Africa for Norway

Reminds me of the time that Idi Amin claimed Britain was starving and that Uganda had to help them out. Idi got his people to part with some moldy bags of grain, a couple dozen live chickens, and a goat which he then flew to London (in a plane previously donated by the Brits, of course). It made for some good guerilla (or is that “gorilla”?) theater.

Although the video is amusing, the creators are less so.

They take the stance that the only images we see of Africa are ones of AIDS, war, genocide, hunger and want. So that’s how we assume all of Africa really is. No problem there, it’s pretty darn close to the truth. The creators, though, want people to believe that there’s more to Africa. You know, human capital of the sort that could cure cancer, or put a monkey on the moon.

They believe that fund-raising shouldn’t be based on exploiting stereotypes. True, as far as the $PLC goes, perhaps.

They want to know about positive stories coming out of Africa. They may need to search high & low for them, but think the media should blare forth when one happens to be found.

The media should show respect, and follow the same standards in Africa as they do at home. You know, neglect to report Africans’ flashmobs, riots, graft, genocide, etc.

Aid should be based on real needs, not good intentions. Mass sterilisation would be a good start.

“You see any Africans heading toward you wielding a radiator, I suggest you duck. Chances are they’re only planning to cave in your skull you with it before snatching all your valuables”.

This video could help change that. It’s so funny! There’s a tiny bit of sexual suggestion in the video too. It makes it even funnier!

“there is no way blacks could even organize to make this video by themselves………. what’s the truth behind this joke?”

Funny! I should have tried to make a funny comment, too.

Hopefully, this will scare Africans from going to Norway because it’s too cold. . .

On another note, did anyone notice the Muslim names in the credits? Islam really is trying to devour Europe; not much has changed in almost fourteen centuries.

Norway needs urgently more condoms, When Africans rape norwegian women they should wear them so that they can’t spread aids.

Without doing any research on this video (other than watching it once) I am prepared to make two assertions that I would wager any amount of money to be true:

1. It was conceived, organized, produced and funded entirely by Europeans and not Africans;

2. The black performers were not volunteers (the norm for “charity” gestures of this type), they were paid. Blacks not only wouldn’t donate material goods to whites, they wouldn’t even donate their time doing something enjoyable, like singing. So the whole thing is really just a make-work program for otherwise unemployable “Afro-Scandinavians” (yes, I realize there’s really no such thing as an Afro-Scandinavian).

Although obviously satirical or some sort of spoof, the makers of the video are NOT our kind of people. What is being satirized here is not the ludicrousness of the idea of generous African largesse toward needy Europeans, but rather the “racist”, “monocultural”, “outdated” European view that international assistance is a one-way street, where whites do all the giving and blacks do all the taking. The “message” of the piece is that Africans DO in fact give back to us: they give us the invaluable gifts of their warmth, their smiles, their songs, their carefree nature, their love of life, their SOUL.
So the self-hating Nordics who made this propaganda are using the radiator (a white invention, needless to say) as the symbol of the warm African heart which — when imported in sufficient numbers — will thaw the cold, calculating Calvinist rationalism of the heartless, soulless, unemotional Northern Europe. And thereby make the world a better, browner place.

This reminds me of a passage in Bob Geldof’s autobiography “Is That It?” which he wrote shortly after the 1985 Live Aid concerts.

After the Band Aid record a black guy asked Geldof if he would help a group of black artists make a charity record because “theyz black folks dying, man!”. Of course Geldof agreed but then explained in the book that he heard nothing more about the project. That’s because there is an unwritten rule that it is the role of whites to help black Africans. Or, to put it another way: whites give, blacks receive.

When you got time for satire and funzy Youtube films you arent in need of more of our resources and guilt. ANd I love the comment about all blacks and satire being suspect.
