Okay, while this song is beautiful in it's message: Fellas, if you're drinking blood or cannibalizing your own, that's some universally fucked up shit. (Looking at you, the vast majority of Africa!)
Hi, I'm Norwegian. One of our national dishes is blood puddling, and you can buy pigs blood in grocery stores. Consuming blood is common all over the world anywhere where resources have traditionally been scarce, because you can't afford to waste parts of an animal. That being said, you are seriously misinformed about Africa. Cannibalism doesn't happen in any culture on earth outside of shockingly racist pulp stories from a century ago, and even cattle blood drinking is mostly exclusive to the Maasai people. There are about 2 million Maasai people in Kenya and Tanzania, and 1,200 million people in Africa. The vast majority of Africa isn't what they show on Fox. TL;DR: This song is about you.
@@gnaskar Consuming blood is generally only done as a cultural thing when the blood has been cooked, or otherwise processed. But large populations of people just straight-up drinking raw blood en masse is how you get all kinds of diseases. Additionally, the cannibalism thing is extremely common in war-torn areas in many countries when the bodies start dropping and food simultaneously becomes extremely scarce. This has been happening off and on for the past 50 years or so in various African countries. Equating "This is something desperate people are doing, and the only area with people currently in the right situation and desperate enough to do it just happens to be Africa" with racism is a racist assumption.

This song is "Us and Them" by Rudyard Kipling, music by Leslie Fish
The proper title is "We and They"
This poem/song certainly contradicts the view that Kipling was a bigot!
