Popular American television personality and philanthropist, Steve Harvey, gave a positive remark on Ghana in an attempt to present a different view of Africa than the stereotypical information that the Western media feeds Europeans.
In a new conversation, the famous and wealthy African American TV host, comedian, and author stated that Ghana is so quiet that he never heard a cop stop a car and shoot a driver, as is common in the United States.
Speaking on the ‘Earn Your Leisure’, show Steve Harvey said he feels good whenever he is in Africa because almost everybody looks like him and also Africa is his homeland.
When I’m in Ghana and get stopped by the police, guess what I get? I get a warning, a ticket or I give him a $100 and I drive off… I have never, since I got there seen on the news or nothing that somebody got pulled over by the police and got shot. They don’t shoot you in Africa.
I think it is beneficial for us to go back home. America is my home but Africa is my homeland. Me going to Africa is like going to a place called home that I’ve never been to. When you land in Africa, you immediately feel good. It is a place I get to walk around and am good all the time because the majority of the people look just like me everywhere I go…people don’t understand how rich of a continent Africa is,” he said.
