I understand what she is trying to say but I am not buying it. African countries are black run. The school system, media is black. So, if the masses don't know then their own people don't want them to know.
I am also going to push back. She tryna say that she and others don't know...they know. I have met enough (and not enough of them) Africans both on and outside the continent that have a natural connection to me, us.
This is part cap and an excuse. Slavery ended 150 years ago roughly, colonialism ended in the last 60 year more or less depending on the country. So, there are plenty of people still alive who lived through it. Not only that these days with the internet they know exactly what we are facing over here. Africans under 30 grew up with black American culture. I have seen them them say something is 'lit' 'its cap' etc,
This is not an ignorance issue, its a character issue. Just like the coons in America. Its a character issue.
