as a black, african born african i have no problems with her calling herself african american. i have white "south african" teamates on my rugby team who are "african americans" and we call ourselves the african contingent in light of the kiwi contingent. i have no problems with that either. they were born and raised there just as much as i was.

in fact the whole african american thing to me is funny. both are continents, and not representative of the race of people described. so is it african, or american? i call myself black. or african.

and believe it or not, but her fears of mismanagement of funds are valid. there is a lot of corruption and chicanery in african politics. simply giving money to them would not be prudent.
this coming from a bonafide african. who is weary of watching "his" people suffer from lack of development. of corrupt govts stealing the peoples wealth.

and mozambique is right next to zimbabwe where i grew up.
