Much of Africa is overrun with great natural resources, yet they do worse than Baltimore, Detroit and other American $h!tholes.
I've traveled a fair amount in Africa and in general, the entire continent is a shithole. There are notable exceptions, but they are few and circling the drain.

I was in south africa last spring with a church group. during our time in Johanessburg and cape town my hair just stood on end. It reminded me of the a time when I lived near harlem in the 1980’s. I walked cat footed on jungle feet in some neighborhoods. In others I had to move fast because the hatred was so thick and and the people were so predatory. south africa was the same.
we went up to zambia where there were almost no whites. but the combination of urban poverty unhappiness and predation was not there. It felt happier and safer.
If you’re going to be dirt poor —its better to be dirt poor up country in zambia than in the townships of south africa.
Yep...I worked for two years in the boonies of eastern Africa on a Yuge mine project and while I enjoyed being there, we used to refer to the continent as a giant TWSH; Third World S-Hole.
I spent a month in Namibia last year and while it is a very nice country, it too is starting to circle the bowl.
As we used to say; “AWA”; Africa Wins Again.

What I Learned in the Peace Corps in Africa: Trump Is Right
By Karin McQuillan
Three weeks after college, I flew to Senegal, West Africa, to run a community center in a rural town. Life was placid, with no danger, except to your health. That danger was considerable, because it was, in the words of the Peace Corps doctor, “a fecalized environment.”
In plain English: s-— is everywhere. People defecate on the open ground, and the feces is blown with the dust – onto you, your clothes, your food, the water.

Americans think it is a universal human instinct to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It’s not. It seems natural to us because we live in a Bible-based Judeo-Christian culture.
We think the Protestant work ethic is universal. It’s not. My town was full of young men doing nothing. They were waiting for a government job. There was no private enterprise. Private business was not illegal, just impossible, given the nightmare of a third-world bureaucratic kleptocracy.

We are lectured by Democrats that we must privilege third-world immigration by the hundred million with chain migration. They tell us we must end America as a white, Western, Judeo-Christian, capitalist nation – to prove we are not racist. I don’t need to prove a thing. Leftists want open borders because they resent whites, resent Western achievements, and hate America. They want to destroy America as we know it.
As President Trump asked, why would we do that?

Controversial television host, Valentina Agyeiwaa, aka Afia Schwarzenegger has thrown her weight behind President of the United States, Donald Trump for describing Africa as a ‘Shithole’.

... which he’s denied (several times) ever saying.
Years ago I took a flight from Johannesburg to Rio.Like most flights from Europe to the US it was daylight all the way...left Joburg in the morning and arrived in Rio in the afternoon...about 7 hours.
It was a crystal clear day as we approached the coastline of Namibia and we were low enough so you could see the endless Namib Desert go right up to the green waters of the South Atlantic.
I got a great photo of it...one of my very favorites.
My understanding is that, going forward, the term is now Schiff-hole.
Exactly. The president denied calling Haiti and African countries “$hitholes.” Other people at the meeting claim the president did not use that word.
Like Mark Twain once said, “A lie travels around the world before the truth has a chance to put its pants on in the morning.”
There’s a reason (at least some) housing or apartment complexes in South Africa have guards walking around with AK-47’s.
Wow, Ghana sounds almost as bad as New Jersey.
Having lived in Ghana some years ago, things are tough, but the people are great. I know many who have won the lottery and now live in Colorado. They are honest, hard working, friendly, and, unlike far too many of their “African-American” cousins, love the USA and the great opportunities it has given them.
As for sh!tholes, try the “one man; one vote; one time” kleptocracies - for example: Zimmbabwe, Nigeria, and the love of the left = South Africa.
Now that’s funny!
Go to Kenya and hear them bitching about their former British “overlords” who left years ago. If it wasn’t for the safaris and Kilimanjaro, it would be just another shole country. Come to think of it — I don’t know of one country in Africa where I want to live. The continent was better off under their European masters and most of them probably agree with me, especially the Hutu and Tutsi occupants of the many mass graves. Africa — the White Man’s burden.
