Prez. Mahama insults farmers

President John Dramani Mahama has surely stepped into it! He has shown that he has a deep aversion for the poor of the earth and an over-arching dislike of his own dark skin.

In what would strike many blacks in the diaspora as ironic, President Dramani Mahama ironically traveled to the United States of America to launch his autobiography, a book in which he makes rather disparaging remarks about the skin of a member of his race, as well as his antecedents as the son of a farmer.

Ghana's economy runs primarily on agriculture even in the year 2012, and disparaging comments about cocoa farmers is hitting where it hurts, in the gonads.

Writes an inspired President Dramani Mahama, who is a trained communicator, on Page 40 of his book “My first coup d' etat', “I wasn't at all surprised to learn that his father was a farmer, though I would have guessed that it was an animal farm and not a cocoa farm, because Ezra looked as though he had been born, raised, and fed, though uneducated, had made a lot of money for himself.

He wanted his son to attend Achimota, the school where the doctors, lawyers, politicians, and other members of the upper echelon sent their kids. With good reason: Ezra was a bush boy; he was tactless and uncouth. Little by little as the days and weeks wore on he revealed more of his nature.
