So let’s look at the AES all these years puppets have been in power, they never brought about any form of progression for the people. Now you have leaders who said we are going to do for ourselves, control our resources, fight and push back people hell bent on destroying us and these men are consistently criticized. Their lives are constantly threatened. France even suggests they aren’t legit. Macron said they’re behave poorly. So please tell me if we have a clear example today of how the game truly goes why do still pretend to be blind? Lumumba said “the minerals belong to the Congolese people” and the killed him and installed a puppet. We aren’t this dense, surely.
@thee_alfa_house China also trade its human capital for the opportunity to create the good intern they learned the tech, then produced tech and now own the market.
@thee_alfa_house I would contend China’s true genius is written in strive for unification which started more than 2000 years ago. We cannot discount the importance of that move and how it’s shaped the China we see today.
So are you implying he doesn’t say X to people’s face and only behind their back? I can’t imagine that being the case. On the campaign trail oh he was loud about China and China robbing us in so many words now it’s I have great respect for President Xi and so forth. Which is it?
@Julie98050036@Addiskk@Reuters That “hey hey hey” in its immediate approach dam sure seems condescending. He wouldn’t dear do such in Europe. People make noise and protest there and they keep talking or get removed. This was just wild
Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote has pledged to build a replica of his Lagos oil refinery in East Africa, but only if regional presidents back the plan. He spoke at the Africa We Build Summit today in Nairobi.
The announcement came during a high-level summit attended by Kenya’s President Ruto and Uganda’s Museveni. Dangote’s proposal could boost East Africa’s refining capacity significantly.
You really listed abolition, and other rights that weren’t granted due to enslaved people being characterized as less than human as a form of reparations? DEI didn’t benefit black folks either. Majority of the beneficiaries of DEI and welfare are not of African decent. Are you this dense? Germany has paid reparations to the Jewish community as a result of the atrocities they suffered under Nazi rule. No other community can partake in the reparations they’ve been given.
@grok what’s the definition of reparations?
“Need more” when was reparation ever given to black people? Many plantation owners definitely received a form of reparations though. You know they got compensated for having to give up the property. This is true for the Brit’s and the USA. Haiti even had to pay their former enslavers after beating them and freeing themselves from slavery and to be recognized as a state. So what reparations are you speaking about?
@CitizenJohnM@AmericanMama Remember when all the slave owners got reparations for loss of property due to slavery coming to an end? Oh do you know France, UK also compensated slave holders. Britain I think made its last payment in 2015. So which reparation believers are you speaking of?
@KenyanSays And the ones saying it isn’t bad run a daily deficit of 1.7trillion. At some point we need to look to ourselves and our past for answers in creating a prosperous future.
“We didn’t mean to bother anybody” imagine thinking you are somehow bothering by simply existing. 1974 that’s someone’s grandparent today. We re looking at people who became mothers, fathers, teachers, policemen and women, bankers, insurance adjusters, doctors, lawyers, politicians etc. imagine who and what they portrayed in public view.
@kevinblue345 It’s often said they went to civilize the world. The argument that Africans sold Africans makes one question that very notion. Even if we went with that argument why would the civilized reduce themselves to the level of the “uncivilized”? I do wonder from time to time.
Na if it was a black man they would have cursed him out properly. Black people worldwide do this. We code switch, and this is also an element of that code switching. So this has nothing to do with what you are stating but rather a position of power being perceived to only be held by one people and honestly the fact that we truly believe Jesus is white. I’ve seen black women curse black men out for way less.
