surprizing
stop being so sensitive. most people around the world do not view africa and africans as being equal (though few will admit or realize it except for obvious racists). that is why they are surprised every time they discover any man-made thing of value, ie. skycrapers and modern architecture, indigenous writing or textiles, etc.You are to blame said:^ well their are plenty of african cities with similar skylines so it's not suprising to me
I would say Abidjan, Ivory Coast has a better skyline, and Port louis is right on the heels of NairobiNightsky said:As a forum member, I already knew about this skyline of course. It is probably the best in Africa outside South Africa.
I agree with you, it just gets annoying everytime an african city is shown most of the comments are about how suprising people are, like africa is nothing but mud huts to them.arzaranh said:stop being so sensitive. most people around the world do not view africa and africans as being equal (though few will admit or realize it except for obvious racists). that is why they are surprised every time they discover any man-made thing of value, ie. skycrapers and modern architecture, indigenous writing or textiles, etc.
i just try to ignore that and educate them. also keep in mind your own predudices when it comes to africa - in my own afrocentric research i am occassionally surprised, although not as much as i used to be or others still are.You are to blame said:I agree with you, it just gets annoying everytime an african city is shown most of the comments are about how suprising people are, like africa is nothing but mud huts to them.
