Question: what do Black South Africans and Black Americans have in common?

Answer: They are both victims of white supremacy.

Information from: White Supremacy: A Comparative Study of American and South African History By George M. Fredrickson. 

The effects of slavery still lingers in South Africa and the US.

Here is a song from a movie called “Sarafina,” it shows the world the struggle by black South Africans.

I laugh..

Indeed, IGNORANCE is BLISS!!
I don’t blame her (ethnocentric)..
I blame the person who invited her to Nigeria in the first place.
Nigeria used to welcome guests like Queen Elizabeth and other important people..
Now.. we are entertaining the Kardashians..

Never go up to an African and say “Hakuna Matata” (I know lots of you will still do it, LOL).

Info from Google Scholar:
The producers used an African National Park called Hell’s Gate National Park in Kenya as the setting of this movie.
“hakuna matata“- Swahili phrase which means “There are no worries.”

Look at the picture  below: Swahili is spoken in East African Countries (Info from Stanford.edu; click on the picture to read the full article). Yellow shaded regions are countries where Swahili is spoken the most.

ImageNext time you meet an African from Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi feel free to say “Hakuna Matata” (only when it is appropriate or you will embarrass yourself..LOL!).

 *Never assume they know the language, it is more wise to ask first*
