So the US solved racism, womens rights, LGBT issues, etc?

"On March 28, 2022, the Florida Legislature passed HB 1557, the “Parental Rights in Education” bill, also dubbed the Don’t Say Gay bill. This bill prohibits classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity before the 4th grade and requires such instruction to be “age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate thereafter."

"Many are concerned that the bill will not only result in restricted or nonexistent education about the existence of diverse sexual and gender identities, but it will result in a chilly or hostile school climate for LGBTQ educators, students, and families because it suggests that something is wrong with LGBTQ identities."

"Based on surveys of 113 LGBTQ+ parents, this study represents a first look at how HB 1557 is negatively affecting LGBTQ+ parent families in the state. Almost 9 out of 10 (88%) LGBTQ+ parents are very or somewhat concerned about the impact that HB 1557 will have on them and their children, with one in four reporting they have experienced anti-LGBTQ harassment since the law was passed and one in five reporting becoming less out in their communities since the law was passed."

"Parents have considered a variety of coping strategies in response to the bill, including moving out of the state (56%) and moving their children to a different school (11%). Over 16% of LGBTQ parents have already taken steps to move their families to another state."

...And being behind doesnt have to mean very basic or unsophisticated

..... you cannot be serious with this s***.

is being black, gay or trans OUTLAWED in america?

Not even gonna touch that one

you been pushing this semantics agenda since page one, do you not see i‘m dead ass about this s***? there’s a time where semantics matter and for me personally, it is now. if you can‘t relate that’s cool but stop tryna gaslight my concerns for how some pepole are talking about my continent. it’s obvious you’re not living the life i am so just shut the f*** up and scroll or genuinely engage in the discussion. b**** ass nigga

lmao oh my god bruh

relatively, yes. we're better than a lot of countries worldwide I don't think it's farfetched to deny that.

However, there are literal states in this country that LGTBQIA+ people do not feel safe in and they don't have the agency or the money to just "move" out.

However, America and the west have played a part in the destabilization of all these same third-world countries and their backwards ways of thinking when it comes to things like LGTBQIA+ issues.

you not in touch with your roots obviously and it’s sad. acting like a tough nigga for white mans likes

Uganda is the s***tiest country I’ve ever been too

Man I just remembered I was leaving Nairobi after 3 weeks there 6 years ago today

What a great experience

Wasn't even in this thread since page 1 and your literally playing semantics lol

And what the f*** are u even talking bout

it's nuance on both sides that niggas aint really getting and I get it this a pretty heated subject.

Usually I'm already throwing insults at this point, but two things can be true.

America is ahead of a lot of African countries (by perception, and in their defense nobody saying this is saying America is perfect) but America has played a VERY CRUCIAL part in why a lot of African countries have yet to improve.

we're objectively more progressive on those type of issues but to say that we've "solved" them is ridiculous

What a mess of a thread

yo big dawg, you are kinda dog whistling hella hard

tone it down a bit, at least try to keep the bigotry under some plausible deniability

its not semantics when thats what he said

yall gotta stop entertaining @TrezDolz mans never contributed anything worth brain cells to any online argument.

Who killed captain alex a classic so ima ignore this

Yes america and europe is the reason why most of these africans countries are behind. I don't see why acknowledging that they are actually behind is a bad thing.

And I'm saying this as someone that's Nigerian. Other africans will litteraly say the same thing, never met any africans that would say African countries haven't been f***ed and behind in terms of progress as they should be

Uganda never recovered from the Knuckles meme
