To be fair since none of us are black professional football players I don't think we're in a position to make comments that are anything other than pure opinion or guesswork...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not sure the fact that he is Black ever came into it. Ronaldo, Pele, Ronaldinho and Henry are all black, and are regarded as some of the finest players to have played the game.

Making this into a race issue is over-simplifying.

Also, the fact that we aren't black professional football players doesn't really matter a jot. It is purely opinion on his part that he isn't getting recognition, I think it's fair to say being shortlisted for POTY is pretty much fact that you are.

Yes there is.

Ali Bernabia didn't get the credit he deserved and he's not black but is African.

What a dilemma.

I wish haf was here, he's the only one round here qualified to solve such a dilema through complex arithmatic..

He's never struck me as somebody as somebody you'd miss in a group of players.
Very talented too..

He has touched on a truth however and its that Football only considers S America and Europe as the centres of Football...all the others are "developing" the game.

Colour isn't the issue as someone said earlier but our perception of players from areas outside of the 2 hotspots is.

Can't relate to his feelings on that matter, not being African. But he's not up there with then on ability. They're special even amongst the geniuses

That is true.

It's like saying Europe has as good basketball sides as America.

Nope. Kanye makes some of the best music in the whole of rap.

He is far more arrogant but is a musical genius and does receive that level of credit.

People hate theirselves for liking his music but he is such an arrogant fool but facts are facts, he's an undisputed genius.

He moans about a lot, his recognition for his music isn't one of them.

Only one African player has ever deserved to be recognised as world player of the year, and he was.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No he didn't.

Most under served poty award in history. Around the time Africa became a big deal in the press.

He didnt lead his team to anything significant and was truly average in terms of goal return.

Ronaldo?!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope you realise that the Ronaldo playing at Madrid wasn't the only Ronaldo to have ever player football. I was of course referring to Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima, aka, the original Ronaldo.

They really really do.

You think real hip hop heads don't think that college dropout/ late reg/mbdtf are classics then that's just bs.

Apart from yeezus and 808s(which isn't really. A rap album) he's stepped up everytime.

When he was behind the scenes making beats for Cam'ron, Jay-Z and the like he had respect, He sold out years ago, Trust me true hip-hop heads don't respect Kanye.
When middle class white people listen to your music your not hip-hop anymore.
