The Cold War in Africa is one of the darkest, most disgraceful pages in contemporary history, and everybody ought to be ashamed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think that the Cold War was an exceptional and unnecessary piece of cruelty.
The history of apartheid-era South Africa is incredibly sad and at times infuriatingly incomprehensible.
I think that black Africa is extremely terrifying. Black Africa can become a maelstrom of warring tribes without the outside world needing to feel the need to do anything about it.
The Cold War isn't thawing; it is burning with a deadly heat. Communism isn't sleeping; it is, as always, plotting, scheming, working, fighting.
Africa's salvation doesn't lie in begging and begging for more aid, and as an African, I find it very, very humiliating.
I should confess that I'm woefully under-read in South African fiction.
The need for raising the awareness of this shameful chapter in U.S. history is more apparent than ever.
One of the things I love about Africa is the amount of dignity and respect and humility you see all the time. You don't realise how often you're disrespected until you are surrounded by respect.
Americans' perceptions of Africa remain rooted in troubling stereotypes of helplessness and perpetual crisis.
The prolonged slavery of women is the darkest page in human history.
