If a mzungu wants "a real african experience" he should go to the rural areas where africans have survived for ages. Places like muranga, chwele, belgut, endebess, bondo etc, not some recently settled illegal settlement aka urban slum which harbors 200,000 out of 45,000,000 kenyans i.e 0.44% of kenya's population. Mzungu should be seeing the other >99% of kenyans, since kibera can never be representative of kenya or africans. 0.44% can never be representative of a population.

And FYI mzungu is still starving in europe in this day and age.

YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT!! the point is PERCEPTION not REALITY!! the Reality is Dangote is very rich... the reality is majority of Kenyans don't live like people in that video.... you can argue reality all day... (i do on elections) but perceptions will always take the day!

agreed... THAT HAS TO STOP!!
Quote:
Schlangen, who had come to Kenya via Egypt, said that he would remember Kibera as a place of hope.

"This made more of an impression on me than the pyramids of Giza," he said.

for anyone who has ever seen the pyramids... especially the 2nd one (the red one) and tried to understand "how the f*ck they built these things millennia ago... shipping thousand s of 70 tonne rocks down stream from Aswan by water and building a structure" that required an earthquake to crack the surface for people to start extracting rocks several millennia later. If the show in Kibera trumps the only standing wonder of the ancient world... it must have been quite a show!!!!

Poverty Porn has to end!! Remember the SNL 39 cents video?
check out the second video here
http://dailypicksandflic...harity-ad-parody-video/
and not end by "hiding it" but rather by really ending it!!

Even in the arid areas, the people are not starving. They are actually cattle and goat millionaires.

@mavegs, what are you trying to say? You are an African too and it seems you enjoy your race being depicted as such by those who control the media. Are you saying we should just accept this perception and move on? What is your point?
