Reply to "Namibia, another African country that adopts the Portuguese language"

Those of us who remembered how hard the freedom fighters had to fight to break the grip of colonial exploitation that the Portugeese had on their African colonies would laugh at this.

The Portugeese were one of the last colonial powers to give up power in Africa. They were still fighting in the mid 1970s' to keep power in their colonies. They even used payed white mercenaries from all around the world to backup the Portugeese army in these colonies. To adopt the language of the Colonial oppressors shows us that colonial mentality is still deeply engraved in our brains.
