You can also travel to places in Mexico where they treat you like a king like Cancun.

I feel less safe in New Orleans than I do in Cape Town or the surrounding areas.

I hear that blacks in other countries dont think too highly of those in the states. My co-workers wife is from Africa and he told me that her father was amazed that he had a job when they met for the first time. He told him black americans are seen as lazy/entitled where he's from.

I have no fear as I live an ocean away
Also, you being a tourist/visitor I highly doubt you would see the real every day life in South Africa.

Unpopular opinion...it was better off under the Afrikaners and When the world turned it’s back in Rhodesia, Africa was doomed.

Tell that to my friend who fled their as a child with only the clothes on his back with his family.
If you don’t think that there a threat against whites in much of S Africa then you aren’t paying attention to what happens outside the tourist areas.
Girls nailed to tables and raped while their parents are forced to watch before they are murdered.

I have seen plenty of the everyday life in Cape Town. They have slums just like every city, and the nice parts are cleaner than the nice parts of major cities in the States. Now I will say they have issues with petty crime, but not like the violent crime you see in the inner cities in the US.
I just find it interesting that you talk so terribly about a place you've never even been.

You don’t have a fricking clue.
This is like spending a weekend in St.George and acting like 70805 doesn’t have a crime problem.

I'm sorry to hear that about your friend, but don't act like people aren't raped and murdered every day in the United States.
Would you consider the second largest city a tourist area?
Joburg is worse than CapeTown when it comes to this issue, but blindly labeling the whole country that way is naive.

Cape Town has the 15th highest homicide rate of any city in the world. Over 3 times higher than Chicago.

Oh and you do because your friend told you so?

Many church going ppl go because they are afraid of Hell, yet theyve never been there.
There's plenty of pics/videos online showing whats happening there. I dont care to see that shite again so do your own research.

They don't. When I worked offshore, the guys from Africa didn't have any respect for African Americans

Which is still lower than St. Louis Missouri. FWIW the United States has four cities on that list before South Africa has two.

I assume that includes Mitchells Plain which I think gets lumped in with Cape Town but isn't really all that close.
Looked scary as hell though when I drove by.

Go ahead and apply this same logic to Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, and then have the decency to tell us how that worked out for you.
You are being obtuse, and not in any particularly clever way.

Yes and I wouldn’t say that St. Louis doesn’t have a problem with violent crime because I went there for a week and wasn’t murdered.
