It’s sad Africa is so dangerous and corrupt because it’s the most beautiful land in the world with amazing wildlife

Let's get specific and talk about Johannesburg, then. Africa is a giant continent and it is totally disingenuous to even group adjacent countries together.

Facts aren't racist. Black people have significantly higher violent crime rates than other races. Like 7 times higher. The reason a city like Boise is safe is mostly due to demographics.
Who is more than likely to break in to your car? Obama’s kid or a poor white guy drugged on meth?

Most places in Africa are infinitely safer than NOLA. But there are also much more dangerous places than NOLA in Africa.

Yes because we are comparing a continent to a city.

Still not nearly as violent as the South.

Natives locally are tribal, and thats their limiting issue. Shame they can't find freedom from it.

There are probably a few cities in Africa more dangerous than NOLA. But even NOLA has better infrastructure than nearly any city in Africa. Africa is incredibly corrupt, that’s not really debatable.

Gang violence in specific areas yes, but, it’s not like the residents of Mandeville are being terrorized on a daily basis.

Really because Every African city I have visited proved this statement false?

Well I’ve spent years on the continent in dozens of cities spread across about 8 different countries and yes it’s corrupt.

Well yeah, NOLA sucks. Just spent the weekend in that shithole and have no idea why. It’s garbage. The people in most parts of Africa are much better than the people in NOLA.

God not this again.
Losers appear to be obsessed with Lost Causes of White Supremacy. From the Confederacy to Colonialism.
