When Richard Pryor visited Africa at the advice of his mother, he had an eye-opening experience. " I was in Africa. The Motherland. And I did not see any niggers there." In these images, there is prosperity as well as poverty. However, whether one is prosperous or in poverty, there is always a glimmer and a path to hope.
HOLD UP! It looks like these fools are throwing up the Blood sign! They're gang bangin' in Africa?! :smt043
Looks like most Western tourist propaganda photos IMO. Sure the resorts locales and the capitol look spiffy, just don't leave the big cities. I could collect similar photos from Nigeria/SA/Ghana/Kenya too. Not saying these aren't places worthy of visiting but the standard of living there isn't the same as it is in the West.
We get enough shitty scenes from Africa... Why not show the good for a change????? The living standards in the west are falling like rocks...just look at the US for example. The entire middle-class was fed to the richest banks to the tune of 16 TRILLION dollars.
you can say the same thing about europe or do you think all of france looks like paris or all of england looks like the area around Buckingham palace? There are straight up ghettos all over European and half of eastern europe is war torn and has been for decades. the sheer fact that you would push back to the idea of showing nice clean safe looking metropolitan areas in african countries shows the conditioning that africa (the continent) must all look like this
