Mahama at the UN: "The transatlantic slave trade was the gravest crime against humanity." Huh? Pre-colonial Ghana alone had 63 slave markets. And slavery in Ghana continues until today. I've seen it myself. Africans captured, enslaved and exploited other Africans for over a thousand years, in huge numbers. In Ghana the perpetrators were especially the Ashanti, Fante and Ga-Adangbe. The immensely rich Ashanti-king (picture) never apologised nor paid reparations. And there were annual human sacrifices in their capital Kumasi.

President Mahama is leading Ghana's historic push at the United Nations to recognize the Transatlantic Slave Trade as the gravest crime against humanity, with a landmark resolution set for tabling on March 25, 2026. 🌍🕊️

Ik had laatst drie jonge Belgen in de auto, en we reden langs een paar VOC-pakhuizen in Amsterdam. "Bent u trots op uw geschiedenis" vroeg er een. "Ja" zei ik, "De navigatie, handelsgeest en zeemanskunst van die mensen, dat was indrukwekkend". Direct was er een diepe stilte. Ze realiseerden zich dat ze bij een onverbeterlijke racistische schoft in de auto zaten.

“Jongeren zoeken naar zingeving en verlangen naar heldere goed-foutverhalen. In academische kringen wordt tegenwoordig het westerse kolonialisme beschouwd als dé bron van alle kwaad. Kolonialisme heeft de plaats ingenomen van wat vroeger de erfzonde was. En wie is de perfecte zondebok? Niet de Verenigde Staten, Canada, Australië of Nieuw-Zeeland, maar Israël werd hét voorbeeld van een settler colonial state, zoals dit wordt genoemd: een koloniale vestigingsstaat, waarvan in dit geval de Palestijnen het slachtoffer zijn. Dit narratief klopt helemaal niet, maar de Palestijnse pr is briljant. En de Israëlische diplomatie, de hasbara waarover zo complotterig wordt gedaan, schiet ernstig tekort” - Jessica Roitman

The Ishango bone is "possibly" a mathematical device, a socalled tally stick. But the scratches might have been made to create a better grip on the handle of some instrument. If it really is an "advanced mathematical tool", then show me other evidence in technology, architecture, agriculture, mathematics, trade, book-keeping or astronomy, made possible by this "sophisticated calculator".

@azmadu Racism + Misogyny + Indifference = Capitalism?? You live in a small chaotic space in your head. Get some quality education, anonymous @azmadu (too many flags and obsessions).

@tonsmit @betterman6777 @DOmowale Yeah and next you'll be presenting the Black Book of Communism to indict Joseph Stalin for all the miwwions and biwwions he killed. It's boring to listen to this all the time. Find something to do other than denigrate Africa and its people. Feed cats or something!

China didn't face the challenges which Africans have faced. Comparisons between Africa and China which fail to acknowledge this are deliberately disingenuous.

@SanderSassen @groenlinks @AmsterdamNL Deze GroenLinkse wethouder Zita Pels deed een MBO-opleiding paardensport en heeft een master in Religie-studies.

De verkiezingswinst is wethouder Zita Pels van @groenlinks naar het hoofd gestegen. Iedere illegaal is welkom in @AmsterdamNL, en wordt met alle egards ontvangen, het kan niet op in deze socialistische enclave. Vergeet u niet uw gemeentebelastingen op tijd te betalen?

You are UNBELIEVABLY INGORANT. This famous old photograph has nothing to do with slavery in Africa. The photo shows mr. Lewis Martin, who became seriously wounded during the American Civil War, fighting in the 29th USCT "colored regiment". He was wounded at the Battle of the Crater. It's one of the most famous photos of the American Civil War.

Where was GOD during Slavery in Africa?

@betterman6777 @DOmowale Thank you. So it's Kwame Ture aka Stokely Carmichael. His outfit indeed looks from the nineties. Very strange that he talks so positive about Mao Zedong, at least 15 years after his death. By then the crimes and mismanagements of Chairman Mao were well-known.

@tonsmit @DOmowale Kwame Ture and it’s the 90s

Of all people that I've met who talk rubbish, you talk rubbish the most, @seragoth03. So you claim that the millions of victims of the internal African slave trade during more than one thousand years could go home after work? What about those who were ritually killed as human sacrifice? Also voluntarily?

@tonsmit @AfricanHub_ The slavery you're thinking of and the one that was actually used are 2 different things. The slavery that dates pre-colonialism was VOLUNTARY physical labour to pay off debts or to trade....people could GO HOME at the end of the day. Colonisers allowed none of that!!!!

Kwame Akoto-Bamfo 🇬🇭 created a series of sculptures placed in water to honor Africans who drowned during the transatlantic slave trade. The powerful installation serves as a memorial to ancestors who lost their lives while being transported across the Atlantic Ocean during slavery, reflecting on history, loss, and remembrance.

@DOmowale China after Mao Zedong did not face neocolonialism because the Chinese know how to organize (and defend themselves).

@betterman6777 @DOmowale Yes, I surely watched the video. Must be from the early 1970's. Who is this guy?

@tonsmit @DOmowale Did u watch the video ?

@TyreekAdams12 @MercifulMessage Once again I really don't know what you are trying to say, @TyreekAdams12.

@tonsmit @MercifulMessage if you didnt copy paste the shit you just said without reading, you would

Lies First, Islam does not force non Muslims to convert or die. Especially not civilians. This is why Christian communities still exist and thrive in Muslim conquered lands Second, that is not the history of what happened. These Christian’s were at war with Muslims, and after the Blessed Leader Muhammad Al Fatih’s army entered Otranto, they gave quarter to the inhabitants and stayed for 1 year according to primary sources. The story 800 Martyrs is a fictional tale written by Catholic Chroniclers DECADES after the opening of the fort who were not even present…and the story was used as a propaganda piece by the Catholic Church to continue its unjust wars against Muslims

@TyreekAdams12 @MercifulMessage I really don't know what you are saying.

@tonsmit @MercifulMessage modern Egyptian Muslims are descendants of ancient Egyptians or Copts or whatever, they converted, and no they arent magically transracial arabs.

I don't know who this gibberish talking outdated propagandist is. Must be from the early 1970's. But his name is forgotten -which is a good thing. Mao Zedong's totalitarian regime resulted in tens of millions of deaths, mainly through famine, as well as political persecution, prison labor, and executions. So why do you admire such cruel totally evil incompetent dictators? From the 1980 sensible leaders like Deng Xiaoping and later Xi Jinping finally started to make China prosperous.

@AfricanHub_ Why is this slavery? Is a riksha driver in Kolkata also a slave? And a taxi driver or plumber?

Slavery practices are still happening

@santamonica2070 @zoomafrika1 Idi Amin didn't bow to the British. Wow, what a hero.. In that case it's completely irrelevant that his regime killed between 100,000 and 500,000 people in Uganda and that he ruined the economy. Good thinking, @santamonica2070 from Nigeria. You are a hero too.

@zoomafrika1 @tonsmit Idi Amin refused bow for the British and didn't travel out of the country

Idi Amin Dada, the Conqueror of the British Empire challenging other African Countries to work against imperialism.OAU Summit, Khartoum, Sudan, 1978 .🔥🔥

@DYNASTYJD @UvgtdERt4PWmcjF You should of course take into account that of the American population 58%–59% is "White" (non-Hispanic) and 12%–13% is "Black" or African American. What's the reference of the picture/study?

All Copts are Christians. "Copt" is a term used for the native Egyptian Christians, belonging primarily to the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. This ancient Orthodox Christian tradition dates back to the 1st century. They make up the largest Christian community in the Middle East. Copts are the indigenous people of Egypt, predating the Arab Muslim conquest of Egypt in 641 AD. Copts trace their Christian faith back to the 1st century AD. Ancient Egyptian civilisation belongs to them, not to Arabs. And yes, Al-Sisi inaugurated the Cathedral of the Nativity of Christ in January 2019, located in the New Administrative Capital east of Cairo.

@tonsmit @MercifulMessage you're pretending like all copts are christian Is the funny part. But anyways Egypt build the biggest cathedral for them in the middle east. "Not thriving" apparently. Dont be retarded, understand this you live in a Muslim country it makes sense Muslim are the majority.

@Scivf4 @grok Please explain

@miiniiiie Male-dominated Islam is evil and hypocritical and often sadistic.

Realitäten aus dem #Islam. Eine Muslimin wird aus nicht näher erkennbaren Gründen öffentlich verp**gelt während sie wie Vieh an einem Baumstumpf festgeknotet ist. Wann realisieren Deutsche denn endlich das diese Ideologie absolut nichts friedliches an sich hat und vor allem Kinder, insbesondere Mädchen und Frauen verabscheut. In diesem Sinne, euer 💙 ₘ ᵢ ₙ ᵢ 💙
