 The fact that Ishowspeed is touring in Africa rn and people are like “THEY HAVE CARS??? AND INDOOR PLUMBING?????” People seem so balls deep in the propaganda machine that I have to assume it’s some kind of joke I’m not in on

Unfortunately the average American is deeply propagandized & has no true understanding of what any country outside of America looks like… Hell the average American doesn’t have a true or realistic understanding of any state outside of the one they grew up in.

Their worldview is based on a video or Scholastic news article about one remote village meanwhile there’s multiple cities of like 10M+ people in Africa that obviously are going to have cars and indoor plumbing and a lot of the other modern necessities of life

I genuinely thought our age group of gen z was the last to believe that racist myth, because I remember being in middle school and learning that wasn’t true. Never really thought about it since then.

Also coming from the most chronically online generation, has no one ever randomly gotten a TikTok from someone in Africa where they have supermarkets and shit that they’re showing off?? I’ve gotten at least 10 of those that I can remember

Like all it took for me was to see one picture of a city in Kenya when I was like 8 to be like “oh okay, they’re chilling over there” but grown ass adults are still shocked that this whole ass continent isn’t living in mud huts and shitting on the floor 😭😭 I’m glad Speed is there!!! It’s tearing down the veil for a lot of people it seems

That is good! I honestly didn’t know who he was til recently because he’s from the city I live in (Cincy) and he was here on some live stream tour, so I was forced to find out lol. But it sounds like he has a huge, young audience so that’s great impact
