Hi folks,
I posted something at another forum which i belong to. And i thought that i should share it here:
As you might well have figured out, Philadelphia has it's share of bad apples. Just like any other large group of people.
And i heard more than one personal attack against this guy, Matumbo.
"He does not have an ounce of talent."
"I think that he is clumsy"
"No skill whatsoever."
"He was born tall. So what."
And then i hear folks on the radio poking fun at his accent.
etc, etc.

In honor of his humanitarianism, Mutombo was invited to President George W. Bush's 2007 State of the Union Address and was referred to as a "son of the Congo" by the President in his speech.[19] Mutombo later said, "My heart was full of joy. I didn't know the President was going to say such great remarks."[20]
