Trini,
Come on....
You gotta admit that that African guy's attitude was outrageous. To imply that the people he sold are his forefathers? And he has the right to be here on account of them? He's still claiming them as his property. They're his forefathers and not mine. He stood right in my face and implied that I'm nothing. It's not my forefathers but his. And you also gotta admit that same attitude with a lot of Africans who come over to the states.
They look down on us, expect us to kiss their butt, and have the audacity to diss us and use us to their own ends. Do you have any idea how far they have tried to get over on American blacks? For example, I once wanted to buy a mask from an African vendor on 125th St., and he said that it's selling for 400 bucks. A f****** 25 dollar mask he thought he could swindle 400 bucks out of me for. And then they say they have the right to be here over some people they cared nothing whatsoever about and sold. These people should be begging our forgiveness, and they come over here with the same primitive slave-master attitude, living on our business with their braiding shops.
They're out of it.
Stark insane... ::LOL::
And that my friend is idolatry.

Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Mike Mlombwa is a Malawian business tycoon who, as a teenager, walked about 50km (30 miles) from his village near the southern border town of Mwanza to the commercial capital, Blantyre, because he could not afford a bus fare.
He managed to raise the money to buy two second-hand cars and today owns a car rental company, with a fleet of more than 70 vehicles.
As part of the latest series of African Dream, Mr Mlombwa shares his tips on dealing with red tape, which he describes as one of the major obstacles to doing business in Malawi:

As part of the latest series of African Dream, Mr Mlombwa shares his tips on dealing with red tape, which he describes as one of the major obstacles to doing business in Malawi:
- Identify all the regulations so that you understand the expectations of the regulator and the penalties for non-compliance for each measure. These can run from warning notices to simple fines and legal judgements and, in some health and safety cases now, personal liability claims on individuals in the company
- Consider positive questions such as what outcomes are the regulations trying to deliver? What stance are your competitors or industry peers taking? Can you gain a competitive advantage or improve your business' standing by leading on a particular regulation? Do you want to be seen as "best in class", "one of the pack" or "just doing the minimum" to comply?
- Focus on those which will make a big difference to your business, positively and negatively. Categorise and rank them by importance, on a region-by-region and project-by-project basis
