I actually just responded to someone on LinkedIn who was outraged by this. I think it’s pretty awesome but unfortunate that trumps comments came so close to its release - slightly changing the smell of the air around it. I love the idea of taking over a derogatory phrase and using it to encourage us to visit Africa and debunk stereotypes about the continent. I think it’s daring.

I think it’s a great idea

Daring, ballsy, something advertising sorely needs today. I see its purpose is to start a conversation also.

However, as a Latino, I know my opinion doesn't have as much weight as it does for my Black cousins, so I ask that you please be kind to share your thoughts and feelings on this, I'm all ears and eyes.

I’ve been to African, I have no bias. It could been resented differently. Just sayin’.

Everytime I think about work and how I can't even make a strong case for myself for a promotion I get upset. I'm literally pissed that I'm past a year mark and have yet to learn anything new since month 2. I've researched and taught myself as much as I could but many things are "learn on the job" type skills and so nothing. And yes, I've constantly asked throughout this entire year yet nothing has happened only promises that its coming soon or I'll be included in upcoming xyz.
