Comment on ‘Darfur Is Dying’ And It’s All A Game? by Speech (Arrested Development)

As Americans, what do you feel is the best approach to helping spread information about struggles in Africa? Keep in mind, the average American, is ONLY fed images of African Wildlife resorts,1 minute news stories on corrupt political leaders and ultra poor / dying children. They have no understanding of the great cities, accomplishments, nor history of the continent. (I ask cuz I’m sincerely Striving to learn)

Comment on Kwaito Singer Mshoza’s Lighter Shade and the Politics of Skin Bleaching in Africa by Rural Dexa

The issue of skin lightning/bleaching vs wearing a weave/braids is a bit like comparing stew to a salad,both are mixes but of a totally different notion and basis.Yes they might hinge on insecurities somewhat relative to societal influenced definitions of beauty but the skin bleaching phenomena has mucch more extreme psychological nuances.I get getting rid of blotches or acne scars etc but suppressing your melanin at cellular level-now that’s like superficial genetic modification-i wonder what her kids think but with media bombarding us with paler Beyonces and our kids in SA only exposed to whitecentric dolls and figurines,they probarbly think-Mom’s cute-now we next!

Comment on Rolling Stone South Africa – A First Look by Adhis

My belief is that it’ll be like most music products coming out of South Africa (channel O, MTV Base) and be too southern centric for my tastes.
What are the credentials of the editors and writers? Are they full continent music connoisseurs?
Thanks for this write-up
