Forty years ago, Bob Geldof and Midge Ure wrote a song to raise money for people affected by a famine in Ethiopia. This was Band Aid’s “Do You Know It’s Christmas” and while it did raise plenty of money, people have criticized the song and its creators for white saviourism. The song lyrics, after all, come off as incredibly patronizing. One song verse describes Africa as being a place “where nothing ever grows/no rain or rivers flow.” This promotes a very inaccurate view of the continent—of course things grow there—and the line “Do they know it’s Christmas time at all?” is also wrong, seeing as Ethiopia has a majority Christian population.
