"There is a heavy set of African American racial stereotypes, on the one hand, and then Black African stereotypes on the other (like “tribal,” “barbaric,” and “pathetic and starving”). Distinctive African cultures are almost entirely invisible to most Americans, Black and White alike"

You echoed my thinking and to add onto that, much information about Africa is missing. Some think it is a country and not a continent. Politics, culture, language, diversity, social life, and much more are yet to be fully explored. Almost every parameter used to gauge Africa is flawed. From credit rating facilities to its potential, every dimension is under explained. I am from Kenya. I write the Startup from Africa newsletter. I am happy for you spotlighting the continent.
