    What i especially hate about rich white Americans crying about vaccine passports is how the US requires Africans to jump through hoops to even visit. It's so invasive...have to show bank statements and other things to "prove" you're not going to abandon your life and stay 🙄

        there are already so many unfair rules around travel and borders, arbitrarily restricting movement. the selfishness of Americans never cease to amaze me. so self-centered in such a dangerous way.

        it's so wild to hang out with my cousins and our abilities to travel are VASTLY different...just because I was born here. Something out of my control! it's bananas! it's unfair. our passport system already encourages apartheid and it's racist!

        Not just black but brown people have to go through the same hoops too.

        Everyone who isn't from America has to jump through these hoops when wanting to come to the US, even Europeans. US immigration laws are a ridiculous joke. Brought to you by the delusion that 'Murica is the best country on earth and the rest of us are lucky to get a piece 🙄

        I'm not from Africa, but it does feel like they look at you as a wild animal that escaped from its pen, and you need to prove you'll 'behave' What gets me is needing to buy a plane ticket & accommodations *before* the visa. And they don't even have to explain why they declined

        Yes it's so expensive to even apply and you put thousands of US dollars on the line. It's ridiculous.

        What's also sad is how the American left has completely abandoned Africa in our calls a peoples' vaccine. Almost 95% of the continent remains unvaccinated largely because of vaccine hoarding, absurd patents and a refusal to share vaccine technologies with African nations.

        To be clear, only poor C. Africans have to jump through hoops. Wealthy Africans, are like Wealthy Asians & Euros et al., the process isnt as onerous because they qualify easily. The prevailing❓is "Why are so many C. Africans poor when every 🌍 has a buttload of resources?

        An employee from Costa Rica was married to a U.S. citizen & had 2 young boys (born here). Renewing his green card was humiliating. He had a folder that was several inches thick, took album w/ yrs of family photos, & he & wife had to answer invasive & deeply personal questions.

        They’d return from those meetings broken and in tears. He eventually became a US citizen and thankfully doesn’t have to go through that any more.
