Kofi Annan went to Maclester (?sp) College in Minnesota as a young man in the late 1950s. He toured the South after his time in school, and while on that trip, he went into a Southern barbershop to get a haircut:

Barber: "Hey, we don't give haircuts to niggers in here."

Kofi Annan: "I'm not a 'nigger', I'm an African."

Barber: "Oh, well, that's different."

He got his haircut. (New Yorker Magazine, 2002?)

In the short term, he may not seem 'correct' or 'strong', but I believe he is motivated by real results over the long term. At least, he has lived in this country.
