Kim Moo-Sung, who is the favorite to be South Korea's next president has apologised after sparking a public uproar for jokingly likening the skin color of a Nigerian student to coal. He issued the apology via  yesterday.



He said: "I failed to realize that showing friendliness this way could hurt someone's feelings. I am really sorry and there is no excuse. I sincerely apologize from the bottom of my heart."....



He cracked the joke on Friday while delivering coal briquettes to the needy in Seoul alongside a group of foreign exchange students. While laughing, Kim said to Babalola Joushua Adekunle: "Your face color is the same as the briquettes' color."

While reacting to the joke, Babalola Joushua Adekunle, attending a university on a South Korean government scholarship, said:

"I don't give any special meaning to it. He said it jokingly. He was laughing. Personally I'm a black man. It's nothing that I am ashamed of."…… bt e no go win sha, he whispered…..

    Adekunle has done well not to be offended

Adekunle is an idiot. Those of us who live outside Nigeria would understand what racism; we continue to fight it. We know our history, sacrifices and lives lost by our ancestors in their struggles against racism to make life better for us today. But there is still a long way to go.

A lot of you very ignorant Nigerians have no idea what racism is, and often compare it to tribalism. This is like comparing 'bed bug' bite to a venomous snake bite, hence your tendency to belittle racism. You have no clue until you go and live in European, American or Asian countries.
