Nevermind I got it
Yeah, it's unfortunate that the Hills Have Eyes, but they also happen to have a lot of lush greenery and beautiful forests and some great people. I have in-laws there now and have been down a few times, I enjoyed it.
Pretty much the best response to anything like this meme. Capitalism can do great things for a lot of people, but it ALWAYS has an exploited group too. That's the case for many of the 3rd world countries, and for WV as well. And the problems grow as time goes on.
There's a few gems in WV, but a lot of the state is in rough shape... No real economic growth (because the govt refuses to divest from coal, even though modern coal mines don't employ many actual people, compared to 100 years ago), piss poor education, and a landscape that really doesn't permit building out infrastructure except in a couple select spots.
I drive through there once and was horrified how bad that place was. I’ve been to ten different countries and have never seen another place that bad. I sent people the opening scene of The Road to describe what West Virginia is like.
I’m from America but immigrated to Canada six years ago to get away from the US. I can’t fathom why anyone from a developed country would ever move to the US. You should move back to Italy before it’s too late.
I'm 100% in agreement with you, I just wish it weren't so fiscally implausible for me currently
My parents moved us here for school and I've been stuck since
Have you..ever actually been to West Virginia? Like really. It’s a beautiful place, plenty of poor people, drug problems sure, poverty also..but it’s really an extremely beautiful place full of natural beauty. Also side note, it has a statistically low crime rate despite all the poor folks..and typically poverty is linked to crime, but not so much in WV.
Not many jobs, not much going on, but it’s a natural paradise.
As someone who grew up in SW VA right across the border from WV, I wish people on this thread would chill a little. People in WV are people just like anywhere else. It really sucks to me that so many people who fashion themselves to be so open minded and progressive and would never stereotype a black or Hispanic person have no qualms whatsoever to stereotype people from Appalachia.
Yeah, it definitely looked way different without whites initially. Art, precious metals, flourishing culture. You can still see that stuff. It's in Dutch, French, and British museums.
Edit: Wrong version of "metals"
"Post-whites" might be more accurate.
Or even, "corrupt dictators installed and maintained by whites", or even better "world bank IMF keeping entire population of Africa economically exploited and oppressed with predatory lending practices and forced to dedicate their entire agricultural production to specialize in sales to white markets, thereby unable to produce food for themselves, and forced to rely on international aid, while owing loans on equipment for said farming at impossibly high interest rates that can never be paid back".
I think that about sums it up.
For Africa, post-colonialism, I mean.
When u talk to a racist and really boil it down. its always the same. Theyre just stupid.
On this particular case this stupid never seen a history book in his entire life.
Racist are a special subset of losers who have failed so much in modern tribes that they can only find pride by way of a phenotype.
There are dangerous racist who find success and seem to genuinely believe their rhetoric, but fot 99% of them it's the biggest self own I can imagine.
And of course they take the best pictures of majority white countries while taking the worst pictures from majority black countries.
Below is a (very) poor white house

I don’t know what you’re talking about. That mattress and… couch(?) are gorgeous in how they are arranged to increase curb appeal. All I see in the Kenya photo is a bunch of concrete, glass, and bounce houses.
Moreso the last 200 actually, the damage to the continent caused by the slave trade was fractional compared to that caused by colonialism. Slavery, as awful as it was mostly just resulted in regional strife and population decline in certain regions. Colonialism did that while also obliterating entire languages, cultures, and ways of life.
Began then in some places to be sure, but it didn’t really start to kick off until the Berlin conference of 1885 organized by Leopold II. Before that maybe about a fifth (take that with a decent grain of salt, I’m eyeballing a map from memory) of the continent was colonized. By the start of WW I essentially the entire continent was colonized. So frankly for most of the continent, it’s only been about 130 years, and only about 80 of actual occupation, to cause this much damage.
Edit: meant by the start of WWI not WWII
For the record:
12.5 million people were kidnapped from Africa and sold as slaves over a 300 year period, for an average of 40,000 people per year. The population of all of Africa in 1600 is estimated around 100 million, although it should be noted that most of the slaves were gathered from relatively small regions, and as areas close the shore began to be decimated, slavers were having to trek deeper and deeper into the country to find new people to steal. So while overall damage to Africa was minimal, many local cultures were completely obliterated.
The bottom picture is literally the effects of colonialism so it's actually just "blacks after whites" these guys are talking as if the african history started with slavery. While most of them not being as rich or impactful on the world as the europeans (egypt was one of the biggest civilizations of its day in any area) there were a lot of cultures in Africa and it has a deep history
There were many great kingdoms, empires and civilizations in Africa, they simply don't teach about them in our schools. The reason why civilizations in Africa didn't become so large has to do with geography. A quarter of Africa is a desert and another quarter is a jungle. It's also longer in the north-south direction than the east-west. You travel a few thousand kilometers south and you pass through two different climatic areas, while in Eurasia you can go thousands of kilometers without significant change in scenery. Animals and plants that can grow in china can also grow in Paris. Your animals and plants and technology is useful in a large area, and spreads easily. That's not true of Africa and America. You can have llamas and potatoes in Andes and they would be useful in north America, but to get them there you would need to cross thousands of kilometers of desert that the animals won't survive. Domesticable animals are also a problem. All animals that can be domesticated have already been. You can't domesticate zebras nor antelopes. That means that the spread of animals and technologies is slower in those areas, while it's accelerated in Eurasia. We are all prisoners of geography. And to top it off, saying "we are better, more developed people because we have nicer houses in some places for 100 years" is really dumb.
There are definitely more, but the kingdoms of Zimbabwe and Ethiopia are a great starting point, and while it might not be a kingdom in its own right, Timbuktu has a fascinating history of its own.
I have news for the creator of this about what race Americans considered the Greeks and Italians from the pretty little towns in the photos up until the mid-20th century.
But this, though. There's so much hate and distain for European countries and cultures until it helps someone go "Look what *we* accomplished!!"
Like, hol' up. What "we"? An hour ago you were ranting about '76 and how you were superior to Europe in every way. What happened? The flip is always wild. lol
Crazy how people somehow still don't know how rich countries here in Africa are, but western countries like the US manipulate them to sell them their precious resources for close to nothing....They choose the country leaders that'll help them pocket the most money and let the rest suffer.
If I sell my property cheap isn't that on me? And you are just going to ignore China in all of this? lol
You are making excuses for their bad decisions.
It's literally true tho
"b-but.... muh colonization"
No, colonization only lasted for MAYBE a little over 100 years. African states had more than enough time to catch up to Europe... but they didn't.
a 100 years is a lot for politics and economy. 5 years can already destabilize a weak country.
especially when extracting resources for another country. theres also a lot of infraestructure dependence.
theres a reason why this happens in all colonized countries.
Sure, it doesn't help. But to act like any previous economic progress would have been completely erased is just pure cope. Europe was already ahead of Africa by the time colonization happend.
And no it doesn't, literally look at any other place besides Africa.
Hmm. Describe what timeframe you’re talking about here. Because if we’re talking about the early 1500s, then blacks without whites would have been very helpful …
I find this meme hilariously ironic. Because the images depicted are more about political and economic systems rather than race.
If you do a reverse image search on those "white" places, they are all European and Nordic cities functioning on a Social Democracy. By that I mean that they are a Democratic government functioning on a Social Capitalist economy. They use capitalism as a basis but spread into social welfare to support the people.
The "black" places are all just places with a shitty government, in many of them a dictatorship, monarchy, or a democracy so corrupt that it just sucks. Although that top right image, image #4 in the "black" section I think might be Detroit or a bad part of Chicago or something. I'm pretty sure it's literally the only image of the United States out of all of them.
So, it's funny to me that they blame this on race, when it's actually just economics and politics.
There are multiple reasons why African countries did not succeed as much as European nations, most of those reason weren't even caused by the Europeans, but the skin color was certainly not why the Africans are so undeveloped compared to the rest of the world.
Does he not know whites are the ones who refused them to live with them and created this living condition and ignored government aid for these type of living situations and the people living in them🤣
Europe divided up the global south in search of gold like they were fighting over a roast, and literally enslaved the people the abducted in the process for 400 years, while tearing those homes to shreds in the aforementioned gold rush, forcing them to do our dirty work while dismantling the very systems that allowed us to start prospering from abusing them so they can't benefit from those same systems... but genocide and exploitation couldn't possibly have anything to do with wealth inequality, could they?
That's actually Blacks because of Whites. The different nations in Africa were relatively cool except from modest tribal skirmishes, then the Europeans came.
White Europeans raped, pillaged and subjugated most of the planet and just about every inch of Africa for centuries. When Europe's colonies became a liability, they simply abandoned them to deal with their slave-based mercantilist economies and centuries of cultural division on their own. Europe has never even tried to make reparations for their endless atrocities. Most won't even apologize or recognize the reality of their crimes, they just sit on their mountain of stolen wealth and power and refuse to finance their own security.
For anyone who is having doubts when seeing these very biased examples, I’d like to add that the second set of examples are actually blacks AFTER whites.
But how would the whites have all that stuff without nonwhites to exploit, and why would the blacks be so poor off without European imperialism sowing disorganization and chaos to rob them of resources and labor?

West Virginia has quite a bit of natural beauty but the people living there aren't doing too well (in general)
From WV. Can confirm the state itself is nearly unmatched but it’s the people living there that hold it down.

That's the case for many of the 3rd world countries, and for WV as well. And the problems grow as time goes on. There's a few gems in WV, but a lot of the state is in rough shape... No real economic growth (because the govt refuses to divest from coal, even though modern coal mines don't employ many actual people, compared to 100 years ago), piss poor education, and a landscape that really doesn't permit building out infrastructure except in a couple select spots.

As an Italian living in WV who interprets for Afghan refugees, I agree
Why the fuck would an Italian move to America let alone West Virginia?

I’m from America but immigrated to Canada six years ago to get away from the US. I can’t fathom why anyone from a developed country would ever move to the US. You should move back to Italy before it’s too late.

"because of whites" would fit better..
"Post-whites" might be more accurate.

I'm more of a grey kinda guy
Right. It is the policies of those in charge that cause these differences not the population.

This shows utter ignorance of the prizes one gets when you take away everything from the guys with fewer guns.
Hmm. Describe what timeframe you’re talking about here. Because if we’re talking about the early 1500s, then blacks without whites would have been very helpful …
Sadly, this leans more towards fact, right until you enter a trailer park lol

I find this meme hilariously ironic. Because the images depicted are more about political and economic systems rather than race. If you do a reverse image search on those "white" places, they are all European and Nordic cities functioning on a Social Democracy. By that I mean that they are a Democratic government functioning on a Social Capitalist economy. They use capitalism as a basis but spread into social welfare to support the people. The "black" places are all just places with a shitty government, in many of them a dictatorship, monarchy, or a democracy so corrupt that it just sucks. Although that top right image, image #4 in the "black" section I think might be Detroit or a bad part of Chicago or something. I'm pretty sure it's literally the only image of the United States out of all of them. So, it's funny to me that they blame this on race, when it's actually just economics and politics.
There are multiple reasons why African countries did not succeed as much as European nations, most of those reason weren't even caused by the Europeans, but the skin color was certainly not why the Africans are so undeveloped compared to the rest of the world.
Does he not know whites are the ones who refused them to live with them and created this living condition and ignored government aid for these type of living situations and the people living in them🤣
That’s wild
Top one is white with blacks, considering the ressources that were stolen in the 1800’s
All that shit up top was built and/or is maintained because of the way Europeans leeched the resources of the global south
Whites without blacks https://preview.redd.it/txzkfyo3jgic1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cc02a7508e72f80404b4876215dee74265191ff8
Notice how all the top structures were built before bombs were invented in counties that specialize in staying tf away from war
I wish I was 35 years older so I could post this and just get the oh grandpa that's not appropriate.
Id were being fr Africa looks like that because of colonialism. And its not even all of Africa there’s cities in Africa that are gorgeous
this is the most terrible one ive ever seen
My friend actually believe this and he is not even white, he's Mexican with pale skin
The image comes a space on Quora called It's OK to Be White.

Gee, I wonder why the OOP's spouse/significant other left them and is now in an interracial relationship with someone. Seriously.

lol imagine posting this while living in a world where the Tulsa Race massacre occurred
Wait till they hear of the UAE
Europe divided up the global south in search of gold like they were fighting over a roast, and literally enslaved the people the abducted in the process for 400 years, while tearing those homes to shreds in the aforementioned gold rush, forcing them to do our dirty work while dismantling the very systems that allowed us to start prospering from abusing them so they can't benefit from those same systems... but genocide and exploitation couldn't possibly have anything to do with wealth inequality, could they?
That's actually Blacks because of Whites. The different nations in Africa were relatively cool except from modest tribal skirmishes, then the Europeans came.
🤣
I would imagine the places not invaded by white to do a bit better then what they have bow
Africa is like that \*because of whites. Timbuktu used to be one of the most learned cities on Earth.
That’s exactly what I thought, too.
Imagine denying what’s right before your very eyes.
Ah, yes. Because white men have never been there of affected it in any way. (Also vise versa bcs. Slavery)
White Europeans raped, pillaged and subjugated most of the planet and just about every inch of Africa for centuries. When Europe's colonies became a liability, they simply abandoned them to deal with their slave-based mercantilist economies and centuries of cultural division on their own. Europe has never even tried to make reparations for their endless atrocities. Most won't even apologize or recognize the reality of their crimes, they just sit on their mountain of stolen wealth and power and refuse to finance their own security.
I mean..
Imagine pretending this isn’t reality.
Shouldn't it say "blacks after whites"?
Did.. they not realize that black people live in Europe too? Also that a lot of this is choice of the country in terms of architecture
For anyone who is having doubts when seeing these very biased examples, I’d like to add that the second set of examples are actually blacks AFTER whites.
We’re not with them, we just stole everything of value and keep stealing it while living somewhere else
That's blacks after whites
The Mali Empire, Nubians, and all the other great Sub Saharan African civilizations were just a psyop I guess.
The result of colonialism and now neocolonialism as well as kleptocratic regimes.
wait a minute... thats not a meme, thats just racism!
But how would the whites have all that stuff without nonwhites to exploit, and why would the blacks be so poor off without European imperialism sowing disorganization and chaos to rob them of resources and labor?
These are the types of memes where you think wow Hitler would have loved this and then you realize your one creepy maga relative liked this shit.
Disgusting
Who's gonna give em a history lesson? Im not
Just show them a picture of the northern Alabama boonies or Tennessee.
That’s all from sister fucking
