the information there focus on the troubles in the Middle East, the war
in Africa,... in general it's about some negativities.
One who stays away from Africa would think that Africa is all about
war, floods, starvation, HIV, corruption, to the point that you would
feel insecured.
We have not Aljazeera, arab chanel which is taking the air waves even
world wide by storm.
I am asking can we also have an Africa chanel which will bo showing the
news about Africa on an African perspective?
Not only the war but the great african ideas?
Live alone the African Union, before we can unite Africa, one nation to
another, can we first teach the person from nation A about the nation B
to be united to?
What do u think?

I think in many ways this is a good idea, but it won't be taken as one. Well, not by itself it won't be taken as a good idea. Now, if people were to get together and come up with a string of stations, (LOL, we could call it Perspective TV) and each station focused on a different perspective from around the world - maybe you'd have a shot. I know here we have a two German Channels, about 8 Spanish Channels, and the Pentagon Channel (besides the normal networks and cable news channels) - but I also live in a Military City and it's not like this every where.
Unfortunately, if you go about getting one established just for the one perspective, it will turn into an excuse for whites to say that it's one more thing African Americans get that white people don't get; and African Americans will call us racist if they don't get it. Very sad.
Anyway, one thing I did hear, and sadly - it surprised me (which would prove your point that if you're not there all you see is war and etc) is that of the top 10 most beautiful homes in the world, 4 of them are located in South Africa. I think that really says something about the area. Mainly because when you think of a war-torn area that's "overrun with gang violence" - as is often portrayed about South Africa, you don't think of having nice things. Does that make sense? (And when I say gang-violence in relation to Africa, I know it is not nearly the same thing as gang-violence here in America. It's much more political than just "I don't like the colors you're wearing" crap that American gangs try to pull.)

i know what you mean about africa being viewed negatively. there is not enough education on africa in america, from my perspective, and that coupled with the news we hear of the african countries, the public views africa as a downtrodden continent with little going for it.
i, personally, would like to visit an african country t o see for myself.
