    Get ready to enter the doorway to west Africa. #SENEGAL is a land of prestige and ostentation. She knows how to take take #Africa by the horns and renaissance the crap out of it. Oh and the country is shaped like Pac-man. THANKS TO ALL THE SENEGALESE GEOGRAPEEPS THAT HELPED WITH THIS EPISODE! ENJOY!
    -Oh and unrelated, this episode was uploaded on Canada day. So Happy Canada day to our sibling nation up north.

      After the independence in 1960, Senegal's UCAD (Université Cheikh Anta Diop) had the best MD program all over the French speaking Africa and that until the very recent years. It is not uncommon to find many French speaking africans leave their own countries to pursue their higher education in Senegal.

    17:54 because historically having a light skin tone symbolized nobility and wealth. The nobles stayed inside their castles in the shadow while the commoners had to work on the fields in the sun and thus got tanned. This is also were the therm "Blue blood" comes from because you could actually see the (blue) veins through the light skin of the nobility while you could not though the tanned skin of the commoners.

      @bean boy Yeah exactly in Europe people tend to fake tan or try to be as tan as possible naturally, this is because it's actually another symbol of wealth and upper social class that has completely shifted since a few centuries (when white was considered better for the reasons you mentioned). Now if you are tan, that means you can afford to go on vacations in sunny areas, if you are too white it means you don't get out of your house very often.

      It a social status thing. Most people in the world are working outside (likely: farms) and get a tan. People without a tan are people that do not need to work outside, so likely to be wealthy. So lighter skin is praised because it is seen as sign of wealth and power.
      It is the opposite in most white country, because the common people now work indoor (factory, office...) during daytime so they can't get a tan. Having a tan as a white guy is synonymous to a guy that can go to vacation or can manage to have free time during the day. No wonder some people are painting their face orange: it is a sign of wealth and power.
      Nowadays, the line are blured, because a lighter / darker is less and less synonymous of wealth / power, and deceptive.

      I find that while, lighter skinned people want to darken their skin, the process with how you do that can be much less harmful (if you don't include tanning beds) than trying to whiten darker skin. Bleaching the skin is much more harmful than simply putting on spray tan. Unfortunately one side gets a more shitty time than the other

      @@ms_scribbles But aren't things like T-shirts with a band on it usually from the record company that own the band?
      I would think that would just be their merchandise so why would they sue people that but their merch?
      It could be a different case if the shirt is just from another company sure, but then wouldn't the company get sued instead of the wearer?

      I did a DNA test and I found out that I have Senegalese roots also. That was a surprise to me. I didn't have any idea. I'm mostly Irish and German American so appear to be completely Caucasian. I've been learning a lot about Senegal lately and it looks like a beautiful country.
