Africa, the Beautiful....

I know people are tired of hearing this from me. I hate African stereotypes. I don't really get attacked by the stereotypes as often as others because...well, let's just say my family's a little well off. I still hear the stereotypes, though. I hate them. I laugh them off sometimes, or if its just a joke, I'm okay with that, but I really do hate it when people who know nothing about Africa say bad things about. The africans are talking about you Americans, too.


So to clear things up a little bit, I'm going to show some patriotism and some support for the beautiful continent. 

Africa is not a country, it is a continent made up of 53 countries. Some of the prettiest beaches are in Africa. Africa is home to some of the most prosperous nations.

Here are some pictures i found in a Facebook Group called : The Africa They Never Show You.

heres the URL to it:)











And it doesn't stop there. Check out the link I posted to see more of what I'm talking about. Yes, there are some impoverished parts of Africa, and others simply choose to live in the villages. Everybody in Africa does not look they way they are depicted in the media.


With that said, enjoy those pictures, hopefully I made a valid point.
