Akon: Africans No Longer Think About Slavery, Black Americans Still Blame the Past

[heart]

This dude said we should “go back home” as if his countries and other places in Africa are offering dual citizenship..

To much to get into but his statements are ignorant and he(Akon) is saying all of this wearing a Versace shirt, the irony...

 

[Chelsea Bridge]

I listened to what he said for full context and I can see his point..

America doesn’t care about black people and what happened in this country. From slavery to after slavery.. We can name many other groups that have received reparations for unjust acts committed against them even groups where America wasn’t involved in their oppression, but the black people directly affected by the acts of this country are still fighting... Why?

There's slave-like conditions TODAY in Mauritania, Lybia, Lebanon involving Africans, so just by that he's already wrong and showing how he's uninformed. Slavery didn't start nor end with the transatlantic slave trade.

Where In Africa are you getting the land from? People over there are still fighting to take back their own ancestral areas that were stolen from them And given away. Y’all be saying the stupidest shyt with no understanding of African history in its totality. You think you going to walk up to a nation that’s been 3-4 bouts of civil wars and think everything Is going to be gravy?

Depending on the country, there are feudal chiefs, and private citizens that you can get land from.

Yet they have no problem wanting ADOS to invest in some of these same countries. That's our offer take it or leave it.

it was never by force, investing is not a 1way street. You invest with the thought of gaining. You posters are way too over emotional so you will throw the baby with the bath water cause Akon said something you didn’t like?

All hail King Kilmonger

This makes as much sense as

"Cacs no longer think about slavery, but blacks still blame the past"

Fukking retarded ass take, and this is coming from someone more African than Akon is

What do you mean by more African?

They have a right to fight. Whether America cares or not, those (like yourself) whose ancestors literally built this country have a right to fight for justice and reparations.

I see your point but i think comparing Africans and Black Americans on this topic is extremely disingenuous on Akon's part.

Saying Senegal has overcame slavery and moved past it and black Americans need to do the same.... what exactly did Senegal overcome? What exactly did Senegal move past? Does it compare to one iota to what has happened to black Americans????

This dont even concern me and it makes me upset that he woiud say some shyt like that

 

[truth2you]

Every since he said American rappers don't own expensive cars, they rent them, but African rappers really own their cars, in front of a crowd of west africans, I seen his bullshyt.

Imagine what he says ablut us when the cameras aren't rolling

He got rich off us, emulating rappers who own the expensive cars, then leaves and says we're fake, while Africans are real. Then I hear he lied about his criminal past, he's a clown

Nah we good.

 

[Damnshow]

Yeah but Africans will have to think what to do with China cause these parasites are buying up Africa.

Just log off, you sound stupid. Clearly you are extremely ignorant. What do you think is the purpose of the Year of return.

Nah we good.

I am not forcing you
I am just saying you don’t know the meaning of investing.
