Racism in Africa

Wade in the Sea · 26-06-2010 08:21PM #1

I notice that while virtually all the European teams participating in the World Cup seem to have black people in their team, none of the African teams have any whites. Is racism alive and well in Africa?
:rolleyes:

I think cycles like this have a habit of starting again

Ok, go find me a white man in Ghana!

GoldCobra · 26-06-2010 08:26PM

the blue man group is racist

Mick Daly · 26-06-2010 08:27PM

Algeria have some half black kind of people. Ghana don't seem to have any though.

"What could be more South African than the subjugation of black people?"

Perhaps the whites feel too superior to play for African teams.

Or most likely because Africa is primarily black. And because of it's impoverished state it's not a place for "White settlers" to set up home for generations. There's no whites most likely cause the only whites present are those who either rape the country of it's resources or those who try to provide a positive investment in the continent such as money expertise etc. Either way neither stay long term to set Up family

I dare say the Zimbabweans might argue otherwise?

Nope, at 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Zim Dollars for the bus ticket to RSA they decided not to bother :rolleyes:

I really wish is cost 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Zim Dollars to start this thread, then maybe you wouldn't have bothered!

Well, fortunately OP, the Rugby boys buck that trend. Look at South africa

They're so non-racist towards white people, that they used to ban black people from playing!

stovelid · 26-06-2010 10:07PM

The CAF insist that all players are spray-painted brown to advance their dubious theories of Pan-African nationalism.

Plus they run faster than honkeys. Of course.

Kiwi_knock · 26-06-2010 10:10PM

Matthew Booth who is in the SA squad is white so there goes your theory OP.

Donkey Oaty · 26-06-2010 10:48PM

The Africans seem to have white managers.

Perhaps that's why most of them have not progressed as much as they should have.

Coriolanus · 26-06-2010 10:50PM

There's plenty of black on black racism in Africa anyway, they hardly need to start discriminating against whites to qualify for membership of western europes most exclusive club.

What a class name that was.

It's sounds like it's inspired by an English boarding school headmaster in plus-fours with a cane. I hope that Mr Rhodes did loom like that.

Cecil Rhodes had a high pitched voice apparently, I like to imagine him as as a monty pythonesque figure. 'I will conquew the whole of Afrwica!'
