Hollywood’s “The Woman Queen,” is about an all-female warrior unit that protected the West African kingdom of Dahomey
_________

Apparently their main business was hunting slaves. Dahomey was the main slave hunting and selling nation in Africa.

I believe the Germans were also able to broker a truce between the Namibian People's Front and the People's Front of Namibia.

Unfortunately, the Popular Front refused to join as he was not given the position in the bureaucracy he asked for.

I think that's where this blood libel against Whites came from.

When someone asked "Where did that slave come from?", the answer sounded like "Dat Homey".

So-called 18th century European slavers never set foot on the beach. For Europeans to set foot on the Gold Coast was to risk a death sentence from all the then-incurable diseases.

Any movie that portrays them as being ashore is historically false.

See: Ancient African kingdoms, Margaret Shinnie, 1968; pp 126, illustrated.

And what is the difference between colonialism and the ways NGO interfere with African countries today? They come in with the backing of the World Bank and UN they regularly come in and dictate how these countries are run. Nobody seems to be bothered by that.

It was Western White men who forced black Africans to STOP CAPTURING AND SELLING BLACK PEOPLE INTO SLAVERY. It's time for everyone to get real.

Ok, but apart from the medical care, agricultural, roads, railways, water holes, and port facilities, what have the Germans ever done for us?

They stopped slavery?

They stopped human sacrifice?

White people moving to ‘lands of color’ bad. People of color moving to white lands, good.

The Cape in South Africa was populated by a few bushmen. Yet the Dutch immigrants are hated by the Tribes who never lived within the land we call South Africa. Which is now an evil place ruled by racists and tribalists. China will soon own all the land as they sell the farms and rare metals for a relative son. The Bushmen are not allowed.

What matters in history is the fruit, not the seed.
