Almost all of that post completely ignores the alleged issue (the total erasure of black people in Africa) and instead tries to deflect by going on about the untold wondrous things she's doing for African economies, something that I'm sure not a single person involved in the shooting of that video once actually thought or cared about.
Sure, there are no mandatory racial quotas, but just because there's nothing
prohibiting you from making your music video whites only with only brief, faraway glimpses of people with skin pigment doesn't mean that that's okay or that it should be permissible, especially when you're flying
all the way to Africa to film it.
