Recently, Tiffany Haddish received a lot of heat over her comments about finding grocery stores in Zimbabwe, which many people found offensive.
Haddish initially said, “Look at this grocery store. It’s humungous, in Africa.”
Many people were upset at the assumption that Zimbabwe doesn’t have grocery stores, with one person saying, “How ignorant could she be? Did she think that Africans shop from rocks? She needs to travel more and unclog her sadly colonized view of the world. Yikes.”
Tiffany reacted and said, “I am an American, a Black one at that, and told for years that people are starving in Africa, showed pictures of babies with flies on them.”
She continued, “I thought I would share ’cause I know people in the USA that believe Africans don’t have anything.”
Do you think Tiffany Haddish was wrong for her initial video? Why or why not?
