What's good
@TMNT4000? *dap*
Great article
@ReallJc!
Much like
@*L*E*G*A*C*Y* said, the portuguese were the ones who started the Transatlantic trade. In other words, for AAs who want to know about how their ancestors made it to the US they must put it in their heads that a portuguese crew was most likely the one riding the first boat trip that took the brehs outta Africa. Remember the story of europeans trying to go to India the long route (to avoid a Mediterranean sea filled with pirates) and stumbling across Africa? Those were the portuguese in 1482 (cac's name was Diogo Cão, he was Africa's Columbus of sorts).
When you think portuguese you gotta remember that Portugal historically is an extension of Hispania of which Spain also came from. Word to cac-Emperor Augustus. And that connection between Spain and Portugal maintained itself through most of the 13th-20th century. So if Spain is still as racist as it is today (think how spaniards still throw bananas to black players of the soccer teams they would literally die for), do not think that somehow Portugal went the complete opposite way. Ever.
The current situation in Angola is bad, but not as worse as it can get yet. A clearly portuguese person has yet get into a position of any real political power, but business wise they're somewhat thriving out here, along with cac-brazilians, no offense to
@honestly?'s people. Making shady deals with shady black Angolans who're too stuck in the making money scheme to care about the country as a whole. A lot of them are eating AND shytting on the plate they eat because somehow they can't get more.
Like for instance, the current climate in Angola is a difficult one because of the drop in oil prices (Angola's economy is 70% dependent on oil, so while AAs are celebrating the gas prices shyt is getting sour in Angola
no hate just facts) and that put a strain on the US-dollar reserves in the country. Meaning people can't get US-dollars out the country as easily as they could and the portuguese are growing livid because a lot have to send money back home to their families. There was even a portuguese article talking about Angola not being the "El Dorado" it used to be anymore (the disrespekt is real), so fukk them. I hope they quit their jobs and leave in disappointment too
.
@Din0can I agree with the dictator part, but that's not happen through war. We've been in war for over 35 years (up until 2001) after the independence and a lot of families don't wanna go through that loss again. So people ain't taking up arms anytime soon. Politically however, the president is getting old and the wolves are circling the presidential spot. Which is both
&
because nikkas are clearly scheming, but you don't know if these schemers actually have a dope plan for the country in action for after the president is out the spot. As we speak the Dict-I mean-president is thinking about running for a third official term because he's afraid once he steps out that chair he's gonna find himself in the ICC after the rats come out.
