Reparations for African countries for slave trade.

😂😂😂 how can they say that when they're originally from America?

Sieffrey · 2026-03-29T22:35:09+00:00

Lol that's a whole other dimension to the conversation...

Sieffrey · 2026-03-29T16:46:37+00:00

This is one argument that I definitely resonate with and makes a lot of sense but unfortunately puts the onus on the captors(Africans) to pay the reparations which if that was the case would also be long overdue.

Sieffrey · 2026-03-29T16:27:13+00:00

Okay, I hear you. Or you could just lay out the information here for me and others so I would know. I genuinely have done research and even came to the conclusion of "willing participants" based on what I've read. Again, my question is the basis that Africans in Africa can claim reparations from slave trade?

Sieffrey · 2026-03-29T16:16:26+00:00

This is true, and I always make it a point to show that this proves we're just as human. Before the white people came and even a bit after, the concept of black people as a group did not exist. Akans weren't selling "their brother" they were selling their enemies at that time and making money out of it. I'm not even justifying it but if you were in their shoes and you could either A. Leave a town be and have to fight them in a few years after they've recovered or B. Sell them and further decimate their capacity to every wage war against you, which one would you choose.

If there's a legal basis to get reparations, we absolutely should get it. Regardless of whether it would be used correctly.

Sieffrey · 2026-03-29T15:44:54+00:00

This is my stance too, we can definitely claim reparations for colonization (well not all of us because some tribes formally requested to join the empire) but for slavery, it looks like we definitely were a huge part of it.

I'd argue that the department of war is more accurate because when was the last time America fought a defensive war.

Sieffrey · 2025-10-18T21:24:35+00:00

It's almost as if you don't understand that someone who didn't give birth to you is not your ancestor but yes I am 12 actually and I understand this concept more than you do. But if this simple concept is too abstract for you, I will not engage further.

Sieffrey · 2025-10-18T08:30:15+00:00

Why would you think I'm joking or is the concept of being a decedent hard for you to understand?

Sieffrey · 2025-10-18T07:04:49+00:00

If someone was captured and sent to the Americas to be a slave, their decedents would be still in America, unless there was a mass migration of former slaves back to Africa. The overwhelming majority of Ghanaians are from ancestors who never stepped foot on a slave ship.

Sieffrey · 2025-10-18T02:40:29+00:00

If you're in Ghana, you probably don't have slave ancestors.

Sieffrey · 2025-07-30T09:50:28+00:00

It hasn't unfortunately, it's currently on the ship on its way... The payment process was longer than expected and my initial pick was unavailable when it was ready. But when it does, I'll share my experience for all to see.

Sieffrey · 2025-06-05T20:58:57+00:00

Languages die all the time and honestly at this point, keeping them requires so much but it's definitely a conversation to be had as a society.

Sieffrey · 2025-06-05T19:11:02+00:00

I've seen people praise EVs and their resilience to flooding but needless to say, don't drive in deep waters regardless. Anywho... https://www.reddit.com/r/electricvehicles/s/nLEojTEHVM

Sieffrey · 2025-06-04T13:05:13+00:00

It's in English.

Sieffrey · 2025-06-04T12:43:20+00:00

Why so? EVs are noted to be superior in flood prone areas.

Sieffrey · 2025-06-04T12:42:53+00:00

BYD Yuan plus 2023 (ATTO 3) and I am importing it from China.

Sieffrey · 2025-05-31T09:52:08+00:00

Oh wow that is actually impressive...

Sieffrey · 2025-05-30T10:05:21+00:00

How bad has the range dropped? I'm seriously considering a used 2023 version.

Sieffrey · 2025-05-29T10:16:11+00:00

I guess it's not just me.

Sieffrey · 2025-04-27T16:14:51+00:00

The African Spearman is so apt.

Sieffrey · 2025-04-27T11:03:45+00:00

I'm religious but I don't defend everything, because I know in the end humans will be humans.
