Chinaman keeping it 100 in Kenya

The Chinese guy in this photo stepped in front of tanks to protest against African immigrants being allow to attend college in China. Africans should at least practice soft racism for balance.

No, no one even can fully identify who that guy is. This is Tiananmen Square's Tank Man. You're attaching another protest in Nanjing to this man, which is completely false.

Right about no one being able to identify the guy in front of the tank but you can say the Tiananmen Square Protests are completely different.

You can literally spend 5 minutes and find out that Nanjing protest help start Tiananmen protest as it was the first big dissidance in China for the time. Even during the TSP, they had banners against Africans talking to Chinese women.

So who knows, dude prolly was more pissed about Africans than actual democracy. Never know

The only "win" you get from accepting the outside capital is that those resources get developed faster. But they often are being developed faster only so that you can start using them to facilitate the business of the country that is helping you, so what you gain in speed you lose in self-determination and long-term sustainability. That's exactly the path that happened in Nigeria - they allowed foreign entities to "develop" their oil industry, but all it did was facilitate the shipping of Nigerian oil around the world while the rich took kickbacks, the poor suffered, and when Nigeria does become self-sufficient it will have that much less in natural resources to work with.

That’s an incredible leap in facts though. Sure Nianjing might have been a catalyst for government dissedence allowing Tiananmen Square to be what it was but the two protests are not a one to one to make the claim the original post did.

Hey there are no Indians or Chinese in Somalia.

There were plenty of indians in Somalia and there still are some left. The civil war led to a lot of them leaving though.

Going to the maasai market is a tourist trap. Things are automatically priced up. You can ask how much something cost and a second later I can ask the same thing in Swahili and they'll quote me a third of what they quoted you. They stay finessing foreigners. Even on the matatus or busses. I've seen them play obvious tourists and charge them more than anyone else cause they know tourists and foreigners have no concept of the proper price.

Even I had that problem when I came back. Someone quotes you a price. You convert it into dollars. Tell yourself thats not bad. Walk away paying three times what you should have paid. And then outside of supermarkets everything is negotiatiable. I used to think my mom was cold when someone quoted say 150. And she counters with 50 and doing a third is probably its real wholesale price. when doing business I realized most make a 40 percent margin on things.

Yeah they were getting bammas left & right. My friend bought some jewelry and tried to keep talking the lady down and I was looking at them both like . I kept my bread and went to The Alchemist & copped some shyt from ‘Made In Kenya’. But I think I got played at the spice market in Tanzania .
