I saw this video today and decided it was worth a share. A lot of people have been jokingly (or perhaps somewhat seriously) telling me to not get shot or kidnapped or get my head chopped off. When you think about it, despite the fact that they are kidding (and I am not innocent of jokes, here), all of these ideas come from stereotypes that people have about African people. Thus, I think this video is a great and funny reminder that we might want to watch how we think. :)
