Yes Africa Can: An African talks to Barack Obama

Dear Mr President (Barack Obama)
We the African people
From this beautiful land called Africa
From rural areas and big cities
We heard about you
How people of all colours
Blacks and Whites
Listen to you

As far as we are concerned
You are one of us
And we need change too

No, we can't regain our dignity
Without a change in US foreign policy in Africa
Change No1: stop supporting assassins
Change No2: stop supporting dictators
Be firm with those who kill, torture and murder their own people
We hold the world record for murdered politicians
No, we can't fix our issues
NO, we can't without your support
We Africans are proud of who we are
Even though our land is being looted
We belong to noone

Dear Mr President
God bless your country
And may this change you talk so much about
Mean something for the African continent
Something Positive

Thank you
and good luck

nice video! tu parle francais ? for "soubjohnni" : I don't understand people like you.. people like you are the exact reason why america has got a bad reputation right now ! Shame on you ! In what way can it be bad if the rest of the world likes Obama.. And also How can you say that it's all about america! Are you that selfish ? We all live in the same world ! We are all the same people ..

[hedjamavieille]

Eh oui, je parle francais. Please, rate the video and share with others.

who cares

[hedjamavieille]

why bother replying then ?

[faithl17]

I love this video! But please change the title to Yes We Can...In Africa! Or Yes Africa Can! You will get more people to watch it. We who love Obama do not like to click on anything that looks even remotely negative. All the best and Yes We All Can!!

[hedjamavieille]

faith, you are the second one to suggest the title change, which I just did. Thanks.

@christo930 Great documentary to watch is called ' Mugabe and the White African' topdocumentaryfilms(DOT)com/mu­gabe-and-the-white-african/

[MELISSA84008]

all obama will do for africa is use and exploit you..he doesn't care about you..give me a break

[christo930]

What this video doesn't show is all of the white people being oppressed in africa. Whites being beaten, raped and thrown into poverty through racist government policies where whites are fired and replaced with blacks.

jzbsouthwest,

I would be forever ashamed i I displayed such ignorance as you are doing here. Keep eating your hamburgers and die of arterosclerosis. Djeez can people be so fucking dim-witted.

[jzbsouthwest]

Yeah I wish i was african so i could live in a house made out of cow dung, drink milk mixed with blood. And as for food, i wouldnt be talking.......

[LotN2]

Why the hell does all white people think we Africans need you? In Africa we use white people as an example for children of how NOT to be. They eat wrong food which makes them fat. They are totally associal, sitting inside playing computer games instead of socializing like civilized people do. They are dumb as hell, seeing the world only from 1 point of view. Greedy, as their companies create all kinds of unneccesary products for themselves.

African kids are affraid of white people....

[LotN2]

Oh, we are not only figuring it out, we are working on it and soon we will produce more products than anywere in the world. We African people are a people of love so we love Obama, see there is actually something called "Love", we want nothing from him atall, we just love him because he is great.

Dont expect you to understand love thou, white people dont know love. Thats why all your white women come to us black men looking for love...

Americans like me are not the problem, I work a job, raise a family and mind my business. I know full well what our government here is up to, and I am not happy about it. I would like nothing more than to pull all our troops and influence out of ALL other countries and let them solve their own problems. I'm not sure when the USA become the world police but it needs to stop. We cant please everyone. We cant fix all the worlds problems, only our own.

[franciscobalou]

the problem with americans like you is that you don't realise the impact that your country and the politics that comes from the administration has on the rest of the world, is not a coincidence that all over the world people is fighting against the model of global control that most of your presidents try to develope, i totally desagree with my president chavez but it is true that the usa thinksit's ruler of the world.

[Godfaada]

Mugabe should be hang by his defect balls.
