That doesn't jive with what you said earlier:
AightNo
I never expect America to agree to pay reparations until FBAs get more political leverage.
You're right, yet there's a fuss made over something ADOS has zero interest in. The UN is some might as well have been some fantasy shyt and now look. LackinAre you quite well? The UN ain't gon do shyt. They can't even stop them from genociding the Palestinians.
The UN doesn't have an enforcement but I'm beginning to think concepts for a future none of us are will ever see are being formed. This is one of em. I'd hate to go down as ol girl that was on Joe Clark's ass in Lean On Me. Or Stephen in Django, etc
the woman couldnt even finish college.
a woman not finishing college is even more concerning than a man.
any well read black person knows the game.

Yes, I know I have ancestors who did. I also have a lot more ancestors who did not, using your own logic.Yes they did, we are also not going to act like they were the majority. They were a very tiny minority who had the advantage of superior weaponry.
The descendants of those captured far outnumber the descendants of those doing the capturing on the continent.
I would also like to remind you that some of those who captured others also ended up on the slave ships as well when the tide turn against them. You probably have ancestors who captured people as well.
Still, my problem is the slave traders were in leadership positions. They were not rogue elements on the continent commiting barbarity, they were attached to official governments. So I do not want the descendents who were not enslaved making reparation deals for my people who are the descendents of the enslaved. It is pretty much my single position point on this. If they want to argue for themselves, so be it. I don't want them arguing for us.

Who is you? You telling me I sold slaves because I'm African?
How do you know my African ancestors weren't captured and sold off?

STFU. This is the second time African tried to claim, or finagle their way into, our shyt. We not having it. We will push back against any incursion. They sold us once and it's not happening again, foh.You're right, yet there's a fuss made over something ADOS has zero interest in. The UN is some might as well have been some fantasy shyt and now look. Lackin

New York’s African American mayor will put a stop to that
Please, show me how it contradicts what I said earlier? Take your time with it.

I'm pretty sure the current president of Ghana is not of royal lineage. Also, being of royal lineage doesn't automatically mean your ancestors sold slaves. There were kings and queens who fought against slavery.
He is not making reparations deal for your people in America, he is asking for reparations on behalf of families and descendants of slaves currently in Ghana.
Who did they sell your ancestors to? Are your people from some other part of the diaspora? I ask, because if you migrated here from the continent, or your parents did, then at best you were enslaved by your own on the continent. Your grievance would be with the very nations that participated in the internal slave trade.Who is you? You telling me I sold slaves because I'm African?
I don't care what his ancestry is. He is not of my ethnicity. What I find interesting is that you are trying to plead for allowing the Ghanaian president to speak on our issues, while also admonishing some Black Americans on who are we to speak on African issues. Do you not see the irony and hypocrisy in that action?

Who exactly are you talking about and where did he say that?
