Pro abortion vs anti abortion
Defund the police vs more funding for police
Tax cuts for the wealthy vs taxing the wealthy for the sake of the economy
Dude, you're asking for too much with that one. And I didn't even mention all the corrupt political officials who take bribes for agendas under the table.
Breh got hit hard by the harsh reality his cousins were trafficked across seas, and despite all the struggles and loss, still retained his culture passed on.

The forum, a conversation on cultural exposition, reaffirmed the commitment to forging stronger bonds between Africa and the Caribbean..
The event was organised in by chair of the Caricom Reparations Commission and UWI vice chancellor Prof Sir Hilary Beckles and attended by former Jamaica prime minister PJ Patterson and Caricom secretary-general Dr Carla Barnett.
Speaking about UWI’s role in nurturing collaboration and solidarity between Africa and the Caribbean, Beckles describe the designation as a "tremendous honour." He also emphasised UWI's unwavering commitment to advancing shared principles through education and advocacy.
Patterson, in highlighting the historical ties and significance of the African Union's recognition, said, "The ethnic origins and commonality of our colonial experience are beyond dispute. It is in recognition of this irrefutable reality that the African Union declared the existence of six regions."
Barnett, in her address, applauded the active involvement of youths in shaping future engagements, underscoring the vitality of fresh ideas and perspectives.
As the forum concluded, vice-chancellor of Global Affairs Sandrea Maynard reiterated her office's dedication to fostering regional identity and global awareness, as it aligns with UWI's aspiration to be recognised as an “excellent global university rooted in the Caribbean.”

That’s beautiful, I hope the collaboration will be productive.
Hopefully the lessons of mistakes in the past are kept in mind moving forward.
The African Diaspora needs to keep focus on unifying to build properly

On The Coli?
Yes Sir
Here on the Coli we love white wrestlers, white quarterbacks and PAWGs but despise black people who aren’t our exact ethnicity.

That really hits home.
Whole families were literally broken up during the Arab Slavetrade
and trans-Atlantic Slavetrade. Yet somehow, African culture was still retained, re-contextualized and passed. Generation on generation for centuries.
Watching and reading about how the Ancestors in The Americas kept the purest forms of African culture in the African Diasporian Spiritual systems, Creole languages and music warms my heart.

The black man is always targeted.
It's crazy how we still have the descendants of African slave traders walking around today with zero repercussions or reparations paid.
I wonder how many politicians in Caricom can directly trace their lineage back as the slave traders, not the enslaved.
