Someone said "Are you really so stupid to think that Africa has the same technological advances as us? If they did they would probably have clean water and not live in houses made of sticks and mud. Get over yourself and stop being so ignorant."..... Below is a tiny collection of images of the Africa they refuse to show you..

I’m sorry you’ve been made to believe that the whole of Africa is poor, I really am..

Reblogging for those of you who think Africa is only what the media and movies portrays it to be

This fucks me up because it’s scary to think that we can be showed something all our lives and not even know it’s a lie

And that my friend is the power of propaganda, indoctrination, and media

Are these pictures of South Africa or of Africa as a whole?

fgsshinyhoard

@the-collecting-turnip From top to bottom:

1. Port Elizabeth (South Africa)

2. Unknown

3. Nairobi (Kenya)

4. Pretoria (South Africa)

5. Aburi Botanical Gardens (Ghana)

6. Cape Town (South Africa)

7. Pretoria (South Africa)

8. Harare (Zimbabwe)

9. Windhoek (Namibia)

10. Windhoek (Namibia)

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.

Lets not forget the beauty that is Chefchaouen, Morocco;

Absolutely magical place. I visited there over 20 years ago and what was remarkable was how cool the blue walls were to the touch. And the Moroccan people are so friendly and hospitable.

Economic disruption has always impacted political decisions. That was the Boston Tea Party, right? Destroy property for political protest. It is as old as this country. Secondly, what you are seeing is eruption of anger and exhaustion. Anger and exhaustion are not always ‘strategic" or “thought out”– they are manifestations of pain. What you are seeing is people in pain. What the world is being asked to look at is the Black community in anguish. Imagine someone you love profoundly, your child, and imagine they were killed and not only was the person who killed them allowed to walk around with no accountability but then they were allowed to kill new kids in your community every week, and all the news ignored it or said it was your kids fault. Now imagine your pain. Really imagine your pain. Then imagine someone asking you again and again to be calm and rational. To think of everyone and everything but your child and your pain. This is what this country asks of Black people. How absurd it would be to ask that of you. Right now, no one has been killed except Freddie Gray in this incident. So destruction of property is happening yes, but violence is severing a man’s spine and crushing his voicebox. Violence is 5 bullets in the back of a man running for his life. Violence is 4 bullets in the chest of 12 year old playing with a toy gun. Violence is choking a man to death on a new york sidewalk. Violence is shooting a woman in the back of the head in a dark alley. That is violence. Breaking windows in CVS is not violence. It is pain.
