@tinygirl505 what would you have said if the commercial showed white people dancing...lets say somewhere in europe or the US...nothing, you would have probably commended them on a job well done. Now since you see happy Ghanians having a good time...what do you do...you decide to call them monkeys. We are all human beings, the fact that some people produce more melanin than others does not neccessarily make them any different from you. Your view of Africa is skewed please come visit sometime....

Correction,the Muslims in Africa are still Africans, meaning dancing is part of the culture therefore I bet some Muslims can CHOOSE to dance like this. 2ndly this is just a commercial, it does not seek to capture all the cultures across the continent in one video.Its only to capture the energy of the people through dancing. & 3rdly yes, we do have sophisticated commercials showing our other strengths - just enjoy the video & stop trying to make baseless arguments.

@tinygirl505

well, this still does not rule out your initial derogatory comment. Heck, we have all faces of commercials in our African countries...including the "sophisticated" ones you wanna see. So what wrong is it if we wanna dance in a commercial this time?.Yes, you wanna carry a message across but do that with logic & don't contradict yourself to make you look like an ignorant racist. Cos your initial comment was derogatory even though I assume you wanted to criticize google

@QewBeats I wish I could apologize on behalf of the ignorant posters, but it's a sad fact that most Americans don't own passports or even try to see anything beyond our own borders. I traveled across Africa last year and was always treated with respect, kindness, and hospitality. Africans are beautiful people, inside and out, and I owe them a debt of gratitude. Again, sorry for these youtube idiots.

I'm not Ghanaian, but I will say - I'm down with my African brothers and sisters. You guys take it out when it comes to rhythmic body movements. So sexy yet so fun!

P.S: I love Ghana chocolate.

@KlabronH are u Even Ghanaian? We should be helping ourselves, not waiting for someone to help us. U don't sit around in the exam hall waiting for some smart kid to write your papers for you. You write them yourself.

For the record peple in so called "developing" countries are as poor or worse than "developed" countries.

yurp really surprised at some comments here..so you honestly think all we Africans do is wake up in the morning and say to each other in cave men accents."onga banga bongo...oh oh oh" jump around on trees and chase zebras around because cnn/bbc report it to be so..and stupidly enough we have caring and loving hearts that amidst all your racial comments and treatment we cry for you during your disasters(irene,katrina),polit­ical elections and give you the best hospitality when you come here!!
