just some of your "greatest" hits:








We already have it on the books that the U.S. knows it owes the descendants of the killing fields of the now USA reparations. We already have everything we need. We don't need to tag along with Africa or the Caribbean.

There are TOO MANY c00nS IN AMERICA

Thats the reality.


We need to get it together.

Become more educated and self assured.



We are ignorant broadly and lack confidence in our abilities and its killing us in so many ways

Re-read my posts. They aren't about Ghana being whatever it is you think they are, I don't care about that. My posts are about non-FBA/ADOS people using FBA/ADOS history to advocate for global reparations. That's dumb and not feasible.

Don't use FBA/ADOS history to advocate for reparations for everyone. That's all I am saying.

:manny:



I never voted for Trump, but you did vote for Trump:
again, i want you to link me and us where in the official resolution or the president's speech at the UN is anyone calling for reparation in the form like you think? you said in your og post that he's here to collect check and take it to Ghana. where is your proof?

and where does he specifically focuses the resolution only for fba?
when one of your biggest/ most poplar Pan Africanist is calling Bullshyt - u know u done :ufdup:


you really think these fba youtubians are the figure heads for pan africanism and not the Traores and Dangotes? :pachaha: these are pan africanists by nation who actually affect geopolitics. not doctor Omar and professor black fiction

true panafricanism can only be practiced in black countries. not in far right countries like America, Atgentina and Israel

I fukk with Dynast, but there is not a more inspiring black man alive like Dangote or even Traore

Coli nikkas: Who is this tether talking about my American history.

We must protect the racist white slave owners.

I'm not exaggerating that's really some shyt y'all said before :laff:


Exactly


Its utterly pathetic that supposed black men would curl their lips to this.


We are so fukked as a people.

Basic fukking code, something like this should be 100 percent across the board.

Yes, I understand that. I also understand that was not the only part of this thread either. The other part was the Ghanian president over here talking about reparations. So if they had just kept it about their own grievances with the Western powers, than I would not have a problem with it. Them trying to drag us into it is where I do have a problem.

Edit: So they can fight for what they feel they are owed, but I do not want them attempting to speak on our behalf. Keep the claims separate.
I'm not sure how much of this you're aware of but this isn't a case of Ghana dragging any group into anything. Representatives from across the diaspora chose to be apart of this. Black American reps from the CBC to the California reparations task force were in attendance during the various summits in Accra

That was my personal intepretation of the US vote and abstains breh. I understand your interpretation but I'm trying to understand: Do you think its GOOD that the US voted No or not?
You say you understand, but it is very evident you do not trully undestand. If I called it a crime, yet the US and Europe are unwilling to recognize the crime they committed, then that should have told you that I do not agree with the US, or Europe's, actions in that vote. I have no clue why the context of my statement was not very clear, but does the above now make it perfectly clear to you my position?

I will add this to it too, I also know they will never admit to the crime, leaving themselves open to it being used in a legal process. With the UN lacking any enforcement power, and the US having veto power over any attempt, the whole vote at best just highlights what every Black person should already know about the Western Powers.

Well, I would need to know which actual CBC members were there. Not all CBC members are Black Americans for one thing.

Second, my opinion remains the same that I do not desire for our claim to be lumped in with everyone else's. I do not desire for any foreign agent, especially from areas that participated in the slave trade, to speak on our behalf at all.

That's fine, no organization speaks for all people. I'm just clarifying that Ghana didn't just decide to do this on a whim with no input from other vested parties

Current Leadership​


Clarke was born in Flatbush, Brooklyn, on November 21, 1964, to Lesley Clarke and former city councilwoman Una Clarke, both immigrants from Jamaica.[1][2] She graduated from Edward R. Murrow High School and earned a scholarship to enroll at Oberlin College in Ohio, which she attended from 1982 to 1986.[3] While studying at Oberlin, she spent a summer interning in the Washington, D.C. office of Representative Major Owens, where she told Roll Call that she worked on legislative issues involving Caribbean-American trade.[4][5]

In August 2006, Crain's New York Business and the Daily News reported that Clarke's Oberlin transcripts indicated that she had not graduated, contrary to what her campaign literature claimed.[6] Clarke initially said she thought she had earned sufficient credits to graduate from Oberlin, then later said she had completed her degree by attending courses at Medgar Evers College.[6] In 2011, Clarke suggested that she planned to finish her degree at Oberlin by completing independent academic projects.[7][8]

Breh, I'm just trying to gather your opinion here:

Very simply, is it good that the US is one only 3 countries to give an outright NO to the resolution? I'm not asking if its "on the books" and what that means or whatever
You say you understand, but it is very evident you do not trully undestand. If I called it a crime, yet the US and Europe are unwilling to recognize the crime they committed, then that should have told you that I do not agree with the US, nor Europe's, actions in that vote.

Along with the zeal for those of us affected to pursue it. So yeah. You're right in saying they don't wanna pay, and the UN has no enforcement power, but the precedent as mentioned early is overbearing. So its strange your first post was about Ghana rather than the US or abstainers. Ghana, the rest of the continent, and the entire caribbean were not in lockstep with this fear.

Your opinion amounts to a condom wrapper in the garbage

this womans ethnicity is irrelevant to her raw incompetence


she couldnt even finish her degree and then lied multiple times about it.


Bad character of the CBC to have these sort of people in leadership positions.


This is what corrupts the community.


dishonest idiots in charge.


they are easily compromised and make poor decisions.


an unreliable broker for the black race in america

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