Since my life changing trip to Ghana I’ve received much love but I’d like to focus on the minority of haters right now. I know some negative eyes are reading this looking for any excuse to reject what I say. I could take the easy route and reject negative folks but they are the ones who might benefit the most from what I have to say and besides- I love them too.
Hell...we American blacks are SUPPOSED to think negatively about connecting to our homeland because that’s how we were conditioned to think! We’re SUPPOSED to think; all Africa was, was slavery when only an extremely small portion of the continent was even involved in the slave trade. We’re SUPPOSED to see Africa as starving people and jungles. We may call ourselves African Americans but we are truly disconnected from Africa. I say WE because I’m not excluded! I thought “my people” came from South Carolina which I now see, is as stupid as a Chinese man saying his people came from Ohio! I tracked my heritage and South Carolina was only a small part in the journey of my people that began in Ghana, a place that had kings well before Europe had theirs. For me to be appointed by the King Odeneho Kwafo of Akwamu is far more relevant than if I were knighted by Queen Elizabeth who’s royal bloodline doesn’t go back as far. Ghana is the 8th African country I’ve visited. They’ve all been astoundingly beautiful, with classy and very educated people who speak more languages than we do. To the negative folks-Maybe you can begin to direct that anger toward the mindset that finds comfort in you hating your own people and threatening for you to unite with them in solidarity. I believe the original culprits are long dead but their policies are alive and well. Jews visit Israel, Italian and Irish Americans proudly visit their homelands and no one seems to have a single negative thing to say! They have a country that loves and embraces them and WE HAVE A WHOLE CONTINENT THAT LOVES AND EMBRACES US!

Nobody's really checking for this dude like that and if he's giving energy to a few trolls in his comments shame on him
Basically. That's strange that he would even pay attention to it. I saw his post. There might have been 2 not even negative comments on that post out of THOUSANDS. And he comes back even dumber.

1. It's funny that he says "people think of slavery when they think of Africa when it was only a tiny part involved in the trade"

Well guess what sir? The place you went to? THATS ONE OF THE PARTS. Kingdom of Asante sold a shit ton of slaves, your ancestors included. That's why your DNA traces you back there. So it's entity possible that the ancestors of the people who sold your ancestor, just made you a fake King, in an attempt to fleece you for money.

2. Kinda goes back to one. They ONLY MADE YOU A FAKE KING IN HOPES THAT YIU GIVE THEM MONEY.


3. That part about isrealites and all those other places being homelands - Jews went and settled and MADE that Homeland. The Irish didn't get sold from Ireland. Neither did the Italians.and only those who have a living relative even bother to claim those places as homelands. They're American LIKE YOU. So NO, You don't have a WHOLE continent as your Homeland. That's just ridiculous. If your DNA says Ghana and you wanna claim that, then you have to work towards establishing that RELATIONSHIP. Culture is way more important than genetics and your culture is not any part of Ghanaian.


Anyway, that's enough time for now. I understand he wants to have a relationship with Ghana and that's cool. But you're not a king bro. You're a bomb ass actor and writer and martial artist. That's enough.

1.3 million followers.:dunno:

Niggas go out of their way to say condescending and negative shit then call the person strange for addressing their bullshit. :lol:
Is that just an IG post? That's only gonna go to people who agree with him anyway.
1.3 million followers.. Im sure some of the shit talkers are among that number. And if not, it made its way back to BGOL so those who had critical commentary here get to see it too.

I didn't write no comment on his page. I saw his 1.3 million followers all calling him KING this and that. I didn't read ONE negative comment. There was maybe one or two comments that didn't praise him like everyone else but if I had to guess the percentage of comments LIKE THAT I saw , it was maybe 1 in 1000.

He can do what he wants, it's his page, but he's literally taking to a bunch of people who already agree with him about.... Maybe 4 people. Maybe he comes over here. But then that can't be true because none of it was about negative things about Africa. He ain't a king, they do give out titles like candy over there, and they did sell slaves-- not ALL Africans but particularly where he went. This is why they have those castles they make.you pay to tour now. If the truth is negative, sorry.

I still love Ghana, that's just an.issue that has to be tussled with. Shit, they already agreed and apologized about it.
 
Every famous black American is made king in Ghana?
The title must be meaningless....When they actually
give him gold, cattle, or wives, we will know that they
are serious. But what does poor Michaal Jai White
know about being a king? Does he know the growing
season? Does he under understand their culture to
adjudicate disputes? Can he mediate conflict? Can he
understand their aspirations and chart a course for
them? This is why ceremonial regency is meaningless..


I have nothing against the American, but the Ghanaians
should really give this up. If they are serious, they should
discuss how they can involve him in business investments
beneficial to him and them.
