Jennifer Welch: “They’re so terrified that Zohran Mamdani or Barack Obama isn’t white, but they’re smarter, they’re better looking, they’re more liked. Black excellence exposes white mediocrity and they can’t stomach it”

Asia 9 slots - 2 advanced

Europe. 16 slots - 13 advanced

North America- 6 slots- 3 advanced

South America 6 slots- 5 advanced

Yet one guy was saying Africa’s slot should be reduced . That’s how you shut up people . Africa great job

Has there ever been a World Cup where a team is playing in the host country on the literal same day that the host country is bombing that team's country?

​Famous British comedian Mr. Bean:

​"I am ashamed on behalf of the United Kingdom for allowing Israel to besiege two million people in Gaza, cutting off their electricity, water, and medicine, and then claiming to defend human rights."

​Well done to him.

Maybe the Europeans should have thought about all that back when they were colonizing Africa in the 19th century.

Hi @NYTimesPR, thanks for responding. Appreciate it. I'm a subscriber and I think some of your reporters do some great reporting.
Just to respond to your response to my post:
1) There were no facts "misstated" by me. You cited three examples in response. Only one of them was about specific *named* GOP House members (and it wasn't from "yesterday", it was from a year ago.) So I stand by my post.
2) As others have pointed out already, none of the 3 articles you cited have the names of any GOP individuals in the titles ("Right-Wing Republicans" "a Kansas Republican" "G.O.P. Fingerprints"), in comparison to your original "Who is Darializa" takedown piece. Where is your "Who is Brandon Gill" or "Who is Keith Self" or "Who Is Randy Fine" or "Who Is Mary Miller" critical profile pieces? How about "Who is Tom Emmer," given the GOP House Majority Whip just a few days ago spewed racist crap about Somalis? And where are the Peter Baker tweets summarizing *their* most controversial claims?
3) This isn't a new criticism. Many have made it against your paper for many years; that you go harder on the left than the right, that you even occasionally whitewash the far right. Remember when you had to do a public response in 2017 to a NYT profile that went super soft on a... Nazi? https://t.co/IF6DhTwcrp. Remember when you guys did a softball piece about a far-right, Islamophobic Trump aide's love for cooking? https://t.co/dp0Sf9PQg9.
Oh, and dare I ask: where are the fawning 'Trump voters' in diners' equivalent pieces for DSA members in NYC bodegas? Isn't it time?
4) Finally, that your response to my post was to proudly say you guys at the Times have "been documenting the increasingly extreme viewpoints on both sides of the political spectrum" kinda makes my point for me. One side's extreme wants universal healthcare and an end to genocide. The other side's extreme says Somalis are "garbage" and wants "remigration", mass deportations and white supremacy.
But, hey, "Both sides!"

'Intentarán matarme y sumir al Congo en guerras interminables porque saben que una África unida e independiente, tanto política como económicamente, marcaría el fin de su dominio y el comienzo de nuestra verdadera libertad".

Patrice Lumumba, lider anti-colonial congoleño, vaticinaba en 1960 lo que pasó en el Congo, fue descuartizado y disuelto en ácido por Bélgica y EEUU.... apenas un año después de estas palabras.

🎙️🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimovic after South Africa beat South Korea to qualify to the next round

🗣️ “I think this is a message to FIFA, they need to bring more African countries to the World Cup. Nigeria should be here too. Africa’s football is different. They don’t play unnecessary passes. when they get the ball, they attack you immediately. That’s the kind of football we want.

Europe’s football is boring, too many back passes and too many tactics. Morocco and South Africa have qualified to the next round. Morocco is the best Africa team in having possession. South Africa is the best in counter attack.

I think an African team will reach the semifinals this year. I’m happy,they deserve it. Africa should be the best, Mbappe should be playing for Cameroon, Olise should be playing for Nigeria and same for Vini too. I wish the whole of Africa luck in this tournament”. 👏
