A friend just sent me this link, and upon seeing the title, I really hoped it would be something positive – because I wish Africans all the best in their own countries. Well… it wasn’t exactly what I was hoping for, but it is good for a laugh:
Let’s be fair; we shouldn’t hold it against people that they’ve never encountered escalators before. This doesn’t mean we can’t get a good laugh out of it – and there’s no doubt in my mind that many of the “victims” in the video will laugh at themselves, when they view it years later.
But what’s more uplifting is knowing that there’s enough of a middle class there to support the mall. All the best to Cameroonians. Enjoy the shopping (but don’t overindulge in the food court).
I was thinking the same thing. It would make me very happy to see black Africa succeed and become a prosperous, productive, and safe part of the civilized world.
I knew an African many years ago that was new to this country. He gained
employment. He was told to make a call from a telephone booth. He had no
experience with such things. He stared in horror at the telephone and booth.
Soon to be America’s fate. Luckily, we disposed of those racist devices.
Somehow, telephone booths are a legacy of slavery.
