Funny story - when Don King began promoting the Foreman-Ali 'Rumble in the Jungle' he wanted to drum up Zairean interest and had the strapline 'From Slavery to the Heavyweight Championship' and it bombed, I mean it went down like a lead balloon.

Eventually, they asked some guys in the street what they thought and they said "It doesn't interest us, we were never slaves, we only sold off the weaker ones to America to be slaves - why would we be interested?"

I was in Africa recently (I used to live there and my dad is from Tanzania), and there is not much affinity with black Americans or Caribbeans there. So all those idiots who say 'they should go home' need to realise that they will not have a home there !!!!

Here endeth the lesson
