Listen on @ 16 minutes onwards , in spite of being talked down Kitty gets a chance to express very important points about the future of Africa and its potential economic power🧐
It is sad that the Ghanaian brother, if still alive would be disappointed at the state of things in Africa. We have continued to live in hope as if it is a reality at hand. It is difficult to defend the state of African countries after their independence. Africa is her problem not the West. We no better in pre-colonial era.
Africa has not had any significant change after colonisation. After all, we are still colonised because the western world keeps interfering in our system and also keep sponsoring us
@@opnspa55 because we let them interfere. We have leaders who negotiate trades and govern the continent as their private business. I don't believe we are that less humans and stupid to blame the west for our failings. I ain't thinking that shit again Bro.
As Jamaican, I'm very proud of this guy from Gold Coast now Ghana. Very smart and intelligent guy. American youth are very ignorant, they don't know anything about what going around the world, that's why most of them says Africa is a country not a continent... long live mama AFRICA. Babylon is failing down 🇬🇭🌍🤜🏿🤛🏿✊🏿
The teacher likes to try and talk over and belittle the Aussie and Ghana guys. Both boys seem more knowledgeable and less brain washed then the teacher.
The Ghanians in this series are smart,their faculties of logic and reason are beyond high school.They answered questions which are still relevant today to the average African.
The honesty of these students is always astonishing, and the discourse is so telling of the attitudes at the time. The argument of fear put forth by the Ghanaian and Australian students was very insightful, as was the Ghanaians thoughts about every topic especially on the independance of his country, because what he lays out is exactly what the british, french, americans etc are afraid of. This was a time for oppurtunity for Africa to become independant and build from the fruits of their land and labor, yet in many cases, to differing degrees the exploitation by colonial and corrupted powers continued. That is why the americans and others don't talk or teach about Africa because if they did people would know what happens and Buisnesses/Government don't like that. Fear continues to blind us from possibility and our denial of fear as by the south african stops us from realizing there's nothing to be afraid of.
I am an African and I don't think she was in any denial. If you were to be a descendant of white south Africans you would say exactly what she said if not more extreme. Everyone defends themselves in the world.
@@napoleonokugbe3110 I don’t think that you being African changes my opinion or changes anything for that matter. I understand that she is only perpetuating what she’s knows. My comment however specifically is commenting on when the guys said to her “you are afraid” and you could clearly that she heard herself but just kept on; therefore it seemed like denial. I understand the mess her ancestors put her in. So many are in the fall out of their predecessors.
Everyone’s rightfully in love with the Ghanan dude. But I love how the Aussie bloke came on American TV and directly challenged the concept of the American dream by saying America doesn’t even have equal opportunity for their children because schools are run by communities and not the state, and not all communities are equal, so not all schools are equal, so wealthy families who live in wealthy areas will have better education for their children. Then when the Ghanan dude started talking about home, he played wingman and asked questions so that the convo stayed on what the Ghanan dude wanted to talk about, even though he clearly came there prepped for a long talk about schooling.
There something significantly wrong with our education and educational system at large! My goodness, where did we go wrong! This was what, some good 79 years ago and Ghanaian students at 17 were so articulate and aware. Their thought process was superb and they had such command of the English language, correct pronunciation and sentence structure. I’m just amazed!!
Waoh. Knowing this happened in the year my mother was born feels a little strange. These young people are definitely from her parents' generation. Just a little younger though. These people were well read in spite of not having the internet.
This whole series have made me realize that this current generation is in deep problem. The era of technology and social media is doing more harm than good.

In all the videos with SA students, this lady is the one who spoke the real truth motivating the separatism. All the other students were hiding behind helping the Bantus develop and etc.
Good observation. Maybe because she was the first student sent to these televised debates (1954) and in subsequent years the SA government made a point to tell the delegates they were sending about what points they're supposed to hit and how to answer questions?
I think the accent in the GoldCoast was different from today’s Ghana probably they mingle with the whites and perhaps they have white teachers, doctors? am the only Ghanaian hearing the sweet GoldCoast accent!👍😆
The American accent back then was different from what it is today too. Accents are social organisms. They evolve. The way your ancestors spoke your native language 150 years ago would have been very different from how you do today.
"Philadelphia is a village very very near to Cape Town?" and she starred at her for moment think "girl.....are you out of your mind...where in the hell do you find Philadelphia in Cape Town?" I am from South Africa and never was a Philadephia here.
You see the answer is in your question. You are talking about the blacks being given this or given that. That say's who is in charge, and how di they get in charge? The reality is the whites are more advanced and that's just it. They are ahead in the race. That's all. We may catch up in the next century or 2 but for now we have to stop being gun-shy and say what it is.
I have watched a few episodes of these debates and I am very saddened if not overwhelmed by the submissions of the South African delegates whom I noticed so far to be white... It almost seemed some of them were brainwashed and almost always very defensive. I really Hope most of their assertions about their people(the Africans) have significantly improved and likewise that of the Africans to the whites (I believe that was what Mandela stood for). # We must be very careful who we teach our children to become.
They were definitely brainwashed. They weren't allowed to talk local politics at school and were taught apartheid was the only way. Its the sad reality because I believe without this brainwashing the countries race relations would have been so much better!
People who were chosen to be exchanged students are usually the cream of the crop. And the exchange students that were chose to be on the shows where the top of the exchange students. So you're looking at the cream of the crop of the cream of the crop.
Eeei so what happened to the Gold Coast (Ghana) ? cos we showed so much promise back in the day and it felt like we’re on pace to be one of the most educated nations on the surface of the Earth.
1966 coup destroyed Ghana. From 50s to 1966 our education system was one of the best. After the coup most of our best teachers and other professionals left the country.
$200 for school fees a year. Yo! We need to go back in time cause this year 2021 students in USA are in huge student loan debt! Education so costly. I'm glad I got scholarship for my education
Why is the Ghanaian student seated at a lower chair level compared to the other students? Any one notice that? is its these power dynamics that are there but not said or just plain coincident?
We thank God that now in South Africa this apartheid is over. Because you could see from how this white south African is talking they wanted to be a white country with blacks like in USA
@@ghostfacealpha29prime89 A tv show? We had some messed up laws at this time. Racism was rampant and the government itself participated in it to a high degree. The American government does what it can to uplift the white community while it sabotages and oppresses the black community. White Americans had the same nonsensical fears as the white South Africans. That if they treated us fairly and we lived truly as equals in harmony that they would disappear. Foolishness.

Good observation. Maybe because she was the first student sent to these televised debates (1954) and in subsequent years the SA government made a point to tell the delegates they were sending about what points they're supposed to hit and how to answer questions?
@@MentalHealthTreatment well that explains a lot.
True
Great observations, also very aggressive and always enforcing their points on people. This guy from Ghana and Boniface handled these debates properly
What bright minds!! Love how the Aussie basically called out the irrational fear of the South African whites.
Eish... Too soon.
really proud of the Ghanaian.
So true, i wish i sent my son to Africa or Europe for high school. I noticed our kids dont learn much in the USA
That should be Boris Kodjoe's grandfather.
I did not expect the Ghanaian and the Australian to agree on most things
our ghanaian reps back then year to year didn't disappoint us . proud to be a Ghanaian
the OZ and Ghanaian guys have very interesting views
I think the accent in the GoldCoast was different from today’s Ghana probably they mingle with the whites and perhaps they have white teachers, doctors? am the only Ghanaian hearing the sweet GoldCoast accent!👍😆
I've definitely noticed it😀
@@jarazy1232 The accents back then was much clearer.
The American accent back then was different from what it is today too. Accents are social organisms. They evolve. The way your ancestors spoke your native language 150 years ago would have been very different from how you do today.
The same way American accent has also changed. It was closer to British accent then when you listened to the moderator.
"Philadelphia is a village very very near to Cape Town?" and she starred at her for moment think "girl.....are you out of your mind...where in the hell do you find Philadelphia in Cape Town?" I am from South Africa and never was a Philadephia here.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@missbarn2396 Philadelphia is a town located between Durbanville and Malmesbury - about 45 minutes drive from Cape Town
Oh my gosh that girl from South Africa with that hat 🤣😂🤣 I can’t !
The South African young girl was too afraid to say she was afraid. 🤦♀️
Then if you think you can get along with the black why don't you give them the right to choose their government or their president?
You see the answer is in your question. You are talking about the blacks being given this or given that. That say's who is in charge, and how di they get in charge?
The reality is the whites are more advanced and that's just it. They are ahead in the race. That's all.
We may catch up in the next century or 2 but for now we have to stop being gun-shy and say what it is.
Reflection of our Rich Days, oh how I wish we of today wi have even in excess. Ghana was and is blessed
Social media is killing our young ones of today!
Love this dearly 😘
"we have three already right now, we don't want more" 😂😂
the moderator was very good .. she made sure she sounded very neutral
The moderator just wanted Elaine to make sense but she wasn’t... Segregation was a big issue in USA then
I have watched a few episodes of these debates and I am very saddened if not overwhelmed by the submissions of the South African delegates whom I noticed so far to be white... It almost seemed some of them were brainwashed and almost always very defensive.
I really Hope most of their assertions about their people(the Africans) have significantly improved and likewise that of the Africans to the whites (I believe that was what Mandela stood for).
# We must be very careful who we teach our children to become.
They were definitely brainwashed. They weren't allowed to talk local politics at school and were taught apartheid was the only way. Its the sad reality because I believe without this brainwashing the countries race relations would have been so much better!
@@LB_die_Kaapie You are right Meghan.
Brainwashed is the word. That is why Apartheid, a twisted and obnoxious policy FAILED: It was FAKE borne out of HATE , ARROGANCE and FALSE DOCTRINE.
when will africa wake up😢
This south african! Goodness😤
Our high schoolers of today are nowhere near this articulate.......Are not this eloquent.
People who were chosen to be exchanged students are usually the cream of the crop. And the exchange students that were chose to be on the shows where the top of the exchange students. So you're looking at the cream of the crop of the cream of the crop.
Eeei so what happened to the Gold Coast (Ghana) ? cos we showed so much promise back in the day and it felt like we’re on pace to be one of the most educated nations on the surface of the Earth.
1966 happened.
The assassination of Nkrumah was our downfall
1966 coup destroyed Ghana. From 50s to 1966 our education system was one of the best. After the coup most of our best teachers and other professionals left the country.
This were high school students back then.. Keep that in mind.
I actually move with Dick in this one. Fear is the reason positvie change is stagnant in South Africa, today that statement still stands.
Ghana’s education system was better in those days.
I think so too
$200 for school fees a year. Yo! We need to go back in time cause this year 2021 students in USA are in huge student loan debt! Education so costly. I'm glad I got scholarship for my education
You've made me laugh. 1954 $200 is today's approx. $2000. It's called inflation.
Why is the Ghanaian student seated at a lower chair level compared to the other students? Any one notice that? is its these power dynamics that are there but not said or just plain coincident?
Lol prolly nothing to it fam. 😆
The Australian student demoted the US education model
Well listen to Mr Australia 'our teachers are better'
We thank God that now in South Africa this apartheid is over. Because you could see from how this white south African is talking they wanted to be a white country with blacks like in USA
That's true. Unfortunately these mindsets have been passed down.
🇬🇭
This is when America was great
In what ways?
Do you see programmes like this in our time?
@@ghostfacealpha29prime89 A tv show? We had some messed up laws at this time. Racism was rampant and the government itself participated in it to a high degree. The American government does what it can to uplift the white community while it sabotages and oppresses the black community. White Americans had the same nonsensical fears as the white South Africans. That if they treated us fairly and we lived truly as equals in harmony that they would disappear. Foolishness.
@@ghostfacealpha29prime89 You have no knowledge of American history back then.
@@chiefsarkodie4651 and I guess you have all the knowledge ryt.
What happened to Australian guy? Why his accent is not like Aussie
Today what can we boost of. Have we improved or we are declining.let think twice.
Improved. He addressed how many schools were back then and you can compare to now.
@@multyz1 ,yh u are right bt the quality is declining bro
