What he said is so articulate and true. I am a Ghanaian who had the opportunity of studying in USA and I can promise any African American who is reading this that if you visit Ghana, you would contemplate about moving back......
1. We as Ghanaians take pride in hospitality...its one of the African value we were brought up with.
2. Friendly people, Because we believe in the extended family system...it comes naturally
3. This year our the President of Ghana launched the year of return for African Americans (400 years after slavery)... Its been a massive hit as alot of African Americans are visiting to experience Africa
4. Tourist sites such as the Cape Coast castle and the El mina Castle gives one an indepth view into how terrible slavery really was.
5. Ghana is a developing, middle class country... Very enabling for start up businesses.... We need your expertise lol
6. The weather, food and music is also unique...
7. The Western Media always portray the dark side and events of other countries and make it seem as if its the whole of africa... That's a lie they intentionally perpetrate to make you believe there is nowhere to go and connect.....
When I lived in Washington DC I knew a few people from Ghana and it was so fun and interesting to talk with them. They were kind and protective as I was only 14 years old and they always made sure I got to the bus or subway safely after visiting their deli. I walked in as a customer one day but within a minute was part of their family 💜

I respect Abby for saying "I will never understand". It showed depth and respect. 👍🏻👍🏻
Agree, deep down think Abby is a very decent person. It just shows that her parents brought her up to be a good, thinking person. Enjoy her input to the show.
@Am Me Sometimes people are raised or live in a bubble. It takes effort or new influences for people to see points of view that aren't their own?
Cybersylv- I agree. Abby shows genuine interest in African history. I am sure that she will educate her children too.
@Am Me yep but y'all master it facts.
@Am Me When a white person says "they'll never understand" whenever referencing slavery in America, it’s likely what they mean is they’ll never understand the full impact, depth, significance, and legacy of what it means to have a DIRECT attachment and association to the legacy of slavery by way of heritage and ancestral lineage. ENSLAVED AFRICANS were VICTIMS of an American institution and social construct that FORCIBLY extracted FREE LABOR from a specific ethnic group under brutal, inhumane, insufferable, and tortuous conditions for almost 250 years. Behaviors and actions taken by slave owners and associated persons included rape, murder, lynching, breaking up families and sale of said members to far-away plantations, and many other atrocities, etc., etc. Many whites have difficulty internalizing the fact THEIR European ancestors were linked to this brutal institution in any way...in addition to difficulty internalizing the pain, anger, and mixed emotions of Black Americans descended from enslaved Africans. It’s also NOT simply the fact there were whites who didn’t own slaves, the reality is that ALL whites benefited from slavery whether directly or indirectly and have a much more privileged life and generational wealth that was denied enslaved Africans and their descendants.
I applaud Abby for her WILLINGNESS TO LEARN AND WANT TO KNOW MORE....HER HUMILITY AND HEART IN THIS SEGMENT WAS REFRESHING...👏👏👏👍
starting to feel Abby is a.... true... Mormon
What? I roll my eyes when she speaks her hypocritical privileged point of view. She's so fake and cringey.
@@mucefitadonelly9457 I dont think she's fake. I think she is just limited in her view (no pun intended). look how excited she was speaking about Ghana and learning about Ghana. she seems privileged in her naivety. but next week I might feel different but this reaction seemed authentic
Even though you may not like her. You have to admit that at least she stayed up there and was willing to learn and be aware. Most people coming from her background and her culture are not willing or justify their belief system. At least she has an openness to want to know more, this is how humanity can move forward.
anyone else notice that whenever a panel is planned to discuss at length history of racism and similar issues, meghan disappears?
Lol... I can not!
It is because she is a Republican and doesn't agree with the arguments the Democrats make about race problems. It's more she is not there because of the producers not because she has the power to not be there. She would offer a viewpoint they don't want expressed. A form of censorship.
fem wynn please Subscribe to Jim Nduruchi Thank you
Wow megan wasnt there to talk about the politics of slavery. She missed a great opportunity to be an abc politican analyst to show off her chops.
😹😹😹🙏🙏🙏
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmaooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nicely done.... SoooOoooo nicely freakin' done! 😫😭😂
V W that idiot is a pork chop.
V W like always! She’s a racist
Yup, KNEW Me-again was NOT going to be part of this conversation!!!
I said the same thing. I knew she wouldn't be there for that segment
yea I just asked the same thing. very telling isnt? ohh my father blah blah Confederate flag was a stain blah blah.. but she's missing
She was basically not in the show today. It was glorious
Joy isn't sitting there either so... It is common when they have 2 guests at a time to only have 3 hosts at the table... Stop making something out of nothing, smh
Maybe it's because her family once owned Slaves. The McCain family has Black members in their famiky who are Descendants of Slaves.
God Bless our homeland Ghana 🇬🇭
Ama Mavis and make our nation Great and Strong
I'm glad that they highlighted the 1619 project. Nikole Hannah-Jones and Borris Kodjoe are phenomenal. Why didn't they have the entire panel of The View available to discuss?
Nikole Hannah-Jones Looks A Lot Like Kim Coles,Very Beautiful Woman,And A Woke,Concious QUEEN!!! 👸🏽❤🖤💚
ME Again McCain Would've Tried To Make Some Connection To Herself,SMDH!!!🤨😠😡🤬
Legacy?! Slavery is ubiquitous in the US today. They just got so effing good and high tech at concealing it to the point of near undetectable state.
Nikole Hannah-Jones is brilliant been following her work recently and I must say I like what she is producing thus far.
Why have important guests like these 2 on your show, talking about something critical and inspiring as this project, just to cut them off and say come back🤷🏻♀️ spend less time talking about Trump then and more about issues like this
exactly! he was putting the word straight about generational wealth and how entitled people don't recognize how they still benefit and he could barely finish his sentence. that was ridiculous.
Agree. I could kind of tell they were frustrated too. There's so much to discuss. Should've moved the "Little Women" advertisement to another day and spend more time with an actual interesting subject that is rarely talked about.
Factuals.
@@Ray03595 We Already Know The Priorities Of The #WhiteSupremacistMedia 🧐🤨😠😡🤬
@@gregoryjones9546 They could talk all day about the Holocaust but the Slave trade makes them uncomfortable because it's a huge stain on the history of the United States and they wished it was buried and never talked about!
I didn't learn about 1619 when I was in school......This should be in school history books.
The date of 1619 and its importance is referenced in numerous history books...it's just barely referenced in schools, and most teachers hate to focus on the details of slavery and its horrors. The extent to which American public schools present instruction on the brutality and horrors of slavery is glossed over in most public, private, charter schools, and even most universities...which is why most Americans are lacking serious knowledge on the subject. The people who are knowledgeable and informed are the types who generally conduct individual study and investigative research well AFTER they graduate high school and/or college. The simple fact is that most Americans don’t WANT to know, they’re content in their blind ignorance of slavery and its inhumanity and suffering committed against ENSLAVED AFRICANS.
They should have given this subject alot more time.
Excellent as usual 👍. Now I have to get copies of the book 1619 and Time issue of 1619
This is a good bit. Easy to follow, easy to understand. Nobody yelling or interrupting. You know, a real interview about a very important issue.
Nine minutes? This should have been an entire show, ABC! Nonetheless, glad it was a segment. Well said by both Boris and Nikole.
That's Everything! When the sista Nickole Jones said we didn't have a Democracy here in the USA until Black Americans made it that way. I love it! Speak the truth sista...tell it!💕🇺🇸😄
Boris don't age👌
Omg I love abbey in this segment she is so respectful and genuinely interested, almost excitable
I wish they had more time! I'll be looking out for more interviews with them!
Love Nicole. She’s intelligent and doing important work.
Was left wanting to learn more
It's called go to the library. Get familiar with W.E.B Dubois
The black media on CZcams has been laying it out for a few years now the mainstream media will never admit or allow the blacks with the data and facts to talk about it to black America dumb down.
Go read the article, also many CZcams videos!
Very poised Boris
It was getting so interesting until that lady cut it short. America is always running away from this truth. But mind you, lots of people are getting enlightened about it. So whether you discuss about it or not, we and our children will learn about it.
It's clear the producers don't trust meagain around black guests.
Every. Single. Time.
The topic of Slavery probably makes Meghan uncomfortable since her family has a history of owning Slaves.
Or she doesn't trust herself.....
If she wanted to be there, trust, she would be.
So glad for this interview now people like KANYE really need a wake up call from these people.
Musical artists, celebrities, athletes, etc....these people generally have no academic or intellectual credibility. Most of them lack detailed knowledge of history, and especially African and Black American history. Unless they're on a panel with a certified professional or have proven they've studied and have detailed historical knowledge, they need to stay in their "artistic lanes."
I'm so glad she did that 1619 project. It's such high quality work and I thank her! Additionally, while I appreciate the leadership of Ghana apologizing for their role in the selling of our ancestors into captivity...I'm good on visiting right now.
I love Boris
I keep hearing him recite that rap he did in Brown Sugar whenever I look at him lol
I want to colour with Boris
he didnt explain the Ghana trip. Conan's show explains it very well. Go to his youtube and google ghana
Thank you.
Ordered my 1619 last week!! It is awesome!
Great! Where'd you order it from, please? I tried when it initially came out, with no luck.
@@robinvolpi Me too , you just have to go back to the New York website. They have reprinted more but this maybe their last reprint. I know we can view it digitally but I just wanted an hard print for my family, friends and myself. Good luck!
@@renewilson2540 Right. I checked just after leaving my initial comment, and it was "sold out." Signed up to be alerted for restock, after the holidays when they claim they'll have more. ;) Thanks for responding.... 🙌🏽
Thank you for showing Africa in a different way
Too short this needed more time.
Check her out, she's all over CZcams
Why do they leave the most important part to the very last segment? So much to learn.
Some similarities in how the Indigenous people of this continent were and continue to be treated.
Anyone who isn't indigenous to the Americas benefits from their mistreatment and genocide.
I really hope the producers read the comments. I am watching this from Ghana and would encourage others to visit.
Two brilliant guests!
Wow! Beautiful
Wow, where's Meghan?😒
I need more of this conversation!
Look how long it took us to even acknowledge 1619. I wonder how much longer it will take for the native americans mass genocide to be acknowledged and our own crimes highlighted and have it taught to our children in detail.
Great job Boris K.
Boris this journey is transmuting the energy that is held there through those who go and meet the energy neutraly or with an open heart accepting and channeling the sadness, torture, victimization, freedom-LESS expressions and more held within. This is the work of our era for ALL OF OUR LEGACIES. We can transmute energy by relating to it and being in resonance with it from a place of understanding. Bless you. ~ AHO'
My endearing space cadet Abby hit a magnificent homerun in this segment👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 very respectful and showed a lot of deference to this subject. Well done Abby🤗
Boris ♡
Abby America did not begin 1619. The Landing of europeans...maybe, but indegenous people were there before. America has been built at the cost of the suffering of other people , till now.
Bella Wangari very true it’s in built for a lot of people to say what Abby said it’s so bad but she tried her hardest I can’t knock her
I think she's talking about it being America as a country because before it wasn't known or existed as that. Which in itself is also very sad that a place that existed before with people who were never asked what they wanted it to be either and they paid/pay hugely for this America to exist.
Bella that does not change the fact that blacks were enslaved for 400 years so what's your point? I'm from Louisiana and even indigenous native Americans owned slaves aswell. What do you have to say about that?
@@silkrock7295 Try to understand my point , i meant America did exist before 1619. Red indians were the Native Americans, then it was discovered by Europeans who took the land with force and by killing them, then came slavery.....Meaning that for America to be where it is now there was alot of injustice, human rights violation and suffering inflicted by the Europeans. Till now America economy is successful at the cost of human suffering around the world.
@@bellawangari8557 Do you realize that you minimize the significance of black chattel slavery making your point? I notice that the discussion of slavery triggers a "what about native americans" statement among white people. No need for you to become defensive. Sorry that the topic of race and slavery makes you uncomfortable.
True on the ship that brought the settlers of Jamestown was the first set of slaves in the bottom of the ship. The history channel tv series America the Story of Us.
“Kodjoe”, not “Cujo”.
Amazing message and talk 🙏👏👏👏
Yes yes yes
How come megain is always missing when it matters the most????
Meghan is likely missing "when it matters the most," because her opinions and perspective are the least valuable when discussing MAJOR and potentially sensitive topics. It’s very likely producers can't trust her NOT to screw up important topics that DON’T include discussing President Donald Trump.
I love this segment! This is what the world needs to learn about. We as black Americans hadn’t ever had a chance to connect with our culture nor had the resources to unless we were wealthy and look at the economy now! Marginalized groups are always are at the worse economically.
You have a wonderful culture right here in America. Our people is the culture of this country. Why else everybody is always trying to copy it. Even the Africans that come here. "Akon"
Koris Bojoe is cool.
where's Meghan?
Boris is German and Ghanaian so his babbling and opinion is not needed on reparations. He wouldn’t even be included. That congressional hearing was a joke.
Boris 😍😍😍😍
Most of us don't get it, for 400yrs we have been locked out of the great wealth of the country that our ancestors built. This ain't about Africa!
It's DEEPER than that!!! Geesh! 🙄
Ghana, Rwanda, Siera leone....
Ghana is the real deal!
Why is MEGAN never on stage when they talk about black progression??????????????????????????????
Events of the past directly inform the future. It’s truly unfortunate that most Americans demonstrate high-level unawareness on a topic that is an important part of American history that most leaders and general U.S. society make a DELIBERATE effort to avoid based on slavery’s many associated evils. Slavery’s associated EVILS include brutality, inhumanity, insufferable and impossible conditions, a tortuous institution that goes on for centuries and includes raping, lynching, murder, torture, selling of family members to far-away plantations, and denying basic rights and dignity to other human beings for almost 250 years. There is a DIRECT and straight line from slavery to Jim Crow segregation, KKK vigilante violence, domestic terrorism committed against ENSLAVED AFRICANS and their descendants (i.e. - Black Americans), and the denial of basic civil rights and generational wealth-building opportunities to Black Americans for centuries. Slavery and the negative treatment of Black Americans AFTER slavery are the MAIN REASONS for the 3000-mile wide wealth gap between Blacks and whites in America. There is CONTINUED racism, discrimination, inequality, and mistreatment against Black Americans to this day, and ALL of that negativity has its roots and origins in slavery.
Okay Abby thumbs up to you👍👍 that you want to learn.
I see they didn't invite Meagan to the table 🤔🙄
There are slave castles from Senegal to Angola so yall got a lot to go see
The actual descendent and beneficiary of slaveowners didn't show to provide her expertise. Hmm what a missed opportunity.
Would have been nice to allow Ms. Hannah-Jones to speak like they did Mr. Kodjoe.
Wow this so awesome!!
“Founded on an idea and a lie.” ❤️
400 million African heritage outside of Africa . Is that accurate
IT WAS AMAZINGG!! IM GOIN BACK AND WILL APPLY FOR MY CITIZENSHIP! BROTHERS AND SISTERS... GO FOR THE EXPERIENCE!! TAKE A CHANCE! I LOVE YOU BLACK PEOPLE! #YEAROFRETURN2019
Abby is gorgeous 😎🙏🏿

@@MH-ro3ww Abby looks make sunny cloudy 😍👸🏼🖤🙏🏿
Kevin Adams sunny makes Abby look shabby
whether unnecessary or not the panel should of questioned them on Kanye's opinion on salvery
Cool. Now, let's work on reparations.
Do Something Tangible,That's The Vibe I Get From Tom Steyer,And Not Just Discuss Or Talk About It!!! #ReparationsNow #Tangibles2020
Exactly!! Enough with the talk. I wanna see some action.
Was Sunny just biting her bottom lip? Lol.
The 1619 project, despite some historical inaccuracies, can be a great opportunity to bridge many of the divides plaguing the US today but every time someone takes advantage of the momentum to introduce the ridiculous idea of reparations the whole thing goes out the window. What would a reparations initiative even look like? It's one thing to say that the government should invest more in schools in poorer neighborhoods and especially black neighborhoods, but reparations? How would that work? Cultural divides aren't healed with money. The atrocities of slavery can't be repaired with money. The can't be repaired at all. All we can do is learn and move on towards an equal society.
It's weird that Nikole passed on the question about reparations and gave it to Boris who is not African American or #ados.
And the question wasn't really answered. Sunny asked if she thought reparations would happen.
Mmmmm Hmmmm🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
modern day blackface
I saw that as well. Very strange indeed!
Roght! she's supposed to be the expert!
boris is fine.
Rolling my eyes every time Abby speaks. She just comes on like an untruthful bimbo. She could have shown respect by not talking.
Shut up!
Dem chickens bout to come home to roost in a big way. Believe that. ✌
Abby turned up the bronzer today didn't she?
Considering what has been said here, why not go to Ireland, Scotland, or somewhere in the UK? #ADOS are the Descendants of Slaves and slave holders. This Ghana trip is finesse at its best. Most #ADOS can’t afford to travel out of their state. If there was some real building of connection, it would be free or at least treated like an “Aliyah”/ birth-right trip. Why over charge us to see where we were sold?
💯
McCain’s daughter makes me turn away from the show anyways
Ghana is getting all the positive publicity from this "year of return" initiative. The country's culture and beauty is being broadcasted on almost every popular media outlet and celebrities not only in America but accros the globe. As we are welcoming our brothers and sisters in in the diaspora and encouraging to return, own the resources, create wealth and opportunities, I wish every Ghanaian will be conscious of the prospect of this enterprise and change their attitude in providing public services and uphold moral principles to get rid of the deep rooted corruption in them so development of the country can take flight. We have no excuse with all the natural resources we are endowed with to be where we are
Disclaimer: I don't like Meghan at all. That being said, it's not fair to complain about her sitting out a segment that had she been there for, she would have been slaughtered for saying anything at all. Just saying.
It would depend on what she say. People give Abby grief too, but a lot of people like what she said today and it seemed sincere. So if Meghan had been sincere and not a brat then I don't think people would give her grief. Yet she was not there. But I have noticed she is NEVER on the panel anytime a subject like this is discussed. Does make one wonder about that.
@@4daluvofnikki Meghan would have screwed the discussion - she doesn't trust herself...or maybe the producers can't trust her NOT to make ignorant statements. M. McCain is the type who will somehow twist the brutal narrative of ENSLAVED AFRICANS by mentioning her father or some other family member and how they were SO "courageous" in trying to end the scourge of slavery in America. In her mind, even slavery has to be about white people. The LAST THING a hardcore Republican Conservative wants to talk about is slavery. As far as most Conservatives are concerned..."slavery was a long time ago" - "ALL the slaves are now long gone" - "slavery wasn't REALLY that bad" - and the all-time favorite line..."Black people need to get over it already"...a statement NO ONE EVER SAYS to Jewish Americans when referencing the Nazi Holocaust.
@@4daluvofnikki Wonder what? Her family owned enslaved people, she not stupid. Meghan would not have added anything valuable to the conversation anyway. I remember the look on her face a few months ago when they were talking about reparations...

That sailed present not
A flight to Ghana and back to Philadelphia isn't remotely affordable for working class Black people. This is a tourist scheme to get people to spend more than they have or to have Ghana visited by thousands of Black celebs. Win win for Ghana however the honest conversation of the slave trades(European and Arab) still needs to take place. There needs to be accountability and acceptance. I would love the opportunity to go to the continent of Africa but I feel it's disingenuous to romanticize Ghana like it's an African utopia. We don't need perfection just the truth and pathway to true peace within ourselves and around us as descendants of enslaved Africans.
They need to be called out for inslavement, colonialism, trafficking and brutal treatment, murders and robbery that came with it. They are the ones that got away with the crime. Time for justice.
Slavery is a horrible thing! I feel for each and every soul who was affected by this. :´(
In June1627, 400 of my country-men, women and children in Iceland were abducted and sailed to Algiers, Africa, where they were sold as slaves. Yup, that´s right, white people sold as slaves in Africa.
Nobody wants to hear about it, but please, look it up, it is called: The Turkish Abductions ("Turkish" because of the Osman empire at the time, which also included North Africa).
But as I said, people don´t care.
Didn't Whoopie answer n went on n on...yet the question was NOT put to her. I would've like to hear what the guess had to say.
G🇬🇭H🇬🇭A🇬🇭N🇬🇭A🇬🇭!!! Year of Return ...
This is so stupid it's offensive, these people are justifying slavery. This is truly crazy.
idiot, they remembering what happened and it's legacy today, not justifying it. Are you that dumb?
Boris Kodjoe is eligible for German, Austrian, Ghanaian and Israeli citizenship.
He immigrated to America and is calling Americans who were born on the soil Africans....as if that is a legitimate citizenship.
Why is he even on this panel or qualified to talk about reperations for a lineage he is not a part of and a heritage that is not his own ?
Megan McCain has more right to discuss this then he does.
Get out of here with this crap
Do you also know he is married to an African american..He is more than qualify to talk abt these issues mate..
Boris is an odd choice to talk about this subject. I felt he spent more time selling tourism to his father homeland, Ghana. Boris was born in Europe to a German mother. Nikole's mother is also European(Czech) and her father a black American. She deferred to Boris on the subject of reparations. HUH? Boris was talking like our people only came from one country in Africa. We cannot view his father homeland and people as the same of us. Too many years have past. 400 years is a long time and beside people's culture change with time. The culture practiced in Ghana today may not have been the same as it was 300 to 400 years ago. Different tribes had different cultures within the same country and region. There is no going back or re-do. Slavery tourism is cruel, because it preys on our emotions. You sold our ancestors for profit and now you want to profit off us again. Sorry-NOT-Sorry!
Agreed - the conversation on reparations should have been discussed by Mrs. Hannah-Jones. Boris Kodjoe is fine for general information, but specialty topics need to be discussed by the person(s) intimately tied to the 1619 Project. Kodjoe offered a nice summary and basic explanation, but he tap-danced and bit and didn't even answer the host's question regarding whether or not and/or when Black Americans should and might receive reparations. He could have been absent and Hannah-Jones could have been the lone guest. Kudjoe's talking points on Ghana should have been its own segment at a later date. I don't know why people are giving Sunny Hostin a hard time when she presents the question on reparations. Other groups screamed VERY LOUDLY, protested, and received reparations for their historical suffering…but apparently it's a problem when Black people do the same. The U.S. government has been ducking this issue since 1865, because the reality is the U.S. government and general U.S. society feels no obligation to pay its debt to Black descendants of enslaved Africans.
