This is a very interesting cartoon! The person who created this was obvoisly in favor of Africa. He is trying to show that Africa is Europes doormat. How do i know the foot print represents Europe? Its color. The footprint is WHITE, and the African Continent is BLACK. It makes the African people look like *lesser humans*, which obvoisly isnt true, but back then, thats what the Europeans (the white man) thought of Africa and its People.

hello,
I agree with what you wrote, I wrote about the same things in my blog, but I like how u said that because the footprint is white it's obviously Erupeans. I didn't think about that.. but its a good idea :) good job

Hey!
I probably wrote the exact thing in my blog....except when I was reading your blog....I got this idea...the little cracks on the sole of the shoe, it looks sort of like there are still some, but strong people trying to fight back by mingling with white Europeans. I thought your post was really good....it created another idea in my head, maybe just try and get some details or similes...some people might not understand was we're saying.
