Prominent novelist and  writer,  Chimamanda Adichie has referred to United States First Lady, Melania Trump as a racist.  Adichie made the statement in a recent interview with international magazine, Esquire UK where she talked about her stance on feminism, Melania Trump’s visit to Africa and racism.

‘yes’. I think she is racist”.  She declared.

When asked if she thought Melania Trump was racist, she answered in the positive with reference to Melania’s recent visit to Africa. She said:

“Had you asked me this question yesterday, I would have said ‘yes’ and my evidence would be that she supported her husband when he was being incredibly racist to Barack Obama. But I just watched an interview that she gave and I was just appalled by it.

She sort of stepped out of a colonial 1750 guidebook about how to be in Africa. There’s a pith helmet and then I am thinking maybe this is supposed to be ironic? Maybe it is a critique of colonialism. She really thought this is what you do when you go to Africa and it says something about someone who is so removed from reality”.

Adichie went on to reference a jacket Melania wore to one of the US children immigration camps which read “I really don’t care: Do you?” and caused a media frenzy.

She said, “and I remember when the media made a lot of noise about that jacket. I remember actually kind of being on her side when all that noise was happening. I thought she doesn’t know, she couldn’t possibly do this knowingly. She did, so the answer to your question is ‘yes’. I think she is racist”.

We forget  that Trumps PARENTS were suspected members of the KLU KLUX KLAN ((KKK) and that DONALD Trump was bought up in that environment - what were we expecting for him to love BLACK people.

We have RACISM in the USA.

We have TRIBALISM in Nigeria.

Still Migerians RUN to the USA.

How many African Americans have illegally entered Nigeria for the GREEN PASSPOR or CITIZENSHIP.

THE WORLD IS A MAD PLACE!!!!!

NOT ONE OF US CHOSE THE ORIGINAL COLOUR OF OUR SKIN - GOD DID.

RESPECT GODS CREATION

are you for real? as far as am concerned, melania and trump are still my favorites, so i dont see any reason to start hating because of what happened in the past. Melania can say whatever she feels about africa but just know that most africans are also hating on fellow africans, so why wont the white do so?
