        So you can't say what happend to Ozil is racism but what Trevor Noah said is racism. 100% sure there is a YT guy behind this handle. This tag reeks of YT privilege.

        This joke has resurfaced following #TrevorNoah's remarks on #France's #WorldCupRussia2018 win. This is exactly how #neocolonialist, and #colonial masters operate. But this is a fight they will never win. Their interests in #Africa may in fact be at risk here. @_AfricanUnion

        Calling the French soccer team African is a statement of fact. That's who they are. Africans.

        They even said it themselves: COMEDIAN. When it's Charlie Hebdo, it's freedom of speech, but when a South African brother jokes about it, it's racism. Sick of y'all. We stand with @Trevornoah.

        Lets pretend tht you of all people don't know Trevor Noah, lets forget that he has been to UK numerous times, lets forget tht what he said was vindicated by Mesut Ozil, lets pretend tht it is all Black, until White comes along. Screw you.
