Shadow374What is the link between the ashanti kingdom and the Ghanaian government today which opposes slavery? This is like if I blamed the genocide of the Native Americans on trump
many African leaders (shiet just about every one of them nowadays) will go out of their to make sure their families name continues or becomes firmly established within the ruling elites as many have never had anything in their lives. being the lineage of that elite means you can never denounce or else risk being ostracized by your peers, even if they save face by opposing such atrocities that happened in public. just like Jacob Zuma stood next to Nelson Mandela as leaders of South African Apartheid eofforts and Zuma became corrupt and money hungry. just is what is in Africa when it comes to maintaining wealth for you and your legacy and your friends

You cant compare the African elites of today who just exist to be puppets to the west and give away resources to the leaders pre colonization.
Africa had a style of governance and capitalism imposed on it its not our fault

If Ghana believes the Atlantic slave trading was worse atrocity in history and demand compensation
Do they mind seizing the descendants of the Asante merchants and royal families wealth, The Asante current king is still around in Ghana and he's worth 40 million will Ghana actually use him to fund reparations ?
Where I'm getting at is the talks of reparations should strictly be for the diaspora not Africa Ghana should not be talking about any compensation unless their contributing to it

Why would the wealth of individuals be seized? Thats not how reperations work unless the wealth was directly stolen from the people effected

Asante empire was a major slave trading kingdom and the Asante elites still have a lot of power ...
Is the Asante king willing to denouce what his forefathers did and contribute to reperations ?
His net worth is 40 million

Slavery is older than the transatlantic slave trade. Y’all yts be tryna use this “Africans sold Africans” as a red herring to dodge the smoke. What the Transatlantic slave trade did was perpetuate dogmatic belief that those of a darker skin - blacks as a whole are subhuman species who are built to serve their white masters (Danes, Portuguese, Brits, Germans, French) I think it would be a stretch to assume African leaders of the time, are knowingly participating in the perpetuation of that systemic belief.

Was going to say this but didn't want to bother. This is only said in an attempt to prevent any sort of reparation or punishment from those responsible.
"If you gonna punish whites you gotta punish the Africans that sold them too! Since we know y'all don't want that y'all can't have any reparations!"
Thing is this shouldn't even need to be brought up by an African nation in front of the UN. What should happen is that these individual countries should take responsibility and provide reparations to their citizens. The "Africans that sold slaves" shouldn't even be a part of the equation. Only reason why they can throw that out there is that another nation is doing it on an international scale on behalf of the diaspora that are constantly oppressed in their own country and thus will never see justice for this worst crime in human history

First off those African kings forced ppl onto those ship at gunpoint they didn't gaf what happened to them at all they just wanted resources elites sent their children to study in Europe and South America lots of times
the East African and Saharan slave trade was going on for centuries before Europeans and Africans started them up,
Portugal conquering the Swahili coast specifically helped them get experience with a trans oceanic trade system which would help start the transatlantic trade system
Middle eastern and North Africans were using anti blackness to justify African slavery long before Europeans came along multiple African societies had entire chattel caste systems based on it
On the East African coast the elites were Persians/Arabs the admixed Swahili a buffer class while the Bantus slaves were at the complete bottom,
Persian scholars had a whole idea that Africans from the interior were close to animals because humidity so hot it destroyed their brain so it was ok for a Muslim to enslave them until their descendants became rational..

Black Americans dont need a foreign country to help them get reparations Ghana has no leverage on the US now for the rest of diaspora
They can speak for themselves let Caribbean countries and South American countries speak on reparations on their own not some African politician its just out of line for him to speak on behalf of others

Need every help we can get. How many years since slavery ended and nada? Any meaningful progress that has happened is actively being reverted by the current admin. Nothing wrong with what Ghana is doing. I know ultimately it will lead to nothing but at least it's bringing attention exposing how the nations responsible really feel about the topic

You never know I been hearing more reparation talk from mainstream politics 2025 to now than any time before
I'm just saying the discussion ended up being "Africans sold Africans into slavery" primarily because Ghana became the center of attention on the transatlantic slave trade being a historical crime ...
It be better if Jamaica or any other diaspora country said it

You do not really understand the real depths of the trans Atlantic slave trade, and furthermore colonialism, to even be saying this nonsense. What country in the Diaspora has a higher international standing than Ghana? Black Americans are not even recognized as a conquered people on the international stage to even have a voice.

Well if you read any books about the devastation of slavery, you would understand the terrible effects it had on the continent. They stole and massacred millions of Africans, set the continent back hundreds of years, and set up bases for colonial then neo colonial exploitation that lasts all the way until today.
The largest Pan African movements were yes in the Caribbean but also in Africa! Kwame Nkrumah? Sankara?
