Figures he'd be hiding among the ancestors of the people who sold us into slavery.​
He said that slavery was a choice so they chose to sell people into slavery.

Seriously though y'all should read about the history of the Gold Coast (modern day country of Ghana which is not the Empire of Ghana) and Upper Volta (modern day Burkina Faso). Interesting reading and slave trading in that area was based upon two wars that the Ashanti people had against the Dagomba people and the people of Gonja. The Dagomba and Gonja lost those wars so they were required to pay the Ashanti a war debt. The Ashanti wanted gold, but the Dagomba and Gonja didn't have any but agreed to pay with slaves instead. That is how slave trading started there, but before that war there was no known slave trading in that region. Most of the slaves in that region came from the Northern part of modern day Ghana and Southern Burkina Faso, but eventually the people in Central and Southern Ghana became targets of the ever widening wars for slavery.

You should read up on the history of the Dahomey.

Without African cooperation, there would be no slave trade.​
Dahomey is in the modern day country of Benin, which is not the Empire of Benin that is in modern day Nigeria. Dahomey is not in the same place nor are they the same people as the modern day country of Ghana which was formerly the Gold Coast.

Damn ya'll stop hating. Going to the motherland will be good for Ye and his mental health. Might be the best chance we have to save this brother.

You can win with these ppl lol.

Always someone scared / negative “but.. what about the”

“But they did this..”

No solutions, just crying. Tired of our ppl sounding like emotionally battered women.

It would be good to invest there & be around ppl who look like you.
