Forget unity. Let each sovereign state implement free markets, and remove unnecessary burdensome regulation. That prosperity will make collaboration much easier across the whole world. But African politicians don't want that. They wouldn't be as rich and powerful as they are now.

This person says it was Haiti who ended slavery by revolting. But he forgot to mention that this revolt consisted of slaughtering all the white people - men, women, and children. This set back the course of abolition in the South due to fears of facing similar slaughter.

What a coincidence that all holocaust deniers are Gaza genocide believers.

Correct. When the corrupt UN says food is a "human right" what they mean is the West must send humanitarian food aid parcels to starving Africans who are too busy fighting wars and killing their own farmers to be bothered about feeding themselves. Some "right".

Virtue signaling 101.

Capitalism creates so there’s more for everyone. Socialism is the weaponization of greed and envy making everyone worse off.

The Transatlantic Slave Trade is now being recognised as the “worst crime against humanity”… Whilst 🇱🇾Libyans are literally selling Africans as slaves in 2026. Why is crimes committed by Muslims always ignored?

Freedom requires responsibility. And responsibility requires knowledge. When the basis of what you know are lies and half-truths, you become susceptible to demagoguery.

Some people are not truth seekers, nor do they care for fairness — they just care about whatever construct of reality they have made, and the resulting ideological bubble that they live in; owing to that construct.

Reparations are a stimulus package for the elite, fueled by the manufactured anger of the people. Real healing isn't found in a UN speech or a check, it's found in accountability and innovation. We cannot build a modern Africa while looking in the rearview mirror. Anyone using 1826 to excuse the failures of 2026 is selling a scam. It's time to move on and build.

high rise buildings has nothing to do with development btw

1. I have taken to a term: "low-info elitism", to describe what I see often in Ghana. 2. I am not being disrespectful. Just factual. The burden of having a middle class education is to go beyond the surface in national/international debates. Using bigger English alone is not enough. 3. So many middle class folks talking about UN General Assembly votes on slavery & reparations as if some new controversy has broken out. 4. Yet the 1st UN resolution on slavery dates to 1949 (the so-called "problem of slavery" text). And since the Durban declaration (2001), we have had ~10 on reparations. 5. Every year or so, we have a follow up resolution on the "Durban framework" regarding slavery, and sometimes reparations, more or less repeating the same stuff with different wording. 6. Over the last 2.5 decades, consensus has fallen, positions have hardened between the so-called Global "South" & "North" (or "West"), and no new ideas have emerged on how to close the gap. 7. Here is a sampling of such resolutions: 71/181, 72/157, 73/262, 74/137, 76/226, 77/205, 78/234, 79/161, & 75/237. 8. Attached is a chart of the trend of voting, which shows the widening Gulf. As well as extracts from two seminal resolutions. 9. In a debate over such an issue, you would expect some awareness of this beaten path and some fresh ideas about how leverage can be built for any serious activism. 10. No such luck. Just grammar vs grammar. I am not even sure, scanning my feed, that folks who should know such stuff are aware of the Durban process and the annual votes. 🤔

This is what Zohran Mamdani’s wife celebrated.

The Japanese that received reparations were the actual victims of the internment camps. Current black Americans are many generations removed from slavery. Time to move on.

Iranians have been without Internet for 27 days.

Because the media refused and still refuses to report it.

Stop cutting down TREES!!!!!!

Leftists only “care” about kids when they can blame the Jews for mistreating them, Otherwise, they’ll k*ll a fully formed child in the womb before brunch…

The reparations debate is a distraction from the fact that African countries have failed to deliver for their people. Their problem is incompetence, corruption, and lack of human capital, not centuries-old slavery practices. This is pathetic.

“You are insulting the Iranian people's right to self-determination by claiming that this is some sort of Israeli project. Where were you 2 months ago when the Iranian regime slaughtered over 40,000 innocent & unarmed protesters because they wanted to live in a free & democratic society?” ~Ghamari tells a man who claims the w@r in Iran is an Israeli project
