imaging africa: how western television portrays african culture

[martins2009]

When I watched my favorite shows as a child, I would always see Africa portrayed as if it's all jungles, rain forests and wild animals. Subconsciously, it just never felt right to me.

Ignorance is a disease. They think they know everything about afrika, but they don't know a damn thing!

Thank you so much for putting this out there. I hope alot more people can see this and talk about it. Infact this will referenced in a research paper.

How are you going to take electricity from Africa, when they generate their own electricity? Pure ignorance!

@LabeerehnGbanna Its a comedy scene from The Onion meant to be totally sarcastic... deadpan sarcasm.
