I've known several people from various parts of Africa. Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and they all say the same thing - they are very glad to be here. Very glad. I asked a close friend once what he thought of the gang issue and race issue here and he said that the thugs here are pusses compared to thugs in Africa. Our toughest street thugs wouldn't last long in a tussle with what's over there. Talk about hard core. He also said the race issues here in the states is really sad but we really don't know racism compared to what he grew up with and saw. It's like a different planet.
