"Not All Of Those French Football Folks Looked Like Gauls to me." - Barack Obama At Nelson Mandela’s 100th Birthday in South Africa

Barack Obama who was the 44th President of the United States America from January 20, 2009, to January 20, 2017, was present on Tuesday the 17th of July, 2018, at the 100th birthday celebration of Nelson Mandela who was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, political leader, and philanthropist who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999.

It was an amazing time as he made his highest-profile speech since he left the seat of the President of the United States of America. He urged people worldwide to respect human rights.

The highlight of the event was when Obama said in his speech that immigration is a strength stating this: "Just look at the French football team to wild cheers at the just concluded 2018 FIFA World Cup. Not all of those folks looked like Gauls to me, but they are French - they are French."
