Americans Asked To Name a City in Africa, Goes Exactly How You Expect It To

[mr.africa]

Sad but, unfortunately went as expected.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Everyone knows NYC, LA and maybe Miami.

When you’re a global leader people know who you are, not the other way around.

Americans still think they are the centre of the world.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Sounds boring but ok.

And there is the issue. Learning is not about being forced. You gotta be a boring person if you live in a world and it never occurs to you that it might be interesting to learn all you can about it.


We not all built the same and it shows.

 

[Jalether]

algiers

Tunisia

Ghana
Accra

It's sad. Accra, Lagos, Mogadishu, Mombasa, Nairobi, Cairo, Aswan, Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Addis Abbaba. Mad easy.

Avg American isn’t going to know. Thry don’t travel there and unfortunately tv shows Africa as a desert with hungry people. I also don’t think Americans can name a city in Canada not named Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver.

 

[Uchiha God]

I love geography so this would have been easy for me

 

[Black Magisterialness]

It's sad. Accra, Lagos, Mogadishu, Mombasa, Nairobi, Cairo, Aswan, Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Addis Abbaba. Mad easy.

Kinshasa, Kampala, Algiers, Djibouti, Abidjan, Tripoli, Mombasa, Casablanca....so easy.

 

[Spence]

Geography is a dope knowledge to have and I am probably better than the average US citizen but I am still not where I want to be with that.

Don't ask me how...

Carmen SanDiego PBS & Fox cartoon had your boy knowing the entire fkn globe (I’ve retained a ton too, Congress actually launched an initiative because US kids couldn’t name 3 fkn countries on a map in the 90’s )

 

[Spence]

Kinshasa, Kampala, Algiers, Djibouti, Abidjan, Tripoli, Mombasa, Casablanca....so easy.

Actually been to Marrakech, Ourzazate and a ton of other cities in the Atlas Mountains so it would’ve been easy as hell. People forget Cairo is in Africa too

 

[mbewane]

Yup, Libya is an easy one to remember. Nikkas say "Benghazi!!!!!" and "What about her emails!!!!" over and over but, somehow forgot that's an African city they can name

They probably think it's in Middle-East, since Lybians are perceived as "Arabs" and Muslims.

 

[getmoney310cpt]

Lot of people tuned out of world history class in high school ..it was one of my favorite subjects..I imagine everyone in this video just did what they had to do to pass world history didn’t really care for it

 

[mattw1313]

those ditzy cave bytches couldn't name a city in north dakota either

Quebec?

 

[KnickstapeCity]

Off top you got Cairo, Kinshasa, Lagos, Khartoum, Addis Ababa.

 

[JLova]

Quebec?

That’s a province.
