Was also shocked to hear Michael Joseph say that Bob was a white man trapped in a black skin. He should be deported ASAP! Shindwe.


He should be taken onboard that next KQ flight to SA.

Hope he will soon expound on what he meant.I believe he is wise enough not to say such in public.I am persuaded it's a joke that backfired similar to the peculiar one that he called us years gone by.

I grudgingly choose to forgive him for the greater good of the company and Kenyans who depend on safaricom.

Let MJ feel the heat, it is one consequence of ignoring the instructions of the dead -Bob's poem!!. He ought to have read the bloody poem and seat down.

When Smith Hempstone* was the US ambassador, many Kenyans said he's a black man in a white man body. That was not a problem then.

maybe coz it could have meant that he was a white man (which he was) who had a liking for kenyan (mostly black) things and kenya? if you think that is similar to what michael joseph said then it is unfortunate

Why wouldn't that be the case, a man is guilty for what he says not how you choose to interpret it

What DID HE SAY? I think people are bitching for no good reason.

Unless you knew Bob personally - you wouldn't know if he had "uzungu mwingi" in him!

During the last polls, you started a thread on the issue of Kikuyu arrogance. You pointed out that UMK would lose due to his tribe's looking down on other communities. You went out to point out that Kikuyus have to be more careful in their conduct(and words) than other people because of their 'privileged position' or something like that.

I saw your point then. Why can't it apply here with Michael?

Not sure that they used those words. Smith behaved liked eating Chama choma in public places just like Kenyans. But all Kenyans are not black.

How many times do we say, huyu ni mzungu, huyu anaishi kama mzungu, wachana na huyu ni mzungu etc. Why then is it ok for us to say that yet MJ cannot say the same in a more elaborate manner.

Exactly my point... everyone recognizes "uzungu" in black people. everyone recognizes "uwafrika" in white people. When you see someone doing something that is stereotypical someone else domain... you state it. Asians live a certain way. Waafrika the same. Wazungu the same.

When you see a mzungu chokora - you get astounded (I know I was... when I saw the first one).
What MJ was saying is the He remembers Bob Collymore being a "Mzungu Muiru" who pretending to be a serious corporate person. Since then he grew and become a serious corporate person.
He was talking about Bob... not black people... not white people. BOB!! how he saw Bob grow. The only person who can be insulted is Bob. tuwache upuzi.

Meanwhile, this is the way NYT did an advert for its Africa Correspondent


C&P

New York Times international editor Michael Slackman has owned up to approving a job advert for an Africa correspondent that was full of clichéd descriptions of the continent.

It talked about reporting from "the deserts of Sudan and the pirate seas of the Horn of Africa, down through the forests of Congo and the shores of Tanzania".

MJ was very lenient.
