This is intentionally vague for a reason. Ghana/the African union has been on this thing for a few years where they want to control a “global reparations fund”. In all of their documents Black Americans aren’t even really mentioned. They talk about UK, Caribbean, and Latin countries but leave Black Americans in the “others” wording. They’re just giving fluff to the US to bolster their agenda.
Delegates at a reparations summit in Ghana have agreed to establish a Global Reparation Fund to push for overdue compensation for millions of Africans enslaved centuries ago during the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
