and not only that, i once asked one of these "africa needs to pay reparations" dudes online, how exactly was he going to identify who was responsible for slavery? who was said petition going to be presented to? would it be the current kings like say the Asantehene of the Ashantis in Ghana? or the Sultan of Sokoto in Nigeria? or was it the government of Ghana or Nigeria ? and how exactly would you explain and assign blame? Everyone lost ancestors to the slave trade, including those who primarily sold and those who were being sold. what? you think there were groups that were totally insulated and didnt lose people? how could one be so feeble minded. So i ask again, who the fuck is supposed to pay who? If you take the Ashantis for instance, they were big slavers but they were also resistance at the same time (think Yaa Asantewaa, who gave the Brits hell and was subsquently captured). So if you go into Ashanti land right now, do you know who Yaa Asantewaa's descendants are? and do you know who was responsbile for carting off your ancestors? the shit ain'r rocket science to see that it would be damn near impossible to put in place any framework for reparations and yet if you let these so called FBA folks tell it, they will say it should be easy to do, because the jews did it and the japanese did it. let me send their minds at ease. Aint nobody getting a damn dime outta any African countries. the best that will happen is like what's being done now, citizenship and maybe a piece of land to settle on. the quicker they realize this, the better it will be for their mental health
