hmmm...perhaps so. That should explain why those trying to put out the fire are whites.

Sapeur!!

Congolese people don't play with fashion o! They'll spend their last money on designers.

Sad story though, these oyinbo people can be very frustrating with their subtle and overt racism angry

It's just a human reaction. Beleive me, SOME OF THESE PEOPLE CAN BE VERY VERY NASTY. And please don't come up with that lame question of "so what are you doing there or why don't you come home?", becasue they are even nastier back in Africa where they are treated like kings and would get away with murder.
Re: Congolese Woman Sets Herself On Fire In Protest Against Racism (Pics) by kandiikane(m): 9:20am On Aug 07, 2012
Human reaction? If those two men hated blacks so much, they would have watched her burn.

P.s, why are you getting defensive?

What kine stup!dity? You say they are nastier back home but you run to a country where there is more of them? Na wa oo

Tens of millions of Nigerians in diaspora can't be stupiiid? What I find stupiid is the hundreds of millions in Nigeria who sit down & take sh*t from any govt; who sit down & watch people like Dangote corner their economy (& still hail him as richest man etc) and who still end up treating these pale face MoFos like kings in Nigeria.

White people don't like black people, period!! If you can't see that, then that's real stupidity!!

They would have just branded her a lunatic, pumped her full of "drugs" and thrown her in a psycho-jail. No one will be the wiser.
