Africa Is The Future: Part 2 (Continued from The Seed)

I often think about what other countries think about the images they see of Black people in the media. I'm always most concerned with how this image is taken by our brothers and sisters in Africa. Just as Blacks are given a false image of Africa, I think Africans are given a false image of Black people. Just as a European or Asian may look at Blacks with a sense of disgust, I think this is true for some Africans also. This sense of disgust helps contribute to a disconnect that already exists between the two cultures due to the the negative images many Blacks hold towards Africans.
