how come you dont talk the african american english come on man keep it real.
African development represents a second chance for all of us. For the last 200 or so years, we have been following the industrial west’s development model, first losing our primary sector and now are secondary sector. We begin to rely on imports and lose our jobs overseas. African development could potentially open a new road towards sustainable development and environmental stewardship. What a fantastic opportunity!
The goal of the tournament is to bring the world together for the love of soccer. This should be the goal. The monetary benefits should be gravy.
Africa suffers from a multitude of problems, most stemming from colonialization. I think the World Cup should not be used to shed light on African problems. The World Cup in South Africa will come and go – African poverty, starvation, HIV and AIDS, disease and instability will remain.
Not at all
Like I said…you are not African, have never been to Africa and know nothing about Africa.
Yours sincerely – An African. Thank you very much :-0
Thank you
Do you have poor reading comprehension skills? I’ve already addressed you on this “ultimatum.” I see you’re laughing so you have my pity.
I wish they caught up with you
Still waiting…go ahead you non-African and teach me about Africa.
ROFL….
Oh please….
Like I said….teach me an African about my history. Fail you did.
Stick to your French and Roman history.
If you really are from Africa then you must be from a country in Africa, this is only ignorance on your part to discredit me. Cough on that.
So you are racist against what history I can, and can not use? Very telling… The same point applies no matter the ethnicity, but you can’t see that.
Why are you changing the subject? I’m not going to play tag just to following your monkey ass. That’s a gutter hole attempt that won’t work on me. Is this the meth reality you alluded to? Checkmate.
First….what do you know of Africa? And please remember it is a continent and not a country…cough Palin.
Second…you resulted to insult by thinking that African a basket case since it is obvious that the only history you are familiar with is and I quote “French revolution, Roman Empire”…basically European history.
Go ahead….teach me an African about my history. I dare you.
1) How do we know that there was a bubonic plague, ice age, a French Revolution, Roman Empire… Well maybe you don’t but I do…
2)Niggamania, the only confusion is you resorting to insults because you can’t do any better, either that or a meth high reality is the only point of view you can relate to due to your geography and your Family’s upbringing. The flash backs of the incest you wrote about sound severe. I too have seen this in Africa. Some African militants rape goats in fear of AIDS.
That is a thoughtful and true response. What a wonderful world it would be, if we let people be…
Protean is articulate, engaging, intelligent, entertaining, and thought provoking.
KEEP THIS UP!!! PROTEANVIEW FOR PREZ!!!
As an African…I agree with your video.
How do you know that Africa was a basket case before “the white man”? Are you over 1,000 years old?
Plz….don’t confuse your meth high with reality. The tribe that you saw committing cannibalism was your dad going down on your sister.
Say not to drugs. From an African.
Its the same way in mexico, we drill the oil, sell it to the USA, they refine it and sell it back, we got the oil but we need to pay them in order to benefit from it, so we go nowhere
no seriously. people. what’s what the pirate rag on his head? who does that?
Yeah I mean there are alot of things wrong with Africa really, mainly it does depend on the West too much, but that is not all. African leaders are corrupt, far too much tribal ruling for any country as a whole to truly prosper (but conflict to be constant), attitude to disease is 100 years behind the rest of the world and then on top of that you have alot of baron land and water shortages, especially in the east. If I’m honest the future doesn’t look too good.
but then how can they maintain the comforts that they’re accustomed to, when out on safari vacation?
deniston81, aids’ll kill all them bitches yo. looks like africans are on the endangered species. get it together, motherland. keep it in your pants. giggles.
what’s with the pirate rag on your head? chemo?
I’ve lived in dozens of countries in Africa, and I’m going back soon. All I can say is that it’s a basket case, and always will be. Even before “the white man.” I just barely made it out of the Rwanda Genocide, and on my way out I came across a tribe that practice cannibalism.
