You cannot blame people for believing what they see.

However, there are Africans here in the US and you would never know that they are African. If you ask them where they're from they say Houston, etc.

Lol! I can not believe that some Africans lie and say they're American.They're probably ashamed coz of what the media shows.LOL.They r crazy.

I agree africans use theis talent to get money. Actually you can consider them working for it I don't consider them begging. My broter think you are very very very pretty. We luv you sis! My husband said hi he is out of town. My african friends come over and look at your videos, they love you to death.

I really wish Africans would stop looking at themselves as third class citizens.

Dont take the negative comments too serious. A lot of them come from the same people who benefit from showing those starving kids pictures. In america one of the laws of business is knowing who your competition is. Your vid makes you a threat to all who profit off of starving kids and trust me they will post negative comments to make you leave the topic alone. Right is right and you are right so keep speaking truth and your heart is in the right place at all times.....peace my sister ..smile.

Tari, I have heard of an NGO which makes loans to groups of women in third world countries. They are very good stewards of the money, and 90% of the time pay it back with interest. I think empowering women worldwide is very important, and it takes so little money from those of us in "developed" countries. I like your intelligence and depth of thought in your videos. Thanks for posting them. You are making a difference a continent away.

1. All people are the same. No ones are better than the other. I am not completely refuting what you say though, there is nothing wrong with national pride.

2. I know that Africa is not a third world country. I have friends at my University from Sudan, Lebanon, South Africa, Ethiopia and Egypt. I am not excusing ignorance but the only view of Africa is the same thing that Tari is talking about... starving children.
