Armaggedon:you think insult is when you call someone an idiot or stupid? Infact using the word "THIS" man, woman, black or white when you know the person name is regarded as a racist abuse, if you must address somebody especially a black man or a black woman in a white dorminated area or country without using his or her name then you must use the word sir or ma hence your word would be classify as having a racist undertone. |

tritt: And more to it is her balanced family life. Her husband is a successful surgeon in the U.K She has four kids, 3 of which are surgeons (Neurosurgery and spine surgery, orthopedics and trauma surgeon and a physician both in the US and in Europe). Her last child is also an Havard graduate. She is a blessed woman among women. 1 Like |

pocohantas:They did that to denigrate her. Why didn't they refer to Angela Merkel as a grandmother? Aren't they age mates. It's not so much the name "grandmother" as the motive behind the name. Is the director General of the WTO on the basis of being a grandma? Or did she really earn that position? |

Leave all this snowflakes being a grandmother is part of her achievement in life as her other qualifications. If the newspaper decide its the attribute about her that they want to headline their news paper that's fine. All these mob online always base virtually everything on emotion (sad). Armaggedon: |

superCleanworks:cant you guys mind your business atleast for ones. They are some things you might be doing that millions of people would dislike and they are somethings that same millions of people might be doing that you would also dislike vice versa, maybe as it stand now, you are smoking, drinking or womanizing and yet this same person you are insulting does not involve himself in such. No one is perfect, as long as someone is not stealing or scaming people, never conderm their hustle because you never can tell, peace |

Dpaulie: Black people in Africa mostly don't have a plan, Majority didn't fight for independence, they negotiated to continue the structures of colonialism, from the mode and structure of governance to the security architecture that only seems to be effective in being a colonial tool for oppressing the natives by first the whites and now their stooges, |

Freestainworld: They started the hate before blacks started copying. I don't have any blame for the yahoo boys who swindle them of hard currencies - they deserve more than yahoo. The whites never liked the blacks, but forgot they only survived because the blacks always forgives. For the world to stand firm till date: the Blacks will always be the people to feed, supply, cook, clean, serve, protect, suffer, be jailed, be mocked and above all, be killed that Love may reign. The 66yrs old Igbo Woman is the DG - that's the end of the story. She comes and she remains till the constitution re-directs. Shalom! |

You obviously don't understand how the media brainwashing works. Was she made the WTO DG because she's 66 years old or a grandmother? Of what use are these "qualifying tags" to the message they are trying to pass? Mightyhaiz: |
