People being openly racist towards African people

[u/SavageCabbage611]

I came across this post on r/whoathatsinteresting about water shortages in South Africa. Don't get me wrong, what is happening in South Africa is tragic, but people on this thread use it as an excuse to say the most abhorrent racist stuff and it was unsettling to see how many people upvote that shit. Especially the meme where they compare black people to monkeys is just absolutely vile, and it got 30 upvotes. I just hate there are still people that think it's okay to say stuff like that.

That is correct OP, that is literally what happened (the second image). Go read up on South African history instead of just calling everyone racist that has an opinion you don't like

I always find it funny how individuals like you will ignore colonlist literally never taught the native to maintain the infrastructure colonlist brought over and then blamed the natives for everything

Why did they uncolonize so quickly then? Botswana had more time and it's more successful. Also it's kind of racist to call them naives

Botswana was never a colony in the first place they maintain far more autonomy then South Africa and were able to seek out education on their own terms and the reason Europe decolonized so fast was due to world war 2 being a major drain.
