An ADOS and a Ghanaian...here we go

[CopiousX]

So I’m playing with some ideas grounded in education and literacy. Perhaps eliminating book deserts in blk communities and linking African American children with African children for reading programs and peer tutoring or even virtual learning spaces. Maybe have an international African American and African school system with one private school in America and a sister site in Ghana.

Develop a culturally responsive curriculum. Could start small with a private tutoring company and expand.

that's brilliant. You've thought this through quite a bit. Love the concept of teaching them together

You're an idiot
Please don't ever bring your bytch ass to Africa
Since you'd rather stay in the CAC-ruled country that oppressed said ancestors you pretend to honor
What a load of subservient crap
The stuff you read on this forum....

I think its more of a resources thing. Its not so much the ancestors(and bloodline) so much as it is the institutions, wealth, and industry that they helped create. Even if the avg ADOS is locked out of 97% of it, that 3% is bigger than the entire gdp of subSaharan Africa.


You're effectively asking him to leave all of that behind to redo the work of the ancestors in a far flung, foreign location with none of the above amenities (except for SA).




At the end of the day, a porter in the king's palace is in a strategically better position than a beggar in the streets

They have all the answers though - let’s just pick up and go be disenfranchised moreso in a land that we are generations removed with no home ties, not to mention the economic divide with people who have historically assisted in the slave trade which is how we were brought here in the first place. Not to mention the practice of tribalism. If you really want to get technical - those african nations owe AAs, reparations too. But that’s another discussion. @Supper

Africans don't have to pay reparation. All of our ancestors were engaging in tribalism.

Eh. I guess. Ghana looks like a beautiful nation. But I fear there is no such thing as a promised land on earth. Just nations each with their own flaws.

Every nation can be a promise land if the inhabitants of each nation put in the work to make it great.

You think i’m talking out my ass, when deductive reasoning could’ve saved you this embarrassment. Here you go buddy

Comparing Genetic Ancestry and Self-Described Race in African Americans Born in the United States and in Africa

Please read the abstract, results, and then discussion found around the middle of the page. Here’s one of my favorite blurbs:

“We found that among participants, there was a significantly higher proportion of admixture and higher variability in admixture proportions, in the US-born AA cohort compared to a population that emigrated from Africa (i.e., Nigerians) (Table 3). The significant variation in individual ancestry estimates among the AA cohort suggests that this group, like the CHS AA cohort(15), represents a diverse population consisting of several subpopulations.”

^ in regards to the bolded...when I said i have recent ancestry from Tanzania and Angola, while a Nigerian prolly has both Yoruba or Igbo parents and grandparents, this is what I was talking about.


The discussion even said the small “other” percentage these African immigrants showed was likely an error.

Respect.

But I still think you should claim your African-ess

notice they only want us to spend our money $$$ to built their continent up


we good ...

That’s called an investment that you could likely live off of not to mention your children’s children.... wise up fam and get money, if you build the continent you own the continent

Yeah, but our "Africaness" is broad as shyt though. How am I suppose to rep a continent of 50+ countries? That makes no sense. Even if we(ADOS) takes a DNA test, we'll likely have 3+ African countries pop up. Which of those 3+ countries am I suppose to rock? Not to mention, we don't know which tribes our "Africaness" comes from. We all know, that tribes are important in WA. Nothing against WA or Africa as a whole, but we're not African, we're a mixture of various African tribes/Euro blood and in turn became our own distinct ppl.

Its not 50 countries, last time i checked the likes of Morocco Egypt Zimbabwe etc were not involved directly in the slave trade. Its more like 10 countries, Nigeria, Cameroon, Benin(these 3 are basically the same), Ghana Ivory coast(these two the same applies) Gambia Congo Senegal and Angola. Each pne one of these countries and peoples have shared history, there are Fulanis in Nigeria just like there are Fulanis in Mali, there are Akans in Ghana just like there are Akans in Ivory Coast. Benin is basically a Yoruba state, and Ghana has links with Mali going thousands of years, even west Africans are a mixture of other west African peoples, just like Anglo Saxons are a mixture of Norman, Saxon, Viking peoples, nothing new under the sun.

lol Pan Africanist in 2020 are cut throat capitalist.

So, all of that emotive "motherland", "home of our ancestors"(as if they weren't sold), racial paradise talk was just a front to make big bucks and secure development contracts? lol

shyt, if that's the case. We can do that any damn where. Asia, Europe, South America, the Caucuses, the Caribbean. fukk is Africa so important?

Lol wtf.
