What's Up Africa: African Roots!!!???

Ikenna tells it like it is once again on this week's episode of What's Up Africa. In an interview with Sahara TV, a topless occupier at Zuccotti Park in NYC proclaims that she's representing her African ancestral roots. We have to agree with Ikenna when he says "representing your African roots by showing your titties? Please." Take a look for yourself, but we think the only thing she's representing is a primitive idea of Africa - think National Geographic.
