  • Hi.

  • Earlier this month, I made a video about Africa that said, Don't be careful if Africa be excited for its potential.

  • That's a minute most people agreed with that statement, except for a few who said I got robbed in Africa.

  • Look at all these statistics and others called it the shit hole.

  • Then it dawned on me.

  • When it comes to underdeveloped countries, our brains get lazy.

  • We tend to classify, generalize and stereotype.

  • One robbery in Africa.

  • The whole continent is bad.

  • But when it comes to our own countries, we don't generalize.

  • 40 people die in a mass shooting.

  • It's only one guy that's bad.

  • Brown water comes out of the sink.

  • It's only one city.

  • That's the problem.

  • Well, guess what?

  • There are entire countries in Africa that are actually safer than South Side of Chicago.

  • That is a fact.

  • At the end of the day, Africa as a continent is not a shit hole.

  • Your brain is just lazy.

  • That's one minute.

Hi.
