Love the video? Donate to get the blooper reel: www.stayclassy.org Everyone likes t-shirts! www.teespring.com Wouldn’t it be better if African men weren’t always depicted as warlords or victims? After viewing Mama Hope’s video, “Alex Presents Commando,” Gabriel, Benard, Brian and Derrik (the Kenyan men in this video) told us they wanted to make one that pokes fun at the way African men are portrayed in Hollywood films. They said, “If people believed only what they saw in movies, they would think we are all warlords who love violence.” They, like Mama Hope, are tired of the over-sensationalized, one-dimensional depictions of African men and the white savior messaging that permeates our media. They wanted to tell their own stories instead, so we handed them the mic and they made this video.

I didnt? say that. They can share my culture all day long, I just dont want theirs
Great? video guys ! You´re absolutely right !
Because no blacks could possibly share your? culture.
No one looks down on blacks because of their skin? color, Its a culture clash
Bwahaha that’s what? they get. Payback is A BIATCH.
I’m African born and raised in Africa but living in the US, the reason the Africans in Africa? have no “chips on their shoulders” is because they don’t have to put up with crap and looked down on because of their skin color cause they are the majority. Having experienced both life in Africa and here in the US i can say this country can surely break a black person’s spirit. So don’t be so quick to judge. And judging a whole group of people is stupid cause clearly you haven’t met all black people.
bullshit.?
Your rugby needs more Machine? guns
It’s definitely? not racism, I’m Australian and a terrible number of Americans think that kangaroos jump down our city streets, koalas are cuddly enough to be kept as pets, and we all live like Crocodile Dundee.
Stories need good guys and bad guys, and the good guy will almost always represent the target audience (it kinda has to) So, if it’s an international story, made for white American males (which most of the popular movies are), the rest of us end up the villains.
my yahoo mail full of my long lost nigerian cousin , has a billion dollar in europe? … they need me for getting the money
They should do one video about Muslims and Arabs as they are always portrayed as evil in Hollywood. Lets change the? perception and remove bias.
This video made me laugh.? Though it is sad how much movies can influence people’s view about the world.
Dude, I actually had an American ask? me whether elephants are still used as a mode of transport in India. A strange numbness you experience when people are so misinformed but so much in the world. But I can’t really blame them. That’s how most of us are. Blissfully unaware about stuff we dont care about.
@Zor Sou shut? your dick ass mouth, Zor Sou
… Statistics still don’t? lie. 🙂
Niggers
?
Thank? you.
Yeah, didn’t? see that coming!
they seem to really? like machine guns =)
It says “Mama Hope” the organization. Not? Africa (the continent). Jesus Christ.
we should? because we are spoiled
I was not expecting that rugby? bit at the end. Awesome!
Uh Fanofwar is? about as ignorant as his name….
Very nice video.?
I lived in Africa and I like blacks? from Africa 100% more than I do blacks from America. No chips on their shoulders
