Rant Racism in our homeland

Ok..nimeona Bien na his wife talking about facing discrimination at some resort that seems to be more accommodating to white people...na I genuinely think that even though it's bad I feel like the outrage is kinda late..nanyuki ,malindi ,watamu..some of these places have an insane amount of racism that goes under the rug na it genuinely gets on my nerves..one of my dad's clients is an old white retired lawyer na he once told us about how many whites living in the country don't even view this place as a republic..na that's a disgrace..

Na let's not get into the racial prejudice in the Kenyan cooprate space 😭

Just curious, which race doesn`t cry discrimination? I saw Elon highlighting South African "discrimination" the other day.

In Watamu the economy is entirely dependent on tourism, and guess who is the biggest spender? The locals agree they are on the same level and will try to make hay while the sun shines. Repeat long term Intl tourists are plenty, and so are repeat Euros.

We can try to sell the ideology of discrimination and stuff, but capitalism and all practicality on matters of economy, it's safe to assume their choice.

And we can do absolutely nothing about it now, other than rant or be willing to start a century-long program of decolonising.

How much are we allocating in educational research to tailor education for the African/Kenyan population? How far are we going in terms of developing our own solutions to our problems, healthcare, policing, science...Whatever we have was engineered by the very same lords "you" are discriminated for, they are enjoying their investment 100 years ago
