White supremacy had a collaborator class then. And it has one now. There were collaborators in practically every crime waged against humanity. The African resistance class always outnumbered the collaborator class, but the collaborator class is always empowered. Then and now.
Africans fully participated in the slave trade at Elmina, Ghana. Trade records from the Dutch West India Company, Royal African Company, and Danish ledgers from Elmina, Cape Coast show African rulers and merchants negotiating prices, quantities, and terms with European factors. African brokers and rulers controlled who could trade and where. African-authored testimony, for example, Ottobah Cugoano, a Fante man enslaved around 1770, wrote that he was kidnapped by fellow Africans and sold into slavery. In fact the Asante expansion in modern-day Ghana involved conquering neighbours like Denkyira, Akyem, and Gonja. The prisoners taken in those wars- by Africans- supplied both the coastal trade and domestic labour. The fort archaeology from excavations at Elmina, Cape Coast, and inland Asante sites back all of this up. On your logic, the government of Ghana should be apologising for their involvement in slavery.

Chattel slavery created β€œBlackness” & anti-Black racism to justify the enslavement of Africans. Anti-Black racism TODAY is a continuum of Anti-Black/African propaganda began during chattel slavery.
Replying to @nelsabbey
The term "slavery" is unhelpfully monolithic. What was waged upon Africans was unique in both history, brutality & profitability. E.g: African societies did not practice permanent, race-based, hereditary chattel slavery Γ  la the British Empire and others. nitter.cf/KemiBadenoch/status/21…

The language around the β€œTransatlantic Slave Trade” purposefully uses neutral terms that could apply to anything. Even a term like plantation sanitises the horrors of chattel slavery. Forced labour and and torture camps is more accurate.

We cannot reach our destination if we do not start the journey. Barbados will meet this opening for dialogue with purpose. We will carry our history to the table, speak plainly and respectfully about our differences with the United Kingdom on reparations and pursue agreements that can improve lives. Guided by CARICOM’s Ten Point Plan, we seek an apology, investment in health and education, and fairer debt terms for vulnerable states. Our children must inherit more than the consequences of the past. They must inherit the progress we have the courage to make.

British royalty visited The Bahamas, a former colony and former site of African slavery, and this is how Black Bahamians were put on display in public, a few steps away from the actual place where their ancestors were placed on pedestals in similar fashion to be sold to Brits?

CARICOM has collapsed into cowardice. Thanks to The Bahamas, Belize, Grenada, St. Kitts, and St. Vincent & The Grenadines for holding the line.
NOW: World majority demands an end to the U.S. blockade on Cuba for the 34th time, in annual UN vote. Vote board:

Black people have not freed their minds from colonialism. This man refused to apologize for his family's role in slavery and they perform dances of resistance for him.

Junkanoo, a practice of resistance of African enslaved people and their descendants after them, used to entertain the beneficiary of slavery and colonization is beyond insulting.

Seems a bit gross that you can be shortlisted for work that pushed a man to take his own life, but i guess this is the state of British journalism today.
Very happy to have been shortlisted in the Specialist Journalism category in this year's British Journalism Awards for my investigation into Cambridge University professor Jason Arday and the extensive plagiarism in his PhD thesis #BJA2026

A sacked Cambridge researcher who sparked a media frenzy over Prof Jason Arday before he was found dead 2 months ago has now been given the opportunity to hold a talk at Oxford Uni on DEI by a Reform-linked society. A protest has been planned to stop it. thecommunityreporter.co.uk/p…

Four Exonerations, One Damning White Supremacist System When racism is woven into your foundations, injustice isn’t an aberration, it’s business as usual. They put Professor Jason Arday through a media lynching, yet his name has now been cleared four times. The silence proves just how sinister msm really is. Meanwhile, systemic racism thrives through racist institutions such as Oxford University who continue to platform Nathan Cofnas. Black excellence is put on trial; racist pseudoscience is amplified because the rot is deep and institutional. No surprises from a nation built on theft and plunder.

Rochelle’s tears don’t move me because she gave Pauline, Johanne and Twinks hell. The only reason Yasmine escaped being targeted is because of the cheers she got #bbuk

No media coverage on Professor Jason Arday cleared AGAIN of plagiarism while the weasel faced white supremacist who instigated the witch hunt against him is being feted at Oxford University for a talk on DEI backed by racist party Reform UK. Reform Uk isn’t ’satisfied’ with another clearance of Arday so launching independent review of his appointment at Cambridge University but not Oxford University’s appointment of Dr Lola Salem who is on trial for possessing indecent images of children. She just happens to be Michael Gove’s ex girlfriend. Zero media outrage. White power should be studied.
