Ok first off, calm down. Secondly, he could just as easily compared it to
Russian Rubbles, Japanese yen, German mark or any other currency that has a
high amount when exchanged with the US dollar. Which does not mean there is
anything wrong with that country. And there are countries that are have a
better exchange than the US dollar as well. I am sure he was not centering
on any one country or being racist. He did not say anything against
Africa, just commenting on the exchange rate and that perhaps the reason the
auction sold for so much was because was due to the exchange rate.

Also take note that right after the comment in question he said it could
also have been any number of things, such as a mistake on the bidders part.
