A few samples ... http://media.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/photo/world/africa/images/02a.jpg'> A 16-year-old OvaHimba woman cradles her infant in the remote homestead of Otjekwa, Namibia. Driven from their original home near the Namibia-Botswana border by cattle raiders in the mid-19th century, the semi-nomadic OvaHimba migrated to Angola. After World War I, they resettled in a dry, mountainous region near Namibia's Skeleton Coast.

Flow ish Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 In the vast Kejetia Market in Kumasi, Ghana, women pick their way past an assembly line where shoes are crafted from old automobile tires. Sprawling across 25 dusty acres in the ancient Ashanti capital, Kejetia is one of the largest marketplaces in West Africa. I've been to that place, it's crazy! It's just behind this train station, the tracks go through the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapo returns Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 i wish theyd show the more civilized parts of Africa. i hate when they depict Africa as nothing but jungle people with plates in the lips and shit. i know its more interesting and it is true - but there is more than that. i was glad when i saw the pic of the guy on a motorcycle, but then he had to have a fuckin monkey on it. what the fuck? most Africans seem to hate us over here in the US. why i dont know. Suge Knight made a point of that on Bill Maher and I was glad he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just dont like Africa being made a spectacle, thats all. and what did you say about owning a gun or 23? i own guns as well. i am not impressed.

Did you actually look at the pictures?

I just dont like Africa being made a spectacle, thats all. I dunno. Modern Africa looks a lot like modern America. Far less interesting than the rituals, beliefs, and ways of life of tribal people.
