural and religious divides.

I mean, yes, fuck the flemish, but they are not the wrong kind of person, they are just person that are wrong.

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.

All the oil is in the Christian south tho.

and yet the revenues from the oil producing regions are distributed throughout the entire nation

Lol, no.

Nigeria was granted independence in 1960. Oil was first found in 1973. Can't blame the Brits for that one.

Huh? BP was producing crude oil in Nigeria even before independence.

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.

the british had a great deal of influence in the partition process as well as in post-independence elections.

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.”

“Ackchyually!”

I mean Nigeria's economy grows at like 7% a year, how are they being held back at all? That's about the fastest you can expect an economy to grow.

Economic growth and GDP are deceptive markers if nothing changes for the average person.

If their growth rate stay at 7%+ for the next few decades, things are going to change for the average person.

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.

For a sub-saharan african country Nigeria is doing alright.

It's funny because I assure you a majority arguing aren't even Nigerian. It's always American blacks and whites

People are reading about the Partition of Africa

Ask me for any hot takes 🤓🤓🤓

I'll give mine.

People say Africa is fucked up right now because there are a bunch of different cultures within any one country.

Otherwise known as multiculturalism.

spicy take, well done.

Tons of different kinds of Bantu?

Why is Nigeria half Muslim and half Christian, and how is this a model for the multicultural UK of the future?

You can always count on britbong's love of Islamic fundamentalism ruin its former colonies.

I mean eastern africa suffered under Arab/Berber slavery until the "Afica Question" aka Africa partition was done

so yeah

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.

The fuckign dahomi sold so many of their own men, they had to have a female army.

wow what a BASED black man saying BLACK people can do bad things upvoats to the left fellow centipedes

butthurt

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

just a stellar post all round dude

killer rebuttal dude. ignorance is bliss i suppose.

imagine seriousposting

Who wants to rebut to a stupid ass comment like that. Jesus fucking christ.

killer rebuttal dude. ignorance is bliss i suppose.

Don't bother with MDEtards and centipedos

but their everywhere 😢

We need to go private again

plz get me through security... i dont wanna go back to the refugee camp

their

YIKES. AAAAAAAND YEP! Y'ALL!!

dramatards are becoming mdetards. accept your new overlords hh. heil

Yeah, they should just roll over and die. They're totes yucky friend-o!

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.

*there

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.

enraged nn hhhhhh

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

Is that the map with W👁️kanda on it?

this but ironically

I play EU4 so that's basically the same as having a master's in world history.

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.

Nigeria has the highest concentration of black people in the world.

Hmmmm

I get it, but he's misguided. Black ppl were not involved in chattel slavery.

Should we tell him?

as a centrist you believe both are true. As a radical centrist, I believe both are false and true at the same time for the same reasons

Unsurprisingly, you've confused "radical" and "retarded".

"All statements are true in some sense , false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense." Malaclypse the Younger.

Nice to see other Pope's

Reductionists are always a good source of Drama-o's

Huh, that was an interesting read.

I feel very similarly about my own country and eastern Europe as a whole.

tl;dr

White people taking credit for everything smh

Fela Kuti was a white supremacist too!

A few years ago I came across an article that said there were no successful black nations in the world

Botswana is a successful black nation and has the name Switzerland of Africa for a reason.

I love when an Eastern European comes around and I show they that Botswana has a PPP per capita and standard of living higher than their country.

False

Nigeria has no problems
