Give me the name of an African leader that hasn’t locked up his political rivals, shot at protesters, committed genocide, or started a civil war.

Give me the name of an American President who didn’t invade another country, propped up dictators or overthrew democratic governments. 

 

So, can I say that being a psychopath war criminal is a must to be US President?

clearly not well enough , also it s not a racist statement to point out that a minority doesn t know how to  do something.

So you think Black Africans are a minority? That’s just...wow

Yes :whistle:

 

I’d say George Washington maybe, or maybe Wilson?

Claiming that the white oppressors are better then the Black population is. For thousands of years blacks lived off that the land without an issue. The Europeans were the main catalyst for the issues.

In fact saying Mugabe had racial issues against white peoples is a bit funny, since for years Kirsty Coventry (whiter than flour herself) was introduced as the Mugabe´s golden girl. One would even say she was like his daughter seeing how often they were pictured together :d

That’s a pretty racist statement. They farmed those lands for thousands of years. They may not farm the “European” way, but they knew what they were doing.

One doesn't need to farm the 'European' way, one needs to farm in a way that provides them with enough food. Five thousand years ago there were a bit less people to feed, and the results of taking away the farms have been very clear, whatever one's opinion is: it. did. not. work. At all. The whole thing went to shit. I could not care less about the skin colour of whoever provides food, as long as there's enough to keep a country running and it clearly did not work.

 

Yes, I think Zimbabwe should be ruled by 'native' Zimbabweans. No, that doesn't mean some ruling elite should impoverish everyone in his country - black or white - by doing this kind of thing.

    • There is an Italian roster listed on elite prospects despite no official roster announcement yet. However many people on the hfboards forum are questioning its legitimacy as there are many questionable players on the roster
    • Actually, it seems Wicklow Irish Pub is an actual small chain in the city of Queretaro in  
    • But it seems to us that Norway wasn't as strong in Lillehammer 1994 as it was later? And not just in women's events. Generally, until 2000, Norway was much weaker in women's biathlon and women`s cross-country skiing. I remember in the 1990s, Italy's biggest rivals, Belmondo and di Centa, were Russia, when Norway somewhere further back and only in the classic style. Bente Martinsen- Skari, this is their first really strong girl in cross country, just about 2000, just like Liv Grete Skielbreid- Pioree in women`s biathlon at similar times.   Do you think, that is there any hope that thanks to the popularity of Haaland and football in general in Norway in recent years, winter sports such as biathlon or cross-country skiing will lose a little bit, becouse that?

    • This suggestion  @Dnl  made some months ago has also been implemented.   In each club, I have added a "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" record which takes the content from the Qualification by Nation tracker of that NOC.   People who see it can not edit the content, but it will be automatically updated once @Matej will update the record, and if you notice any mistake feel free to report it to Matej or in the record itself.   Club's admins can now edit the name of the section into their own language or change the spelling, I have used "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" for all the clubs. To do so, go inside the section, then click on "Manage Club"-"Edit this database Record" and change the name of the section:     By the way, if you are not a club's admin but you would like to edit things inside the club just let me know and I will give you the rights to do so. There can be more "admins" inside the club with the rights to edit and organize the sections, and that's not a role that require time or commitment.   Let's try to make all the clubs active during MiCo and when the LA28 qualifications will start!
