We'll move past slavery when the world moves past racism, till then no we won't move past slavery

Black people should be able to go to college 100% for free for the next 100 years

There’s a start on reparations

American slavery is really unlike any other country’s slavery

highly doubt anything will change in america for the next 50 years, unless one of these protests offsets an early race war

The last thing we need in this country is a civil war

How?

Descendants of American slavery or Black immigrants included?

This what I have a problem with. He’s a immigrant that came here and ate off the backs of all the African Americans that struggled. If they didn’t struggle there is no Akon, there is no lane for him to produce music. You aware of the black culture to make a profit but when comes times to the struggles you don’t understand.

living in a bubble

it had reprecurssions that lasted years after slavery was over. Still going on today too

Any black American who has ancestors that were here in the 60s or before imo

Okay, but there was an entire era afterwards right? One where groups of angry white men could lynch a black man and laugh about it over tomorrow's dinner consequence free? Suck a d***.

Delete this

America bad ☹️😠

Socially 9/11 jokes are becoming more and more prevalent soon it’ll just be another joke like Pearl Harbor maybe in my lifetime

Why is Akon positioning himself as the spokesperson for how all Senegalese/Africans feel? Also,is he aware that the systems we have in place right now are a byproduct of slavery?

Libya,an African country, is still deeply affected by slavery which is still happening as we speak .

No money for me 😞

Actually I take back what I said.

Black Americans should be paid $200 a week to go to college available for 50 years

Then I’ll call it even. Not even remotely kidding either. People who don’t believe in reparations are complicit in the countries history of systemic racism and slavery

Sorry dawg America ain’t the only one

Damn near every country on Earth owes it’s Black population reparations

As a west african I understand his mindset

We have this forward looking, independent outlook but like senegal is still one of the poorest countries in the world, not all, but partly contributed to colonialism

There are many successful african americans. In fact most african americans are doing well but again the effects of these injustices still reverberate whether u want to be positive or not

Personal action doesnt trump systematic infrastructure 100% of the time

Just what it says lol

Took me a while to understand this

The discrimination and institutionalized racism that African Americans compare does not compare to any other country's. Especially have a significantly more black population than anywhere else

Properly compensated? Come on man.
