Hm, I just have to get this off my chest.
It makes me feel so sad when I realise that American children/teens/adults have such a poor understanding of Africa.
Lol, NO, we don't live in huts. Okay. We don't freakin' keep lions and elephants as pets. All the wildlife is actually restricted to reserves. They DON'T run around freely!
Okay, and, believe it or not, South Africa, (where I live) is the most developed country in Africa. There's ECONOMY, CIVILIZATION etc. here. It's not like we live in some barren land in huts and wear LOIN CLOTHS or some shiz like that.
OH and the AIDS thing. As far as I know, lots of people, expecially AMERICANS!
