..when do the parades begin?
I hope it’s true.
“I may be way to cynical but this reads like a propaganda piece to me. Likely a recruiting effort.”
I’m all for it.
Well, good luck with your chosen career in Ghana, my dear.
Hope you're practicing good self-censorship, Muhammida! Wouldn't want you getting that midnight knock on your door!Internet censorship and surveillance
...Although the constitution and law provide for freedom of speech and press, the government sometimes restricts those rights. The police arbitrarily arrest and detain journalists. Some journalists practice self-censorship. The constitution prohibits arbitrary interference with privacy, family, home, or correspondence, and the government respects these prohibitions - in practice.
Another American who talks like they were brought up in England. Fake news.
I do! I believe that scene may have been featured in one of the “Faces of Death” movies...
when 911 happened, the blacks in Ghana cheered...this is a fact, as my husband was over there at the time...
If America was a country where 8 out of ten people were black, I wouldn’t expect white people to be “in charge”.
The article reminded me of Pravda describing America circa 1971. Good riddance.
From 1999:
“FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — After the rebels had fled into the surrounding hills, Lamine Jusu Jarka was carried to the main hospital here one morning in January. A young man named Mr. Junior, wearing a shirt that declared “C.O. Cut Hands,” had chopped off his arms with an ax.
“I felt as if I am finishing the world,” Jarka recounted from the hospital floor where he lay at the time, surrounded by the legless and armless, as his niece fed him biscuits to stop him from slipping into unconsciousness.
Half a year later, as a fragile peace agreement has stayed the fighting in one of Africa’s cruelest wars, Jarka is still alive. He lives with his family in a makeshift camp for amputees here in the capital, along with hundreds of other men, women and children who are missing a leg, an arm and sometimes, like Jarka, both arms.
The residents of this camp lost their arms and feet to a rebel force that spread terror among Sierra Leoneans not by killing but by leaving people like Jarka as living, limbless symbols of its savage power. The campaign worked.”
I remember reading about this; the rebels would line up the villagers by the chopping block and ask each one in turn: “Long sleeve or short sleeve?”. If you said short sleeve, they cut you above the elbow; long sleeve was closer to the wrist (and probably better for a prosthetic - for both hands, since they cut off both). I would do horrible violence to keep people like this away from my loved ones...
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Another lib work of fiction.
Fine by me
I’d be happy to help them leave. Obviously, they aren’t really Americans. Just make sure they don’t come back. Take their passports.
“Thomas Quiwonkpa, the former Commanding General of the Armed Forces of Liberia whom Doe had demoted and forced to flee the country, attempted to overthrow Doe’s regime from neighboring Sierra Leone. The coup attempt failed and Quiwonkpa was killed and eaten.”
Let’s get up a GoFundMe for those who hate America, provided they never may return.
Reminds me of the hilarious Richard Pryor ‘Back to Africa’ skit.
All for it?
We can’t even control illegal immigration? If/When they come back, you’re going to be there to stop them?
Hint for recruitment motives: look at the UK taking back those who left for Syria.
Just good for thought.
If they’ve found happiness, a future they want, and an identity that resonates with them, more power to them.
Better to pursue your dream life than whine about the one you don’t like.
OK, continue...
"You might not have electricity,
Definitely a small price to pay, in order to escape the hellhole that is America.
but you won't get killed by the police either.
I'm not certain, but I'm just guessing here that the writer has not actually been killed by the police in America.
But clearly no one in Ghana has to be concerned about being killed by police in Ghana.
“It is estimated that between 3,000 and 5,000 African Americans live in Accra, “
It’s a start.
***Oh, never mind...that was 64 years ago.***
To some people that was just yesterday.
