Dying of AIDS and thinking that raping a baby will cure it.

As South African myself, I think quite a lot of things. Not all negative. Not all positive.

Odd question but I did go once, many years ago, to South Africa and my strongest memory is that I have never felt so much like a sexual object as I did when I was there. Not all bad...

I think of my friend Anja, who moved here from South Africa when I was in high school. She was originally from Germany.

The only other person I know personally from anywhere in Africa is one of my classmates who is from Nigeria.

Yeah our minister of health believes that if you give people suffering from aids enough garlic and beet, they'll live longer lives. And our president believes that HIV does not cause AIDS. I only wish I was kidding.
Then again ... we were the first country to do a successful heart transplant (i.e. one where the patient actually survived a couple of days).

I have different images of Africans vs. South Africans. I think of Africans as mostly living in huts or refugee camps, prevented from forming stable societies by climatic disdvantages, political corruption, ignorance and violence. I think of South Africa as more like a European country, industrialized.

I was pretty good friends with two African people in college, and I met a South African person working at a Summer camp during that time. The two African people were from wealthy families and both studied to enter the medical field. The South African person was very free-spirited and sociable but had no money or plans for the future.

images of Africa= African babies/ children used as hosts while severly infested with parasites.

Africa= a severly parasitic infested continent.

African culture- depending on the tribe either incredably fascinating/ or incredably disgusting.... fortunally that also goes for all human cultures.


African people- Many are cool- while the wanna be gangsta ones just plainly get on my nerves and should be aborted from this world.
