@Michelin 89, ofcourse if it makes a difference, you are African in your DNA, she isn't and can never be.
There is a critical difference between you and her. Sorry to burst your bubble, lol
If you were born in Italy, you are still an African and a Nigerian, yet if Cherlize was born in Italy, she would not have any link to Africa at all. Any link she may have today is purely circumstantial.


@Manzigirl, I know what you said, you are addressing a point which was not made to you.

You said S.A's see themselves as African and Africa as their "fatherland". You are denying the actual truth, they never saw themselves as the same of you in any way. Neither do they think of Africa as their fatherland, they see themselves as citizens of S.A. its a different kettle of fish, as you well know.



You mentioned Afrikaans, which is basically a language derived from their European roots/identity which is Germanic.

If they saw themselves as  truely African why did they not simply adopt the languages they met like Zulu as "their own"?

I would like you to address those historical facts as they go against all you are trying to suggest.

no no no Londoner u are missing my point. I said the Afrikaans people say the land is as theirs as it is ours (black africans); they therefore belong here too (to the soil that i keep referring too). Belonging to the same soil does not automatically mean that afrikaans people love black people, if anything they were prepared to suppress and kill for that land. I agree with u, charlize does not have the Dna that black people have, she's therefore not an african of the blood but the soil (by virtue of being born on the continent).

I happen to know for a fact that the afrikaners (perhaps i should say some) refer to SA as the fatherland (fatherland as in their forefathers built the infrastructure and the economy of the land, not because they have brotherly love for the blacks they found there), please dont argue with me on this one s.

You guys are missing the point

she is not black and can never be black ,she is a white girl noting can be done to change the blood running in her veins
like people saying Lagos is no mans land,what can they do to change the language,life styles.when you are black you are black when you are white you are white so stop all these African-American,black British of a thing
liking a Continent does not change anything so because she was born and raced in African has change her identity of being a white woman?what a statement.let the Truth be told and stop all these sentiments
