        I don't like turning it into racism issue but definitely very discriminatory and myopic, it's a step in right direction.

        I've never been a big supporter of President Weah politically ambitions, but i support his thoughts on dual citizenship. I think it will definitely help to improve our fragile economic and strength our education and health sectors respectively...

        The laws are discriminatory not racist. Racism is built into an entire system and depends on a particular imagination, not just a single group of laws.

        Liberalization of our laws would only empower those foreigners more organized and with more access to capital to take ove factors of productions.

        I think the law is old, it has impeded our progress because of its racist notion, to move on, it needs to be repealed, he's in the right direction and I support him..

        I support him on this one. There are lots if clauses in our Constitution that are racist.
