Africa revives push for colonial-era reparations

[GURPS]

Reparations 'long overdue'​

This week Ghana's president, Nana Akufo-Addo, revived the push for slavery and colonial retribution.

"No amount of money can restore the damage caused by the transatlantic slave trade — and its consequences — which has spanned many centuries, but nevertheless, it is now time to revive and intensify the discussions about reparation for Africa," Akufo-Addo said at a summit on reparations and racial healing in Accra, Ghana.

Ghana was one of the points of departure for many of those enslaved in West Africa and, for the Ghanaian leader, the time for reparations for colonial crimes and slavery is "long overdue."

Well as soon as they start with the descendants of The Kingdom of Dahomey, Kanem Bornu, The Kingdom of Allada, The Aro Confederacy, Ashanti Empire, Songhai Empire, and Mali Empire who sold Africans to Europeans ... a discussion maybe had about the European involvement

And repatriate all descendants of former slaves back to Africa ... that is the only FAIR action to take, returning them to their ancestral homes

For your consideration ...

Way too funny. Participants in the slave trade themselves, lead by the Chiefs and Kings of each land or tribe, and profiting handsomely from it, demand reparations. That some twisted rewriting of history shiat right there.

Dear Nana Akufo-Addo:

I believe probably the best thing we could do for people who were taken from their native land, and the people who stayed there and had their relatives removed would be to return them.

Lincoln had the right idea, but that idiot Boothe killed him before he could get it done.

Adam and Eve did me wrong and I want reparations from the beginning of humanity.
