        Whenever #Trump or anyone else makes derogatory statement about #Africa, the only anger I bear is towards our 'leaders' who through their GREED & SHEER WICKEDNESS have brought ridicules upon the continent. We are blessed. All we need across Africa is genuine leadership.

        Um...isn't it in Africa where there are many areas lacking clean water? Impoverished areas, where children are starving daily, no medicine, very few schools? The AIDS epidemic is taking lives in bulk? Too much else to name. How about working on that first & foremost?

        Emma Arthur writes.. Trump calls Africa 'Shithole'. AU calls for an apology! Apology? That's not enough!! Africa must rise to build a stronger future, so persons & racist like him would not continually insult ur identity & dignity they stole through colonialism.
