Unknown_Soulja said:Utter and absolute BULL**** (excuse my french) !! How do you say that with such conviction? They had their hands tied fighting other battles like Apartheid!! Do you know how much African countries were spending on fighting Apartheid in South Africa alone? Let me put it to you like this:
Nothing done by any American for Apartheid South Africa reaches a tenth of the sacrifice done by the Average African. Tanzanians were admitting south Africans like there was no tommorrow. DId you know how many ANC meetings were done in Zambia, Bothswana and Zimbabwe? Did you hear of South African black males trained in Angola? Did you know that the death of the Mozambiqan president was related to his antiapartheid stance? Nigeria revoked the license of British Barclays bank, withdrew its reserves in the Bank and threatened oil Embargo on America in 1976!! That led to the the then president of Nigeria Murder of Murtala Mohammed, when he refused entry of Henry Kissinger into Nigeria. Lets find facts before we start making condescending, and almost even "oh you hopeless" remarks!!
Utter bull****. If you want to talk about facts make sure you have yours in order before you jump to conclusions about what I stand for.
I said that its a shame that no African nations came to the Aid of Angola, granted some African nations did stand up to the Apartheid regime in South Africa, but I'm talking about within the context of Cuban Intervention in Angola.
The bottom line is this, Africa is divided along ethnic and religious lines, and it is for this very reason she is NOT united. In short if black folks in Africa put down their petty differences we wouldn't have needed the Cubans to fight out wars for us.
We have slavery in Mauritania and Sudan, but how many African heads of state have raised it as an issue before the United Nations, yet we have an African from Ghana running the UN?
