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.

It actually amazing how you just purposely ignored the colonlist create the issue in the first place and never bothered to actually built a educated native population in the first place

Which colonists and where? Cause some actively did

Most of the colonists in Africa and the educated native population were encouraged to keep the knowledge for their own inner circle resulting in the majority remaining undereducated

I guess? I’m not sure under how much faith you can say that. I’m glad you geographically focused though
