Tiffany Haddish insulted Africans when she expressed her surprise that Africa has a beautiful grocery store.
“I’m out here in Zimbabwe… and look at the grocery store! They got a grocery store,” she said, acting surprised.
Tiffany, 44, took her followers on a tour of the grocery store. She pointed out the groceries available in the “humongous grocery store in Africa, baby.”
At one point Tiffany said to the camera: “I just like demystifying sh*t.”

Americans are shocked to see modernized cities with hi-rises and paved roads in Africa. They expect to see huts and dirt roads.
But Tiffany should know better. Her father was an Eritrean Jew. The comedic-actress has been to Eritrea in Africa. She is a world traveler.
One person on X wrote, “I don’t know what they are teaching them in America.”
Another X user wrote: “They think they are visiting the jungle with hunters and gatherers when they come to Africa.”
A third person wrote: “Tiffany this ain’t the time to be a comedian.. it does not make you look very [bright]. I sending love and my 2c worth.”

Another person said American Blacks have forgotten where they come from.
We always love these so called “black” fam but the way they don’t know the continent they originated from is so pathetic to be honest

She straight up say she’s “demystifying” meaning she’s dispelling the lies and negative stereotypes people have about African countries.

She’s not funny and should absolutely shut up. These type of comments are the reason there is a lot of tension between native Africans and black Americans. It’s sad.
As a first generation American, I align with both and it seems as years go on the stories and pictures white…
