Stereotypes Bringing Africa Down. by TheMaverick(f): 4:56pm On Jul 16, 2013
[b][/b][color=#000000][/color]Africa is a beautiful continent with its fair share of economical, political, health problems, the list is endless. But across the continent the greatest pandemic seems to be stereotyping each other's cultures and being inconsiderate about it. Thus this holds back the youth out there to venture out and create opportunities for themselves, whilst working with other Africans. Its very disappointing how we quickly accept the European culture regardless of our societal norms. Some of our fellow Africans lack the ability of self-introspection. A phenomenal Nigerian writer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie once wrote that "the thing about stereotypes is not that they are untrue but that they are incomplete". So with that being said, no matter where you are and who you are , take a step back before insulting others' way of living. Respect, tolerate it.And remember that you're human first, then you're black and then you're African. Let's us try to understand each other for a better way of life.[b][/b]
