@Reuters Wao!!! Congratulations.
@Reuters Welcome brother
@Reuters He's black? 🤷♂️ Keep up the division. AUSTIN IS THE NEW DS!
@Reuters Congratulations!!!!!
@Reuters Yay good. He’s the right color. Does he merit the position?
@Reuters Ability is a cream that rises to the top. May there always exist an environment in which it can. Good luck to the man. Tough brief, but a very wise and experienced man thinks he’s able.
@Reuters Free Ugandans from the Dictator Museven
@Reuters What fncking barrier is there to break? Didn't they already have a Black President some 4 years ago who served for 8 yrs? Is there any position higher than the President's? So exactly what fncking barrier is being broken now? Must everything always come down to racial politics?🤔
