"I want 2 tickets, one-way flight to Africa please"

Attendant: "Umm ok sir, What country in Africa???"

Sincere : "Cmon ma'am, you know that place you see in national geographic wit all those black tribal people wit spears n sh*t"

Do you have the same complaints when people in movies say they're going to Australia, or India, or China? Those are huge countries (and Australia is a whole continent). Or is it just cuz a black man in a black movie is going to the motherland, a black continent, you had to find something to complain about?

reply

Are you serious, Africa is a continent comprised of 54 countries. Comparing it to China or India is just nonsensical. You don't see people saying "Let's go to Asia" because that's the equivalent to "Let's go to Africa."

Kool-Aid drinker are we. Too bad Trump didn't extend the travel ban to ALL of Africa.

I blame Hollywood and its everlasting hypocritical racism, with its stereotype of Africa being 'one country,' instead of a continent with over 50 different nations.

The conservative establishment (dominated by the white man, of course) in the Western cultural landscape, continues to support that type of ignorance - making minorities seem primitive and uneducated.

I can imagine Nas and T-Boz un-dressing themselves to be nude (with the natives), as soon as their flight touches down in Africa......LOL
