Black and african are not synonymous with each other. If the celebrations here in cape town have proven anything to me, it is that South Africa truly is the diverse melting pot of cultures that i always knew it was. To call the world cup 'black' is to disenfranchise all the other peoples of this country from their involvement in this event. Nobody should ever take any Australian seriously when it comes to race issues and race relations, their own scarred history is an example of how backwards they are in such areas.
