Let's put our house -- country instead of the individuals -- in order and all these backward, racist descriptions will be over. It's all about economics!

Put your country's and your continent's economy and institutions in GOOD shape and work as a unit and they will lick your ass! So it has nothing to do with history.

It's about our poor economies, stupid! Racism festers where when the subjected PEOPLE -- not individuals -- are POOR! As long as our countries are in shambles, they will insult us right in our faces.

And country with the population and gdp of the issues shouldn't have any poverty or ppl lying on the streets and manholes. Yet, u think this tweet bh delta is about money? USA is now heading towards communism becos.capitalism has failed! Delta should use their minds and be respectful of the national tney do business in. There is no liberty, freedom in USA. U have cameras everywhere. Police don't want you idling or even hanging out infront of ur own house and sbit. Constant surveillance everywhere and u have the nerve to say just are liberal and liberty? Bullshit! I flew delta once and will never fly delta,take again!

It is not a mistake. That is what they think about us, even at the highest level. To them Africa represents a jungle and all of us are in the jungle. Where have they seen the country called Ghana is represented by a giraffe. Would it have been different if Ghana had been represented by a chimpanzee? Delta you do not carry giraffes to and from Ghana to make your millions. You carry humans just like you. Whoever tweeted that should be fired. At least show us some respect because we help you to be in business.

That's what they really think of us. The question is what are we doing to improve ourselves as a people and as a country? It's sad but can we blame ourselves for giving them the opportunity to say all sort of things about us? The only way we can overcome these insults is to put our HOUSE in order -- our country and our continent in order.

You may ask yourself : Since when did the "giraffe" became the symbol of Ghana,and do
Delta Airlines flight to and from Ghana lifts
animals or human beings ?
Is the giraffe one of the land marks in Ghana ?
if no,what do you think is the meaning of the giraffe.Not Animals ? It's insulting to Ghana in particular and Africans in general.
Therefore, Delta's own degradation of the passengers it lifts to and from Ghana, as “animals" Status automatically called for a boycott of that Airline by Ghanaians !
Anyway.

Delta Airline is Institutionally RACIST. Just like every other white Nation, they have demonstrated their inner self by such a statement. I call on the Ghana government to ban all flights of Delta airlines from entering our airspace and Kotoka. Did they publish such photos when they drew with England in 2010? Stupid people. Racism really hurts as I have experienced it big time. This is what has enraged the Kenyans to do to them what is hapening today and what has happened in the past. Take you statue of liberty, we will take our land of Gold. Long live Osama Idealogy - Fools; after all you voted a GIRAFFE INTO POWER TO LEAD YOUR STUPID NATION.

Once upon a time we had Ghana Airways. Where is Ghana Airways now? If we had our own airline in profitable business and competing with other airlines including Delta for the USA/West Africa route, why would Delta Airlines find it amusing to post this kind of tweet? At the moment they have no challenger on this route, they treat their Ghanaian passengers anyway they want, often in very degrading manner as I gather. Yet we have no choice but to depend on them to ferry us across the ocean. They are making their millions due to our own stupidity, incompetence and corruption. So what prevents them from mocking us out loud with this racist tweet? While every right thinking person should condemn this infantile behavior, we must also know that our corruption leads inevitably to our failure, defeat and disgrace as a nation. And talking about defeat and disgrace, would anyone ask Kwasi Nyantakyi why he insisted on the Black Stars playing their last friendly match with South Korea on American soil when America is in the same group as us? Did he enrich himself by taking money from our opponents? Let us put our thinking caps on and probe harder. It will be in our interest to find out the truth about this particular Black Stars defeat. It seems like there is a fishy deal behind it.

I live in US and love US, but I can also tell you that most of the ignorant people on this earth live in the US. No matter what, you can't tell them nothing. Somehow, almost all the ESPN soccer commentators think the size and the power of a country as opposed to talents and skills should win soccer games. These ethnocentric ignoramus have never understood why a country (Ghana) "the size of Oregon" should beat US in soccer. Their overrated egos are over the moon now because of that lucky win.

I'm sure if you understand basic analysis of issues. Yes, as I unmistakeably stated, I love US that is why I'm still living here; so, your assumption here is pointless. Plus, you don't even know my country of origin to tell me to go back to Ghana, dumb. I don't know if you get your paycheck from Delta Airlines so you can't understand the simple point I was making. For your information, though, symbols convey meanings in all human cultures. The use of the Statue of Liberty means America stands for freedom, whereas giraffe symbolizes that Ghana is nothing but the land of animals. It is the latter ignorant assumption that I question. I don't question Ghana's lost to US. Again, I hope you understand simple English.

There is nonfreedom know police state,.surveillance usa. Gh is very free. It's the opposite bjt dumb ppl don't know nothing. Gh llst becos we have fools at the helm of affairs who misuse and abuse their power. No checks and balances. If u have incompetent, money hungry ppl running usa basketball. Im sure Angola will even be them. Becos the right players will not be selcted. Players will pay a bribe just to don the usa jersey hoping they can go and win a medal. Bias player selections will mean a weak team. This is what happened to gh. Using primitive methods in 21st century millennium!

If Ghanaians live in a jungle as interpreted by many others regarding Delta Airline post, then the USA have been pigs in a a nice jungle. They cannot still understand why we beat them twice and to me they have not made up. I will be convinced if we meet in another world cup and are able to score Ghana again. You see when the weak wakes up to an unexpected mantle he celebrates with ineffable joy like a hungry pig that has smell a feed yet to be given. To me the USA is the weakest team and will pack home in a weeks time.

This is what happens when you give
people power. There is a proverb that says "if you argue with stupid people
they will bring you down to their level and beat you down with their experience" Lets not argue with DELTA AIR LINES. Lets boycott them. Every simpleton in the known world, knows there are no giraffes in Ghana. People think because of TARZAN Africans wear loin clothes and you have lions and every creature ever created by God roaming in Africa.

Had we maintained Ghana Airways and improved on the services, Delta would not have come to Ghana with the substandard service it offers.
