[South African] Trevor Noah [current "Daily Show" host] said a phrase in Xhosa he said translates to "In times like this we are stronger when we fight together than when we try to fight apart."....Except that’s not what the phrase translates to - not even close.

Actually, we do - you’re lying when your lips move, just like 99% of politicians.

Hollywood is a joke.
Period.
Which is why most of us didn't watch.

Actually, the joke is on people like him, because the sleeping giant is awakening.

White conservatives know you’re lying, Noah. It’s white liberals who trust you. And you showed them, didn’t you?

Well, unless they're from The Netherlands.

The Dutch hate the Boers and pretend to NOT understand Afrikaans.

Afrikaans actually contains quite a few words that sound just like German words; however, they don't mean the same thing. It's one reason why I gave up trying to learn it...I know some German and just kept getting very confused and I was probably too old to attempt learning another language.
