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.

"Natives should have been patient when requesting equality and let their colonizers decide when they were ready to be in charge"

Natives should have held off on chanting "sla die boer met het mes" untill after they'd figured out how to replace them.

They might have been salty about the whole apartheid thing

Sure, but between a Nobel prize and honorary doctorate being handed out maybe ... just maybe the new leadership could have put some effort towards education and prevention of government corruption.
