Ghana's president, in New York, says US is 'normalizing' the erasure of Black history UPDATE: UN recognizes slavery as humanity's gravest crime

[Pazzy]

I'm gonna say this right now, but some of you gotta stop falling for the bait in these threads, y'all just as bad as the ones you're arguing/engaging with, which happens to be the usual a$$holes and idiots on here.

The topic of the thread should be why America (particularly White folks), Argentina, Israel, and pretty much all of Europe (pretty much all of CAC society worldwide) opposed recognizing slavery as humanity's gravest crime...

Instead, it's devolved into a conversation about Ghana “this and that”, making them out to be the villain/issue in this topic when they're actually the ally trying to help Black people worldwide, and especially, Black Americans, as well as calling out and exposing America's everlasting moral hypocrisy.

This is why Black people will continue being in these dire situations because of the aforementioned below...too busy going at each other over trivial nonsensical matters.

You know the agents are out and about.

The transatlantic slave trade was very complicated. And they are here trying to act like they exactly who did what.

We don't even know if @Uachet 's ancestor was a renowned slave raider who ended up on the ship himself.

I don't know if they are really serious or they're just being mischievous. The transatlantic slave trade was very complicated. And they are here trying to act like they exactly who did what.

When you realize these types are afraid of the white man it all makes sense

It’s why I talk about them like the dogs they are

This a very heavy point A LOT of ppl seem to gloss over, slave traders/raiders themselves who were often double crosses by Portuguese and other European slavers and ended up enslaved themselves. Like ppl have no Idea how common it was especially with the Muslim Africans up in Mali/Senegal at the time. There's a detailed book on this too. The story of Ayuba Suleiman Diallo happening to other ppl also is not that uncommon

I don't know, and there is no way for me to tell. What I can tell is the history of my family going all the way back to slavery here in the US. There are records for that. Do you have records of whom among your people were taken and to which area of the new world they were shipped to work? If you don't, then you have at best a tenuous connection to the TAST.

That is the difference between your people and mine. You are arguing about what possibly happened, while I am arguing about what we can prove happened and have documented support showing it.

 

[Gunz&Butta]

You sound like a white person, to be clear. Treat ppl decent and dont SELL THEM. That should be a baseline.


Is El Mina not a tourist trap? Did they not just have a Year of Return? Who tf you think you playing with?

I don't know if El Mina is a tourist trap or not. It definitely shouldn't be.
I'm pretty sure you're going to be mad regardless of what Ghana does. If they do a year of return, it's a money trap. If they don't, they don't care about the diaspora.

 

[Uachet]

I find it amusing how far he reached on this. He is talking about how complex it is. Yea, it is extremely complex if you don't actually have any data, records, historical documention on the issue. It is pretty darn simple for us Black Americans though, because we have all of that and more.

Edit: What I find even more interesting is how much some of us stating we do not want to be included in their claim bothers him.

I don't know anything and you don't know either. You don't have any records of my people or my my "people's leaders" who sold slaves. You don't know jack.
And because you don't know who is who, you and @HarlemHottie want to put all Africans in a box and slander Africans. We aren't going to let that happen

 

[Dihsarm]

Every single African and Caribbean country voted in favor. Look at the abstainers... This Is The Problem With Pan Africanism?

Doesn’t surprise me one bit, especially looking at the countries that voted red. On a different note, Argentinian cacs are some of the most racist people you would encounter

This

I almost bushed thread because I was lost in TheColi’s favorite sport… arguing.

Completely agree. Rather argue with each other trying to be “right” instead of focusing on what’s actually the real elephants in this room..

The most slave beneficiary countries voted against this law or abstained. And these are the countries we live in

Some of you negros are miserable.

Everything is confrontational and argumentative.
