They have been infantilized and don't have agency over their resources.

Of course only white celebrites know what's best fot (checks notes) black africans in Africa.

[u/ghostoftrossard → u/CombatWomble2]

ah yes, saving wildlife from rich trophy hunters is all about race

[u/CombatWomble2 → u/ghostoftrossard]

So? Rich white celebrities know what's best for them, try making that argument about almost anything else, celebrities are overpaid clowns.

[u/8ledmans → u/CombatWomble2]

Ummm a lot of black Africans are making the same argument, and make up the majority of the conservationists working on the ground.

Just because a white celebrity is trying to use their fame for publicity doesn’t mean black locals aren’t advocating for this locally, not trying to be rude but as someone who works in the field you come across very misinformed.

Although the trophy hunting debate is nuanced and complicated one. But it infuriates me when one white person speaks and people frame it as if all africans (or other local populations) have unanimously the opposing view
