too this week. In my African history I learnt that the French colonists always said to the people 'if you can speak and discuss and get educated like a Frenchman we'll consider you French- not African'. Thanks for Obama and Noah for turning that idea on its head. Give Africans their due. Let them get a share of the world cup.
