@amackieee It is WELL known. That p^litical inst^bility affects the bourgeoisie and the upper class first. Pls look at the French Revoltn. WHO do we think the working class and in Ghana’s soci^list co*p orchestrators were rebélling against, if not those of the upper class? Abeg. Lol
@amackieee The fact these names you mention do not mean anything in recent memory to us in the zeitgeist is all the evidence you need. Names like Rawlings, Mahama have clear resonance *now*.
@amackieee Power structures don’t remain when some have been taken out lol it’s like saying a house still stands if only some of its foundations have been removed. It literally can’t.
@amackieee You’re trying to allude to these families have some backdoor power bi. Doesn’t exist in the way and strength you think.
Too much faux intellectualism on this app. There’s too much “wink wink” IYKYK- based on nothing on this app. we have to hold ourselves to a higher standard.
@amackieee The coups disrupted the traditional power structures in Ghana and transferred it to political class and families, some wealthy families who don’t have legacy. Most of the things these families were recognized for were BEFORE the coups.
@amackieee You’re alluding but never explaining *your* take on the connection. These connections vary VERY widely from country to country. Title, Class and power is different in the UK vrs US. Eg- many UK titles people have no money, but influence.
US have wealth and power but no titles.
@amackieee Respectfully, girl- like what point are you trying to make? It’s giving aspersions with very little backing.
Because there are some names that prominent in high society, yes. But like what power are u trying to say they have? Political? Because of their names? Money what?
‘You can’t blame the leaders; people have built in waterways.’ Actually, you can. Buildings don’t magically appear overnight. If those responsible for planning and enforcement had done their jobs, many of these illegal developments would never have reached this point. Bffr
Mind you, there was a time in the United States when Black people were legally enslaved and treated as property under the law. There was a time when segregation was legal, and interracial marriage was banned in many states. There was also a time when Black people were denied citizenship, excluded from voting through discriminatory laws, and systematically prevented from accessing equal education, housing, and employment opportunities.
