    Man tbh I won’t even say I’m “American” by choice. They were FORCED to be here. My ancestors went through something that just BREAKS my HEART ohhh sooo much💔💔 and we lost our culture entirely!! it is an honor to get to go back HOME and our ancestors would be proud of us. And my people (the women) have such a BEAUTIFUL body and shape and my people are good looking in the face too! When the melanin pops it’s everything!!!

      yes it was terrible but we must forgive them and let go of any hatred in our hearts. God uses people to punish his people for being disobedient and stiff necked.

    Good evening beautiful African people. Home of the brave and the Land of freedom. I come to you with love, respect and peace (Shalom) and may the ancestral spirits keep the continent brave and strong. It's the year of return and we welcome our brothers and sisters with open arms " AKWAABA" welcome. We are who we are and no one can take our very being from us as black people. The ancestors are guiding us back home and this is a spiritual time in the lives of the black race. Let us in humility turn our heads back home (SANKOFA) to build for us as there is no place that we can call home than to be AMONG your very own. They can call us names but we know who we are. We are black people and we are proud of our heritage.

    • @CurtisAhenkan
      @CurtisAhenkan Před 4 lety +7

      Dear, around this time each year, there's a festival held in Ghana for Africans in the diaspora; it is called PANAFEST. Blacks from ALL over the world visit to partake, maybe you should try it someday.
      THE YEAR OF RETURN is only an initiative by the government of Ghana to commemorate exactly 400 years since the first slave ship landed on our shores. It's our wish that our brothers and sisters in the diaspora could make a symbolic return to the Motherland this year and hopefully bond with the natives and if possible consider moving to settle permanently.
      That's the thinking behind the Year of Return
