I remember I watched this movie in my friend’s boyfriend’s room and his white roommate said that this movie was “exaggerated”. That African people couldn’t have palaces like that. My black friend agreed with him. I unlocked my phone so fast and showed them pictures of me and my cousins back home in the Ivory Coast. In their 3 story villa. 4 bedrooms, 3 baths. On their cocoa plantation. Pictures of us playing with their Wii. (Yes, Africans have gaming consoles, cell phones, laptops, etc.) With monkeys hanging off the trees in their backyard. I said, “My family is considered upper middle class in the Ivory Coast. Imagine what kind of homes the wealthy people live in?“
I’m tired of Americans assuming that the WHOLE ENTIRE CONTINENT OF AFRICA IS POOR. Like, Africa is literally bigger than most other countries on this planet combined. So how is the whole fucking continent fina be poor???????????????????
How are you going to say that not one person on the whole entire continent of Africa can’t live or own a palace??????? The ignorance is so rampant. Like girl it’s just a google search away! People stay blaming the media and how the only coverage of Africa that western society sees is of extreme poverty. (i.e. the late night commercials featuring babies with the swollen bellies and the flies zooming around their heads) But at which point do you recognize your own faults? It especially kills me when Black Americans agree with this ideal that all Africans are in poverty. Because all you have to do is look into it and see
If you don’t believe me just look it up for yourself. Go ahead
