African Nations are joining forces to push for reparations for their countries AND diaspora on the global stage

[null]

Somehow it’ll turn into black people attacking each other instead of focusing on the common enemy

lmao. africans have to actually run their countries, badly or not, so they are used to having to actually do stuff.

the deplorables just bicker.

there is a difference

No, the US is the Devil, the rest of them are just easily influenced and selfish humans. Instead, I rather strong willed humans who have centuries of experience fighting the Devil to take the lead on the issue of Reparations for Black Americans. (i.e. Black Americans can fight for ourselves.)

Black Americans have led the charge and its been stalled for 35 years

We're 13% of the population and being outpaced in birth rates by Hispanics. I can get the idea of wanting the movement to stay homegrown and the fact that Africa nations will want to benefit themselves to some degree isn't ideal, but this isn't an ideal world

I think seeing the terms they actually want makes sense, but being outright against their current push (not saying you are) would make less sense to me

They can push all they want, just not for us. I am very clear and specific on my stance. I do not want them speaking for us, on this issue at all. I quite frankly do not trust any of them. So if they want to go after the Western powers to get reprations for their countries, well that is their business. Our business and claim is here in the US and I rather we continue to work on the issue for ourselves.

Besides, pay attention to who voted "No" and "Abstained", and you will see just how effective that vote was.

Edit: To make it clear why I do not trust them. It is simple, we Black Americans would not see one red cent of the money they got their hands on it. The US has been giving African nations money for years. Ask yourself this, how much of it was used to aid us over here by those nations that received it?

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/08/world/africa/africa-usaid-funds.html

"The United States provides billions in annual aid to Africa, with approximately $12.7 billion in funding allocated to sub-Saharan Africa in 2024 alone. This funding supports various initiatives, including over $4 billion in humanitarian aid for crises and substantial health and developmental programs."

need to build a unified military force.

need to build a unified military force.

This sounds like a Continental slush fund


Unfortunately, african governance is too weak for this to work in earnest. We are dealing with Nations that can't even keep a sewer system running without funded allocations being siphoned to villas in paris or London.

It's not a bad idea. Its just that most african nations are culturally not ready for it. Systems like NATO require Union of high trust societies. The alternative is what Russia had with the USSR where the ussr forcefully stuck together a bunch of low trust societies by force and hegemony. Modern African nations will fight bitterly against the second scenario due to sovereignty concerns. And while the citizens themselves may support the first scenario, the local Oligarchy willl fight bitterly against the first scenario because good governance gives them less opportunities to steal.


The only countries with the governance for what you're suggesting are Rwanda , Seychelles, and Botswana.

I mean black British got an informal no when we petitioned the UK government in 2014 iykyk

Thousands of Africans unite for Reparations March 2014

A historic Reparations March (1st August 2014) organised by the Rastafari Movement (UK) bring London streets to a standstill as thousands walk from Brixton to Westminster during African Remembrance Month

So we moved on to the Windrush Scandal which has seen more short term results

Source: BBC Payments for Windrush victims denied Home Office compensation


The government has been paying up to 40,000 for people that applied for the compensation scheme and were wrongfully denied. So that's not even the compensation payments themselves...

Although I'm not directly entitled to this compensation my Grandparents are as they were invited here and faced severe discrimination.

As iv said many times there are ways to get compensation from your governments you should start as someone suggested with claiming back taxes paid whilst Jim Crow was in effect. This is easier to trace and its awarded on individual basis....

Look at this glorious display of Pan Africanism on the streets of South Africa

So much unity. Unlike you decisive FBA neegas

African countries who made deals with European countries to sell Africans into slavery, are asking for reparations.

These African countries made money off of slavery are now are asking for reparations

The math ain't mathing
