Mizzou protesters, Black Lives Matter complain Paris attacks stole their headlines

Let's analyze how ignorant, privileged, and ameri-centric your comment is.

72% of america is european-american. 12% is african-american (not really from africa, but the european-americans arent really from europe either).

The 72% identifies with europe more and is influenced more by european customs since their ancestors are from there. When something happens in europe, they will be more attune to what's going on. The majority of americans are descendants from europe.

YOU live in america so YOU see more european influences. Countries that ARE NOT european influenced (thailand, pakistan, china, etc...) you did not hear about it as much.

I LIVE IN EUROPE, did I hear about the kenya attacks? of course. I know more about what's going on in Africa and Asia than 99% of americans for the simple fact that we actually have real news over here. Americans such as yourself are ignorant to anything happening in the world.

Did YOU post anything about terror attacks in baghdad, cameroon, west bank, egypt, somalia, bangladesh, and hundreds of others THIS YEAR? No because you're american and most likely don't know shit about what's happening in the world.

Let me remind you - as a black american, you are the 1% of the entire world. I've been in africa, I've been in the US. Your 'inner cities' are like beverly hills compared to people in africa who live on less than $1 a day. You are the most privileged person on the planet and most likely the most ignorant as well.

Read the news or get a passport. Your incredibly ignorant and close minded.

And you better remind yourself of your institutional power and privilege every day.

You are an embarrassment to the world.
