Not to be a party pooper, but where tf are you folk hearing about this? I can't get a fact check on this story anywhere. msn.com "reporting" what people are sharing on social media doesn't count, as Yankee mass media cannot be trusted any more than Russian.
This feels very disinfo to me - using the black female president of another country to accelerate the race war in the USA. Just because it's something I like to hear, or something I agree with, doesn't mean it's legit.
What I have found, from The Namibian today,
I hope everyone holds off sharing this "story" til a reliable site backs it up. There's a reason it's posted as a text image in a humour community, and not on worldnews or something.
Thank you. I was trying to figure out if this was a fake story in !funny or a true funny story.
@cm0002@lemmy.world would you mind adding a [fake news] mention?
Thanks for this.
Yeah - this seems designed to go on Facebook to bait “lol Namibia isn’t even a real country” and comments about her physical attractiveness.
Exactly. It'll rile up the "eating dogs and cats" nazis, for sure. But just like here, it'll get amplified as well by people who love the idea of Namibia kicking Yankees out of the country, or who are just excited to contribute commentary about Namibia's awesome, stylin' Pres.
And anyone deliberately amplifying it can easily post a link to Namibia's visa requirement changes, knowing hardly anyone's going to click through, much less check the details. Sucks that she had to take time out of her workday to issue the denial. It's so frigging frustrating. I'd like to post her press release everywhere as a heads-up, but I know the accelerationists want that as well (they don't care about sides, just making the talking point louder).
Not trying to preach to the choir or educate here; just venting.
What an odd coincidence. I recently got off a long phone call with my uncle, who works at Nintendo. He was discussing a secret "easter egg" in Super Metroid that if you do it you get to see Samus Aran topless at the end of the game. In an amazing coincidence, he mentioned this exact story and can vouch for the veracity of it.
