As happy as we have been for the last month, to think this wasn't coming was folly. <br /><br />The World Cup did great for African relations. But South African xenophobia isn't just a hatred of foreigners. It's a hatred of foreigners who live here. It's got nothing to do with the Ghana Football team. That's like saying a white folk isn't racist because they like Hugh Masekela.<br /><br />I've got (lots) more to say on xenophobia and your "journalists feeling uncomfortable with constant good news and feeling like they need to bring up something scary in order to sound intelligent" but now I have to go and do work.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13291037610197297583noreply@blogger.com
