I believe it is unfair to state that Africa's identity is aids, warfare and poverty or whatever that article about the word African American stated. All those negatives were imported into the continent by the neo-slave, colonial forces that still control the communications systems and the riches of that continent. The word is obbviously appropriate and if the ignorance which characterized the average American vis a vis the rest of the world and particularly of Africa is permeated into the brain of people of African descent, fault the US media for this problem. Most Americans are ill informed about the rest of the world because of the arrogance and essential domination of American culture in other parts of the world. Also, I have been observing that it is to the advantage of the country (US) to discourage Blacks from taking pride in their homelands because that may trigger massive exodus, least it may cause Blacks to to abandon their identity with the land of the 'free' and home of the 'brave'. Those of us who have had the opportunity to live in or to 'see' other parts of the world and of the continent are aghast at what the others are allowed to know about Africa. The TV missionary oriented depictions of starving children and dismal village squallar, of warring half ragged people is what America loves to show the descendants of that homeland. The other view, of malls and modern settings of ethnic groups who claim Africa and will fight to remain there to inhabit the best of that land. None of that image will be shown to the unsuspecting patriot of the US. This kind of media hype keeps Americans dumb and viewed as the most ignorant of visitors or tourists or just ignorant right at home about the world. What is the reason for this blot out of truth? Beats me. I love the continent, the people of intelligence are abundant. Many breath taking scenes in landscape and endless possibilities exist there. The truth is every nation invaded that continent and the aftermath remains of settlers who seek to continue their lives of relative comfort and their control of the resources of that continent. We need an exodus to that part of the world for those whose ancestors were forced across the ocean.
