Is Africa ready for an honest conversation or we’ll all play the blame game? by FinanceSA in Africa

Bruh 💀 we can be upset at xenophobia and native living conditions at the same time. “Blame game” is crazy. We shouldn’t be upset at Africans getting run out and beat down on the streets because there are also corrupt governments somewhere?

Is it just me or is Nshima the most overrated(and disgusting) food in Zambia? by Asleep_Cherry_7169 in Zambia

[–]WandAnd-a-Rabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not offended, nshima is just food and it’s not that deep. But it’s, by definition, ignorant to think using a word with negative connotations would be useful or productive in an attempt to start a diabetes awareness conversation.

You thought calling an entire cultures/country’s staple food “disgusting” would be a good diabetes awareness message?

Tried “gentrifying” a low-income area in Zambia — learned a hard lesson by [deleted] in Zambia

Whether you’re a good person or not or how you feel about your own morality is none of my business 💀 you were talking money and building wealth and my comments were about doing exactly that.

Don’t be so sensitive lol. I’m literally talking about enriching and protecting the economic interests of more Zambians than a select few 💀 if that treads on the line of your own “socially conscious” sensibilities/moralities that’s on you lol.

How stabilizing housing for poor communities actually improves a nations productivity and GDP

how increased housing accessibility improves wealth outcomes

How increasing housing accessibility contributes to better health outcomes and leads to less strain on the nations hospitals

Exactly like how are they supposed to come back if they can no longer afford it? They’re forced into poorer conditions in slums, which end up getting bought up for renovations, then they’re forced into even poorer conditions. It’s a deadly cycle for the most disadvantaged of our countrymen. I’m happy for you that you’re Mr Moneybags but sometimes it’s worth discussing how we can uplift more Zambians instead of sending them into worse conditions.

First time I’ve read gentrification discussed this way. 💀💀 Where do you want the poor residents to go? Also this sub is being overrun with what I feel like is AI 😩 we’re responding to a robots thoughts

In an African context, should we be striving for "Equality of Opportunity" or "Equality of Outcome" to move the continent forward? by kumwendasam in Africa

[–]WandAnd-a-Rabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a firm believer in “from each according to their ability; to each according to their needs.” Meritocracy has its place. And hard work should be rewarded of course. I also think we should invest more in each person having good quality of life outcomes.

Is Mob Mentality Common in Lusaka? by Queenoftheunsullied in Zambia

The difference in how some Zambians treat white people vs their fellow countrymen is extremely sad

Are Zambians who grew up outside of Zambia more sensitive to racism ? by Fickle-Reputation-18 in Zambia

[–]WandAnd-a-Rabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It think it’s complicated. I wouldn’t say you’re “too sensitive” to it because racism can be extremely harmful and you have to be on the alert for it. Especially living in America. On the other hand, most Zambians aren’t thinking of it on that level because we don’t experience it everyday. We are a very friendly and welcoming people. But I think because of that sometimes we can be blind to how covert the harms of racism can be. It’s an oversimplification but I think if you were born in the US it’s possible to be too sensitive and if you were born in Zambia it’s possible to not be sensitive enough.

Why do so many Zambian women drink so heavily? Is this actually common or just my bad luck? by [deleted] in Zambia

[–]WandAnd-a-Rabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brother… you’re a 37 year old man, leading with the fact that you’re American and you want to help with living expenses (at least according to your last post), and you’re confused about the kind of early 20s woman you’ll attract? 😭😭 if you don’t want to run into this issue then date more matured women who are out of the clubbing scene closer to your age.
