sp, I was unaware of the origins of the 'dog/stable' quote and can understand your point of view. Culturally I have no connection with Bernard Manning or his odious views and have always avoided watching any TV program that included him.

"How many Black Americans class themselves as African American yet they or their parents have never seen Africa?"
Eh?
You mean like Irish Americans and Italian American?

/// F W De Klerk...///
/// African or not? ///
/// In my eyes, the man is most certainly African, and it has nothing to do with his skin colour. ///
If it is nothing to do with skin colour how is it that South Africa hasn't had a white president since F W De Klerk?
Were these also African?
