Nice post. This is very similar to what we have been talking about in one of my classes- The History of Africa. There is often times this 'fear of one story' where all people of one ethnic background or race are sought as the same. The imperial powers that came to colonize Africa thought that the white man was superior to Africans based solely on skin color, and that is was there overarching duty to 'protect them' and help 'build up' their society. This idea lead to the stereotyping of the Africans as being defined as something they weren't, which lead to this gut wrenching history that we have witnessed and even continue to witness in Africa. Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed!
a patronising attitude really "gets my goat", or annoys me, to put it more plainly. the African people are really a happy lot. all they want are the same things that we all want, but particularly with a strong family orientation.
Yes, we see strong family ties and a close-knit bunch of people residing in Africa, but this is often times troubled by the background and upbringing of the country as a whole. I like your take on this particular subject matter, so giving a follow to read more. Thanks
yes, it is frustrating that often corruption destroys opportunities. If only the chances to improve were more readily available.
