That “Feed the World” Christmas song has got to be the most tone deaf stereotype-laden song I’ve ever heard 🤣 Particularly this part:

“There's a world outside your window

And it's a world of dread and fear

Where the only water flowing

Is the bitter sting of tears

And the Christmas bells that ring there

Are the clanging chimes of doom

Well, tonight thank God it's them

Instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time

The greatest gift they'll get this year is life

Where nothing ever grows, no rain nor rivers flow

Do they know it's Christmas time at all?”

Is it possible this song helped propagate AIDS to the levels it attained?

I’m sure it certainly helped propagate some stereotypes about Africa to higher levels 😭😭
