    Africa is love,no money but lots of love in Africa,when an African gave u a smile it is real,coming to the so called the developed countries taught me to love Africa more,there are many people in developed countries yet no people to talk to ,it is so lonely ,they smile but u can tell it is not from the heart,they are always in a hurry no time speak to other people ,to me it is not humanity.

    Blacks have the lowest I.Q.s of any ethnic group in the U.S. They also have the highest drop out rates, highest crime rates, highest incarceration rates, highest drug use rates, highest S.T.D. rates. Niggers are scum.

    What she said about the Mandingo tribe being entrepreneural is very true. They are the only Liberians who are seriously competing in business with the Lebanese and other foreign business people in Liberia.

    Enjoyed the talk especially at the end when it was mentioned that under terrible conditions, love exists stripped of the trappings. If we can learn to strike a balance between “advancement” and “love” for people, animals, plants, and planet; I believe we will find ourselves on the next rung of evolution.

    An African Proverb: ‘The tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter until the lion gets its own historian.’ Tell our story from our perspective and together we can shine new life on Africa, but my Liberia in particular. Maddy, gone buy our book. Keep it up.

    This is the most profound topic of gratitude anybody ever said about Africa in recent time… I was born in Benin(West Africa) and I love dearly every where I have been on the continent. I now live in canada, but home sick, and feel the urge to go back and help in any level of my ability.

(Dedicicated To Zulu Chief Shaka)

Hero who surpasses other heroes!
Swallow that disappears in the clouds,
Others disappearing into the heavens!
Son of Menzi!
Viper of Ndaba!
Erect, ready to strike,
It strikes the shields of men!
Father of the cock!
Why did it disappear over the mountains?
It annihilated men!
That is Shaka,
Son of Senzangakhona,
Of whom it is said, Bayede!
You are an elephant!
