When we observe the way other continent's view Africa, we could all agree that their view perspective is coming from a westernized single story generated and perpetuated by the West. The West has successfully created a narrative that the African continent is destitute, and if it was not for the Western Powers taking over the land and colonizing the indigenous people of Africa at that time, our continent wouldn't be as developed as it is now, hence the supposition is that we as Africans are to the regard in the west as our Saviour.

Western Powers saw African civilization as primitive, unsophisticated and simple and to them this was something unfamiliar thus the concept of othering, they thought of themselves as superior and created the them versus us narrative which supported them separating westerners and Africans off of the ideology that they are nothing like Africans.

to further dehumanize Africans, they propagated a stereotyped image of Africa, an example made by Binyavanga Wanaina in 'How to Write About Africa' Wanaina says that "Any work you submit in which people look filthy and miserable will be referred to as the REAL Africa" these are instructions given to the distributers of media to further feed the Westernized stereotype of Africa.

An exoticized image of Africans walking around bare foot and naked, with big breasts bottoms and genetalia ,who only eat food they have physically hunted and grown and spend their day under the African sun interacting with wildlife, is to evoke the feeling of pity or the poverty-stricken Africans.

The aim is to try keep Africa viewed as an impoverished society so they can be looked at as rescuers an continue to extort and take advantage of Africans resources and people.
