This feels very disinfo to me - using the black female president of another country to accelerate the race war in the USA.

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.
