So what?
Lotsa blacks over there walk around wearing berets and other hats that are european design.
Maybe if the blacks stop appropriating white culture items they’d have some authenticity in their own claims.

Its like showing up to a meeting of African-American cotton farmers in a Confederate uniform, Matthew Carotenuto, a coordinator of African Studies at St. Lawrence University, wrote on Twitter. Historical context matters.
She should not be riding in a motor vehicle either as it is and example of white technology.

It’s hot in Africa.
You don’t wear black.

Was Justin Trudeau a part of the entourage?

“All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Europeans ever done for us?”

The ultimate bit of European stuff damaging local culture:
Wait for it
Invented in that Socialist utopia the USSR
AK-47
It has probably killed more former colonials than the British Raj ever did.

I thought a white pith helmet was a “symbol” of keeping one’s head cool(er) in a warm climate. Crazy me.
To: ButThreeLeftsDo
In one of the videos I saw two black male locals with the same white pith hats.
Fake outrage of entitled liberal journalists, most of whom are white.
