How long can blacks put up with such sarcacist remarks from Caucasians? If you don't grasp her tweet and simply see it as a 'joke', then you must be very naive.

For God's sake the woman is a comedian and not a Vice President . Her job is to tell jokes, so we as Ghanaians should not be upset about it and be calling her out of her name. We can not be serious about things like these (SPORTS) to have people talking about slavery and all. All we have to do is to tell our coach to separate emotions from his selection and to field the seasoned player on the squad. I was lol at Ellen's joke. Way to go Ellen, because this is a new day.

Americans think the usa is the world and no other country matters or exist. They'll ask you the dumbest questions such as, whether Africa has any airports or planes. I simply tell them I flew to America with wings on my back.

It took her longer because she is dumb!
Many Americans have no clue of places beyond where they live. Some few years ago, a presidential aspirant had portrayed Africa as a country! How dumb!

Every Ghanaian will definately feel insulted by Ellen DeGenneres unguarded joke of not finding it easy locating Ghana on the African map, rather than the insults and labelling her lesbian and all; her unfortunate gaffe should allow us to do a self assessments of who we are and we persive ourselves in the eyes of the world. Is it not funny we claim so many "first" in Africa to do everything and yet the rest of the world do not recognise or see those as any achievements to make noise about.?

How funny Allen DeGenneres could locate Africa but struggled to find its gateway which Ghana has always claimed to be. It tells a story of how Ghanaians deceptively believes Ghana is easily a recognised territory on the surface of the earth because of first to attain independence or football that most parts of developed world don't see as any means of national achievement either than for business and or entertainments. Allen DeGenneres insults probably will help in changing our mindset of self importance and also change our orientations to sought to achieve meaningful international recognitions rather than the cheap route of football achivements which most countries see largely as entertainment sports; anyway.

Sad how most Americans knows very little about africa except the usual pictures of starving people, wars and animals. But majority of Africans can pinpoint America on a map and knows a lot of history about it.

If you are a woman and decide to have sex with women ,it will take you years to locate where Ghana is .

Typical of an illetrate ,who calls her self an American.

She was only stating facts and I don't see anything wrong with it. Everyone needs to chill because I am sure if she was not famous we wouldn't even be having this conversation!!! Grow up and get over that you lost.
