To @kushandwizdom this is a rather unfair portrayal of Africa as a whole since half of these are literally just South Africa. So Instead to add to this post and better dispel the myth of Africa as the vast wasteland of poverty most people think, I found a much more mixed collection of pics from various countries.
Luanda, Angola
Agadir, Morocco
Lagos, Nigeria
Cairo, Egypt
Port Louis, Mauritius
Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire
Algiers, Algeria
Tripoli, Libya
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Tunis, Tunisia
So, there, a much better case demonstrating the various major cities around Africa showing it isn’t some technologically backwards continent, but actually pretty up-and-coming in the world of commerce.
I once was talking to my Ethiopian manager about ignorant people asking her dumb shit about her life before she moved to the states…
the worst story she told me about was when she told a fellow student (at a fairly prestigious university) about a concert she went to back home. The other student responded with “omg you have music there!?” 🤦🏾♀️
Tumblr:is insanely notoriously lax in enforcing their own rules regarding harassment, violation of privacy, spambots, and child porn
US Government:hey man there’s like, 100 accounts we THINK are linked to this Russian org-
Tumblr: ok, got it [annhilates about 100 accounts in like 2 seconds and has a whole press release about it] ok, all done. now we will never have to do anything ever again
NCMEC: Uhhhhh. There’s. There’s a lot of child pornography here. A lot that hasn’t been entered into our database like we’ve asked you to.
Google and Apple: What the fuck? The mobile app’s off our store front, this is disgusting.
Tumblr: OH FUCK UHHHHHH. UH. [Makes an automated process to delete the offending blogs along with the spambots.] OK OK GOOD GOOD THAT SHOULD BE FINE- [The automated process starts deleting EVERYONE] -SHIT. SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.
Tumblr Users: hey, can you delete this person that’s been threatening to kill me?
