Everyone has these images of Africa
and its not, its not your fault as Americans you know I understand
As Americans, Americans don’t know much about South Africa
I have realized in my time here
you don’t know much about Africa as a whole, which is...
well you guys don’t know much about anything, but that’s not...
that’s not your fault, you guys are so big and "Americasentric" you know?
and you don’t get outside images, you don’t see anything
In fact in my time in America the only thing I have seen of Africa
is always those ads, have you seen those commercials?
those UNICEF ads and those, have you seen those?
they are asking you for the money
I hate those ads, they don’t even warn you that those things are coming on T.v
I am just sitting there enjoying comedy shows
and the next thing you know, you just see this horrible village
its just dirty and this old rusting buildings
and these sad black people
and I am looking and I am like
oh, where is that? Cleveland?
and then this thing comes up, like Africa
Really?
Where?
and then they show you thew starving people, its always the same
they always have the starving look, they always do the pose.
they always have that "why haven’t you called" look
one by one
and they show you these people
its a starving mother and a starving child and it's horrible
and then there's a celebrity, there’s always, the most important thing is a celebrity
who comes out and they speak for them
what way we will understand
