It’s incredibly racist that the Olympics have never been hosted by an African country

South Africa maybe 10+ years ago (ie when they hosted the World Cup in 2010) The country sadly has been in a downward economic spiral for the last decade with gdp per capita declining sharply, infrastructure crumbling and no end in sight.

Who's to blame for that?

Think it’s pretty clearly the corrupt government

Typical White colonialists, ruining it for everyone!

Yeah, I think it was something about taking revenge on the whites that caused problems with investment and growth...

Like on Law & Order, it’s always the white guy’s fault.

That was appalling (as a rape victim - like we don’t already feel guilty and ashamed?).

Pp. sorry, I thought you were referring to the recent episode when the white women who were raped victimized their Black assailant.

Um, I do realize many young people in your generation share your admiration for Wakanda, but I feel the need to inform all of you:

- Wakanda is a fictional place which does not actually exist.

So Wakanda is just another country like Africa?!?!?!

Sudan or Somalia

You live in a dream world, read up on these 2 places and realize that can’t happen. It’s like me wishing I was a billionaire.

That's the joke...

Do you have any idea about the cost of the Olympics for the host country? Ask Athens how paying for the 2004 Olympics worked out for them.

Or Montreal '76.

Most African counts can even feed their own citizens. They have no clean water. They have no infrastructure to support their own county! You want these country to host thousands of tourists and build venues that will be used once? Money that could be used to feed and house their people. You truly did not think about this. All you care about is racism. Think bigger. Use your pea brain. Why is everything racist?

Canada really is a third world country TBH.

This is a good thing for Africa. Why would they want any county to be billions in debt for those corrupt games?

S. Africa hosted a World Cup. So, Olympics could possibly happen for them if they want it.

Do you have any idea how many different types of venues are required for the summer games? Way more than football pitches.
