Definitely worth keeping the key message of this video in mind - it applies to all sensitive conversations, including when you need to point out to somebody that they sound racist or have said/done something you consider inappropriate.

 

Most of us Africans, regardless of color, have at some point encountered people who make racist comments or behave in a racist manner (sometimes that includes assuming a white African is racist simply because they're not black - a rich irony for sure!) and we need to be able to address the behavior constructively to help people change.

 

The key message in this video? Focus on what they SAID (or did) and not on what they ARE. Goes for giving constructive feedback or criticism across the board and helps keep everyone focused on what they can change.
