“The entire transatlantic slave trade was designed to deny African people their humanity” - President John Dramani Mahama 🇬🇭

Ghana’s President John Mahama warned at the UN that erasing Black history in the U.S. risks global consequences as nations move to recognize slavery as a grave crime against humanity. Efforts to reshape museums, school curriculum, and historical narratives tied to slavery and racism only deepen the harm. When truth is erased, injustice is empowered. We cannot build a just future on a rewritten past. Telling the WHOLE truth about America’s past is the foundation of progress!

Ghana didn’t sell slaves, Ghana didn’t exist then. Some locals were involved but much of it was driven by violence. Chiefs were threatened, killed or removed to force participation. Don’t rewrite history to dilute the scale and responsibility of the West's industrialized slavery

Ghana, the former Asante Kingdom, was most certainly complicit in the Slave Trade. As were other African peoples such as the Dahomey Kingdom current Benin. I don't hold a grudge against them, but we, the people they sold, are not going to pay them one red cent for reparations.

Do yall realize that if the Democrats were in office, they would have just paid reparations to Ghana?
