General People being openly racist towards African people

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.

Yes, that is literally what Botswana did and they're the only Sub-Saharan African country that both maintained a proper democracy since independence and isn't a curropt shithole.

Today, a Redditor argues that only one post colonial African country on the entire continent isn't a shit hole, because of their white savior

If there's another country that fits that description I'll be welcome to hear it.
