    My deepest love and care go to Fifii and Marline equally whether in life or in death how ever current reality of now on who is where may reveal. Life or death, I deeply love the souls into these two equally perfect characters, Fifii and Marlene. I know for sure,your Father in heaven was indeed proud listening to you here once more. Your lives did not come on earth in vain...you two have made an unerrasable blue print and I feel I dearly miss being with you both personally although I have never been and most surely will never be with you personally. I love you dearly, my true angels, Fifii and Marlene!

      @afro_samurai8713 Před 2 lety +13

      It's kinda the same accent still for a lot of Ghanaians.
      I think kids can be as educated as these ones if parents intentionally expose them to good literature outside of their regular school stuff.

    • @Atlas24gh
      @Atlas24gh Před 2 lety +7

      it's still there. Ghanaian accents are not the same. Depending on your ethnic group or mother tongue, the accent can vary. The delegate from Ghana spoke with a Ga accent because Ga was his mother tongue. Educate Ga people still speak like this. Maybe you want to say Ghanaians were more fluent in English than they are now

    I disagree with all of you saying Fifi is agreeing with Marlene now. When you are alone and keep arguing about the same thing and the other person is not willing to see your perspective you get tired. That's why in the last statement he said "who is with me, who? That made me a bit sad.

    • @bs1512
      @bs1512 Před 2 lety +3

      Yes I don't think either of them was allowed to fully express their actual views and feelings. If Marlene had given in and said something against the apartheid regime she would've had trouble returning to her family and south Africa. These views I'm. Nor sure if they really come from her since this is a state event of some sort. I assume Marlene has actually changed her views and I assume their. Friendship was also just a way to show: hey apartheid isn't bad look the girl has an. African friend. From listening I got a really weird vibe. Also from. The audience (the non white audience especially) there was more going. On there between the lines than what meets the eye

    • @the_rastislav
      @the_rastislav Před 3 lety +20

      That's not what she said... she said se has better understanding now, because she experienced prejudice on her own... that she knows how it feels when everybody looks at you and judge you as group and not individual. The statement was about feeling, not about scale of discrimination.
      anyway, i still have the sense, that people watching these videos do not understand their purpose. Today everybody has to dominate in conversation and cheer for one side. The beauty is to watch people discuss, have different opinions and listening to their different perspective, and still seeing them respecting each other.

      @@the_rastislav its easy to say this when you have no clue of what conspired before, during & after 1955 when this conversation it took place. Mass killings, wide spread segregation, excessive limitations, biased employment, and much more , all in favour of the ruling class. Marlene, simply put, was merely glossing over these facts as they were already prevalent at the time and they, as youths of South Africa, were indoctrinated into believing Apartheid was a must, and that the so-called "natives" needed to be ruled in order for them to become self sufficient eventually. Today, we as a non white people are so segregated due to the past atrocities that we can not even come together in our small factions and make SA a better place. We are told so easily to get over the past, forgive & forget but had the roles been reversed, I guarantee the minority in SA would not be able to do just that. Also, they are reading most of the time so all their commentary is premeditated, so don't expect any of them to angrily lash out and call a spade, a spade.
