The way the God in Ghana is so concerned about football and not corruption is crazy to me

People aren’t just inherently law abiding in developed countries. The laws actually work. You can’t just do anything and get away with it. The laws have worked for decades and have shaped behavior and culture. You don’t have that in Ghana. You will never have that in Ghana.

Can we stop with This
"First African" Nonsense
It gives Eurocentric Institutions so much Power over our Minds and Aspirations

@kwakulotteryy This is a common problem at some airline counters at Accra International Airport. At the Morocco Airline desk it was as if them telling you the counter is closed is their favorite part of the job. In other International airports the desk staff would be trying to get you some help

If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to figure out what was wrong with it.

When humans do it, we put them on the cover of Forbes.

[‏ً @itsnwts]

in order to become a better person, you must first realize how horrible you really are. not in the dramatic sense, but in the quiet ways you sabotage yourself, repeat unhealthy patterns, hurt people who care about you, or tolerate what wounds you. you cannot grow if you keep pretending you're innocent in the story you created.

[Magatte Wade @magattew]

When Africa becomes prosperous, racism against Black people everywhere will drop dramatically.

That's not wishful thinking, you can actually watch this pattern play out in history.

The Japanese were heavily discriminated against in America until Japan became an economic power. 

Then suddenly Japanese culture was cool, Japanese products were premium, and the hostility faded. The same happened with South Korea.

Prosperity rewrites how the world sees your people. 

Nothing else even comes close.

[Jordan Sumbu @JordanSumbu]

It’s happening again. Just as it happened in Ukraine. Just as it happened in China when African migrants started to become targeted during and after their Covid lockdown. Nothing in this world, not even humanitarian crises can shield Black people from anti-black racism.

Some people have the type of power where they cry and the universe reacts. Be careful
