So many people talk about Africa as if it's one country. Africa is a continent with 54 individual countries. Each country has its own language and culture.
Well the colonizers founded those countries. It's just separated by tribalism. Thanks to white people. If you recognize South Africa as a legitimate country for example that's an issue.
I think she was impressed by the fresh fruits and veggies. the organic-ness of it all not the fact that they have a grocery store. She was showing off the motherland and yall want to make it something it's not.
@@ayDursi it was the visual for me . but take it how you want. I felt like she was showing it off because it IS much better than the grocery stores in the west. bigger and better. I can understand why you would feel like it was mocking if youre accustomed to this level of grocery store but she was genuinely (albeit goofily) showing Zimbabwe off. We simply dont have that. There are many areas in the US that dont have grocery stores because of environmental/zoning racism to this day. Tiff is from south central LA... she was sowing yall off.
@@k.b2457 I see where you're coming from and I do agree that the intent seemed to have been genuine. I don't think she was trying to be malicious. I appreciate you being a part of the conversation.
If she had education about Africa, she would know that Africa is a continent… and everything is not 3rd world lol they are mansions, beautiful infrastructure, and museums all over Africa 🤦🏽♀️
As a European it is strange to me that people who say they are proud African -Americans don't seem to know anything about the African part, even look down on Africans. Yes Africa has problems, but there are also amazing things happening all over Africa.
@@22gtrotter I completely agree. Unfortunately, the media has done a disservice to black Americans about Africa and Africans about black America. But my issue with Tiffany Haddish is... You're half African and you've been back a few times. Smh
@@ayDursi I see. I don't know who this Tiffany Haddish is, but hearing she has been to Africa before and still makes a video like this is even worse than i thought..
as a European you dont know anything about our relations. dont spit this narrative. Every black American is aware of how we were conditioned by you to think a certain way. And here you are doing it again.
😂🤣 I get the point of this video.. but I somehow think she was just having fun and probably don’t mean anything bad about it… I feel like we people at times try to make a thing out of anything .. I would love for someone to interview her and ask her what the thinking was behind the video. 😅 this was me when I was in the States for the first time seeing the big ass isles with … everything.. and I’m from Denmark 😂
They drive Rolls Royces, maybachs bentleys lamboz, buggattis and all them big cars in Zimbabwe, they have everything nobody is in the jungle those are just movies and media painting a picture about Africa to those who don't travel 😂😂
Keep in mind Black Americans were sold an image of African countries and its people. The educated can pull up the history to understand. I’ve seen both groups shocked by things when visiting another country. Let’s stop shaming and start teaching one another.
@@mickan.5559 I agree to an extent. Tiffany Haddish has also been to different parts of Africa multiple times though, is half African, and has had private tours with gov officials nice hotels, the star treatment. Her acting surprised at a grocery store just appears to be trolling. But for the general public I agree, media plays a part. That's why messaging like the one Tiffany put out can be misleading.
That is some stupid post and a bit racist if u ask me as an african. We are used to our lighter cousin doing so, but a fellow black person and her father was from Eritrea. So sad really.
She still thought all Africans live in villages, and dirt lands...and they hunt their food especially in South Africa where they basically live how Americans live...I will say Africa isn't portrayed well in the states unless you been there yourself.
I lived most of my working life overseas and traveled to several countries in Africa. America is separated from the rest of the world by two oceans. Americans live in a bubble. The sad truth is that many of us have negative views of the continent, which are given to us by the dominant culture and its media. Most Americans don't have passports and if black Americans do travel internationally, countries in Africa are rarely the first priority. With this being said, her video was not offensive. She could have done a better job educating viewers and clearly communicating her intent. If you don't, you will be picked apart on social media. PEACE
@@ejacks3 I definitely think the media is also at fault here. However, you're describing the average black American possibly. Haddish is a rich and famous half East African woman who has visited Africa (Including south Africa) multiple times... stayed in nice hotels and was given private tours by the elites and gov officials. An African that believes the media's portrayal of all black Americans being hood is completely ignorant. Vice versa black Americans being shocked at an African country even having a store is also ignorant. Both can be true
@@ayDursiI agree with you, Queen. That’s why I made the point that she could have done a better job at expressing what was the entent of the video. But she has a history of saying the wrong thing over social media. Stay blessed

Most countries have several languages and cultures as many of the countries are very big. It's a vey diverse place
Let them know 👏

She kept repeating the fact that she's in a Grocery store in Zimbabwe. Barely mentioned fruits.

Thank you 😊 all facts!!!

Isn’t the problem European? 😭
@@22gtrotter Completely agree!

😂😂😂 LETS BE HONEST… AFRICA ISNT PORTRAYED IN THE BEST LIGHT TO AMERICANS😂😂😂 I FIND IT FUNNY‼️‼️
@@jew-el1 The media is definitely at fault too.

@@belindanaarlamlejohnson4250 I agree, I don't think she meant any harm by it either 🤭
the funniest part about it is that she’s not the only American that thinks like that … colonialism did its thing hey
It's a pretty common stereotype unfortunately.
They drive Rolls Royces, maybachs bentleys lamboz, buggattis and all them big cars in Zimbabwe, they have everything nobody is in the jungle those are just movies and media painting a picture about Africa to those who don't travel 😂😂
It's amazing what's not yet common knowledge
People need to get their passports and explore the world 😂😂😂😂
What was she thinking? Do people not live in africa? Dont they shop for good? Tf
Sad because she's half African smh
🤔..... I just don't get why Sistas continue to pack all of makeup on their faces when we-(BM) have told them over & over that we don't like it. Smh
I'll add that Tiffanny is also a beautiful woman with or without makeup.

Agreeably ignorant. Thanks for adding to the conversation and I hope you enjoy my other content as well.

That's fair. I think the media has given black Americans a poor portrayal of what Africa is like, and the same is true vice versa.
She’s trolling. Her dad is Ethiopian or some East African country. This isn’t her first time in Africa. She’s trolling.
@@rachelscott4425so if that’s the case why is she trolling?? I’ve never seen an African trolling like that. It’s wierd and disrespectful
