			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>UNICEF is running a series of <a href="http://blackwomenineurope.blogspot.com/2007/07/this-is-actual-ad-campaign-by-unicef.html">German-language blackface ads</a>:</p>
<p><a title="unicefblackface.jpg" href="http://multiculturaltoybox.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/unicefblackface.jpg"><img src="http://multiculturaltoybox.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/unicefblackface.jpg" alt="unicefblackface.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Click the link above for a gallery of all the ads.</p>
<p>Of the ads, <a href="http://blackwomenineurope.blogspot.com/2007/07/this-is-actual-ad-campaign-by-unicef.html">Black Woman in Europe writes</a>,</p>
<blockquote><p>Besides claiming that every single person in &#8220;Africa&#8221; isn&#8217;t educated, and doing so in an extremely patronising way, it is also disturbing that this organisation thinks blackfacing kids with mud (!) equals &#8220;relating to african children&#8221;. Also, the kids&#8217; statements ignore the existance of millions of african academics and regular people and one again reduces a whole continent to a village of muddy uneducated uncivilized people who need to be educated (probably by any random westerner). This a really sad regression.Bottom lines of this campaign are: Black = mud = African = uneducated. White = educated. We feel this campaign might do just as much harm as it does any good. You don&#8217;t collect money for helping people by humiliating and trivializing them first.</p></blockquote>
