Out Of Box Story: Carlton Cole Charged By FA For Racist Comments Towards Ghanaians on Twitter, Calling The Crowd At The England v Ghana Match Refugees…

I woke up on this glorious spring morning in such a good mood, getting ready to worship the Lord, until I came across an article…

The BBC Sports website reports how the West Ham striker, Carlton Cole, has been charged by the English Football Association (FA) for racist comments he made against Ghanaians on Twitter, during their friendly with England on 29^th March.

The West Ham striker was basically insinuating that the large number of Ghanaians that had gathered at Wembley to support the Black Stars were refugees, by tweeting this foolishness:

“Immigration has surrounded the Wembley premises! I knew it was a trap! Hahahahaha! The only way to get out safely is to wear an England jersey and paint your face w/ the ST. George flag.” (sic)

I did not hear about this at all until now, and I must say it has caused me to reach volcanic boiling point, as I feel that this has not been the first time that Ghana has been disrespected by a BLACK player from the England National Team.

During 2010’s World Cup when England had to face Germany, I remember that Jermaine Defoe was asked a question along the lines of which team he was hoping would win the match between Ghana and Australia.

He said Ghana, and I thought “aww bless him”, but his next comment promptly wiped the smile of my face; he wanted Ghana to win and Germany to lose so that England would face Ghana, and get through to the next round. Mr Defoe had already made the assumption that Ghana was inferior to England and henceforth if the Black Stars were to face the Three Lions, defeating the Black Stars would be unquestionable.

Ever since the World Cup, my dislike for Jermaine Defoe has also been unquestionable.It’s just sad (and pathetic) to see all these Black players who feel the need to insult Ghana.

Danny Welbeck (born to Ghanaian parents in London) chose to play for the England National team- that’s all well and good and his choice but he has not felt the need to insult Ghana. Welbeck has fully acknowledged that he is Ghanaian but plays for England as it is the land of his birth.

Flip the coin to the other side, and you have “Italian” Mario Balotelli- born in GHANA to Ghanaian parents but given up for adoption to Italian parents because they wanted a better life for him, not only does he fully refuse to even acknowledge the Ghanaian blood running in him, but has also emphasised on many occasions his intention to never play for the Black Stars.

My problem at the moment is this- not the fact that they don’t want to play for the Black Stars because as we can all see, our team is doing perfectly well without these BOYS on their team. The thing I have an issue with- especially regarding the Cole and Defoe situation- is why they feel they need to put the Black Stars down because we are an African team.

These BOYS should not forgot where they are originally from- no matter how much fish and chips they consume or whether they are familiar with the whole Cockney vocabulary of the East End of London, they will NEVER EVER be fully English.

These two Caribbean BOYS (Cole and Defoe) forget that their blood lies in Africa, and that they are descended from Africa. Every time I hear about a Caribbean (and not just football players) making foolish statements about Africa, I not only want to slap the Black off them, but deep down I feel sorry for them; it’s almost like they’re trying to prove a point to the English people- that they were born here so they are true Englishmen…errrr wrong!!!!

If I was born in China, I would not be calling myself Chinese!

Seriously, if I hear another Black celebrity making a scathing comment about Ghana again, GC readers you guys are going to hear about me in both National and International news cause I will hunt that person down and beat them like they were my step-child.

Regardless of where I was born, I know I am a true Ghanaian- my twi may not be up to par, and I might not like the taste of fufu but I know the Ghanaian blood flows through me, and I will not allow myself to “get lost in the hype” of trying to “brofolise” myself….I rep Ghana until the day I die.

Some of these Black people need to start acknowledging where they are from and be proud- because a White man does not see you as an English person, or even an African or Caribbean. At the end of the day, we’re all just BLACKS to them, so the sooner we start accepting and being proud of our heritage, the better it will be for us!

Gosh, I cannot believe this boy (Cole) has made me so angry on the Lord’s Sabbath day- let me go and pray for his soul….right after I go and do some research to find out where he lives!

I am so fuming mad right now that I’ll just let you guys to check up on this from BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13020733.stm
