Africa is a country too!



I think what's really sad is how many White and Black Americans have drank the media served kool-aid on Africa being the home of barbaric warlords, backwards savages that wear loin cloths, AIDS, civil wars, genocide, and other evils...unaware that this is the most one sided perspective anybody could ever give about a continent with 59 countries. And it's obviously rooted in extreme ethnocentrism, racism, and biased views based on severe miseducation.
It's like yo, I'm Nigerian. My dad has put me onto the publications and periodicals about Nigeria and other African countries and what doesn't get covered in American media is truly sickening.
You don't hear about development in Lagos but you do hear about Angelina Jolie flying out somewhere to give poor African kids kisses and hugs in the most empty and shallow fashion that could ever be displayed.
