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. http://www.thedailybeast...overty-says-unicef.html

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! All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

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!! All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

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

We should view the glass as half full, not half empty. We should move from the mzungu driven stereotype of us being a poverty and disease stricken, non-thinking, useless and hopeless race.

The leadership need to make that 100% so that these wazungu's don't have anyone to use to make those videos. by the way, in some places like Detroit, Mississippi and Jackson there are some extremely poor peeps. but not of course to this level. i.am.back!!!!

Perceptions are not objective things... that is why I feel like @hardwood is missing the point. I don't enjoy how my race is being depicted - obviously this depiction has to change and the status quo is working for some people and keep on propegating it we can tackle it in 2 ways 1) create a narrative that depicts africans in a certain way (then crackdown on people who spread other "falsehoods"). this is what India does fairly well. 2) Accept that we cannot control information flow and strive to fix the problem itself - just ensure that the very least of our society (who are now our image in the minds of others) are uplifted. you pasting links on the fish industry in western kenya does not mean that those images will show up in the minds of others thinking about africa.

You can't walk into those deprived areas to make videos on the suffering Americans. You will be arrested pronto and deported back to Kenya. But here in kenya some brainwashed locals are even advertising and offering slum tourism. The more the suffering and more gory the pictures, the more money they make (now you know why Waiguru was chased out of kibera and her toilets burnt to the ground). When your mum is naked, it is very stupid to call the whole world to witness the spectacle. These slum tourism folks should be in kamiti.

Tuliza boli, uwanja mdogo. The TRUTH will set us free. mmhhhh... I always use facts....this is like Itumbis anthem Fact I shit today Fact It was dark shit Question Was it Guiness? Was it disease? Itumbi's anthem about facts is the most stupid argument I've ever heard in my whole life. Now that's a fact!!!! I still say... I don't think on wazua we have ever met a more stupid character. There was one njungunas who was actually Itumbi. But this particular online user name is just plain stupid. Just stupid. I'll join akina maka in looking for the silence button. First time I have ever blocked anyone in my life. Lakini wewe ni mjinga kupindukia. A thread about a very poor family where the children are taking care of other children and you just have to bring out Itumbi's line about the "evil" society. Those pictures are horrible. Just horrible. But you just have to bring up politics in your stupidity. You are like Dick Chenny. Such an evil character he had to get an artificial heart since his human heart couldn't take such hate. Hakuna ujinga kuliko hapo. Let me drop my mike. Leo niko na konyagi, don't see why a fool should destroy the lemon cane taste Thieves are not good people. Tumeelewana?
