Some people have no sense of humor or probably do not understand what Ellen DeGeneres is reported to have tweeted during last night’s Ghana’s World Cup clash against USA…
It took the USA 32 seconds to score their first goal against Ghana and based on this, Ellen is said to have tweeted, saying, ‘Go USA! Fastest goal in U.S World Cup history in #USAvsGHANA game. 32 seconds! It took me longer to look up where Ghana is’..
I cannot see and do not find anything wrong with what she tweeted, yet, several Ghanaians have taken to social media to call her all sort of names—adding that she is ignorant for sending out that tweet.
What is ignorant about this tweet? If you want to look for Ghana on the internet, I bet it will take you more than 32 seconds to open up Google, type Ghana into the search bar and hit the enter key—and then wait for Google to produce a result.
Surely Ellen did not do the above, but all she meant was that, that goal was damn too quick—and we all agree it was. So what is offensive about this?
Before the Ghana Vrs USA match, I came across several eye-popping jokes being made by Ghanaians about USA and no one called them ignorant or said they were being offensive, yet we are calling Ellen unpleasant names for saying the truth…
If you are upset, better be upset with your coach and players and leave Ellen DeGeneres to celebrate USA’s win—and allow her to make whatever joke she wants to make.
It will take more than 32 seconds for you to even find Ghana in the dictionary!
Well, she is an arrogant and an ignorant fool like most Americans when it comes to the world matters (example: American children are always last in world geography completion). Btw, it was 34 seconds and the sixth fastest goal ever, so she is clueless as usual.
fastest goal in “USA” worldcup history not fastest goal ever
watch what u say
Who are you to tell me to watch what I say? I have lived in the US for over 30 years and know this as a fact. Please come again
Ghanaians are sore losers, as simple as that.
I personally dont see anything wrong with what she said.
Americans are sore losers. They have been going to the Ghanaian players pages to show off. You should have seen them last 8 years when Ghana beat them, they were butt-hurt. Ghanaians are making jokes about the lost like: I never herxprit it (if you watched that video you will understand the nonsense English I just wrote). Their is a difference between ignorance and being a sore loser.Your comment makes you sound like you just started kindergarten. I guess you still learning the difference between ignorance and sore losers. My Americans friends where happy about the win,but as soon as they saw what Ellen and Delta wrote they were disappointed at their people. I had no idea about the comment till they showed me.
well well well, educate yourself on the difference between WHERE and WERE first then come back to tell me your nonsense.
Shut up Ellen,we know you for jokes and humor but respect the fact that there is a time for everything.This is not the time for that,not when we have fresh wounds.Get lost!!!
Not surprise because these fools call Americans are nothing but bunch of ignorant souls. They full of shits, disrespectful souls. How about 2006 and 2010 why didn’t you locate where ghana was? At least we scored and poured pepper into your eyes. Stupid people, I just fought this co worker who started insulting our men by calling them ugly. Thanx to my charge nurse for calming me down like she will see.
We like it if we just ugly and we thank them. But who and what is more uglier than their number 7 player? His head and face looks like they have no plan or direction in life!!
I almost committed murder yesterday. was so heated to smack the living hell out of that bitch. Americans to me lack wisdom and maturity. If it weren’t for my charge nurse would have beaten the hell out of that girl paaa.. Still want to do that soon
Really? So we all become victims because of Ellen? What has the entire Americans got to do with it? U are not being too nice.
No a coworker insulted ghanaians and the team not ellen please. read what i typed before
K. Tnks. I respect your patriotism.
If it took her more than 30 seconds to locate ghana on the african map, then that shows how much of an ignoramus she is. Obaa a woay3woho b3ma. mumu kwasia
She’s ignorant like all other Americans who think the only country in the world is USA. I live in the USA and if you compare Americans to other people around the world, they are the most ignorant people I have ever met.
LOL, next time Ellen b3hw3yie, nonsense. There were many diff ways for her to hve amused her followers, therefore she didn’t mean it literally.
Chris we know you not on Ghana side it’s okay cause you’ve been coming for us all day. The reason we angry is because the lady was belittle-ing us. I interpreted that tweet as “who’s this small, useless impoverished country that think that they all that and can not even be located on the map is”…that’s how I saw the tweet. FYI I was and I’m one of the enraged. these ignorant Americans thinking the won the WC. smh #StillteamGhana #teamBlackStars though
tasteless jokes
next time when we score them she will know where ghana is
Come on people. It was meant to be a joke. She didn’t mean anything by it.
hahahahaha KK u r very funny papa………..hahahahahh anyways it true
I beg let us educate her if she didn’t know Ghana now she does. We are tired of the ignorance and arrogance of Americans never bothering to call any African countries by their names, grouping us together and behaving like we are this backward continent at the edge of the world that is waiting to be “discovered”. SURPRISE!!! Yes there is a country in Africa called Ghana, Oh yes, we do speak English. Oh darn! we can read and write.Oh hell! yes we have internet and use twitter and we are coming for you!
