I hate to hear when people call our brothers and sisters in the diaspora slaves.They were never slaves,they had their proud extended family and clans ,they had their own religion that they worshipped,they had their own culture,they were boasting of their own God giving language and skills and they were living on their own ancestral land of which nobody treated them as a second class citizens.This horrible slavery took everything from them as if they don't exist,they were not allowed to enjoy their own God giving destiny,when I look at all these 42 Forts and Castles that the Europeans built to perpetuate these holocaust I feel so angry,even after 400 years of building these Castles and Forts you could see that they came to Ghana with a strong mission and nothing could stop them,the huge Canyons and hard concrete walls.I support the First President of Ghana,Dr.Kwame Nkrumah,he knew this that is why in 1947 he drew the return of the Africans in the diaspora law but unfortunately,in 1966 the Americans plotted and overthrew him,W.E Dubois and George Padmore and Marcus Garvey knew it,that is why they asked our First President,Dr.Kwame Nkrumah to burry them in Ghana ibecause they wanted to sleep with their ancestors when they die.This current President is reviving the old law by telling our brothers and sisters to come home,because they have wallowed for so long,they should atleast step foot on their ancestral land to receive all the blessings from their ancestors who were left behind and to those who died in the Americas.

I get angry 😡 when our Ancestors are referring as slaves, truth is they were not slaves, they did live with their family 👪 some are 👑 queen's and King's, Princess 👸 and Prince before they took them to all corners of the earth 🌍 to used them as slaves , stupid fools who 🤮 commit this crimes should be ashamed of themselves.
