Hollywood has often been criticized for certain stereotypes that appear in film, especially when it comes to females.
Whether it's a woman acting as eye candy, having certain interests, or being saved by men, we've seen the scenarios time and time again.
Yet, there's another stereotype that also exists: the vicious African man.
Four men from Kenya — Gabriel, Benard, Brian and Derrik — attempt to bash this stereotype in a clever way in a video for Mama Hope, a "nonprofit that trains impact entrepreneurs from around the world and partners them with visionary leaders in developing countries to lift their communities out of poverty."
Some of these stereotypes include a love for shooting machine guns, or shooting anything for that matter. There’s also the perception that African men are obsessed with violence and never like to smile.
The list goes on, and these men will make you laugh as they comment on these stereotypes. Of course, they also help to prove why they aren't true. Just wait til you find out their future plans!
Their main message: “We are more than a stereotype. Let’s change the perception.”
