This video, created by Black Conservative Perspective, criticizes recent actions by African leaders regarding the Juneteenth holiday. The creator argues that the recent commemoration in Ghana, which involved a reenactment of the slave trade, is an inappropriate way to observe the holiday, which he defines as a celebration of freedom.
Key points covered in the video:
Critique of Juneteenth Observance (0:00 - 2:05): The creator expresses disapproval of observing Juneteenth through displays of sorrow or slavery reenactments, asserting that the day should focus on happiness and gratitude for emancipation.
The "Hijacking" of Juneteenth (2:06 - 4:10): The creator discusses how African leaders, specifically in Ghana, are using Juneteenth as a platform to demand reparations from Western nations for the transatlantic slave trade.
Reenactment Performance (4:11 - 6:59): The video critiques a performance at the Oso Castle in Ghana where students depicted the anguish of slavery. The creator questions the effectiveness and intent of this performance in the context of global advocacy for reparations.
Arguments Against Reparations (7:00 - 12:15): The host argues that demanding reparations is hypocritical, suggesting that the supply chain of the slave trade originated with African leaders who enslaved and sold their own people. He further contends that Western aid is often lost to corruption and that African nations should focus on self-sufficiency rather than seeking financial compensation for historical grievances.

Where is their concern that slavery is still going on in other countries now?

No one in my family ever owned slaves. Nobody alive today was a slave in the US. I shall never owe such a stupid thing.
The old thing they do in Africa is Kill each other and Beg
Also, worst purchase in American history.
Most African slaves went to where the money was; the Caribbean and South America. Sugar cane was the big money maker and there were few places in British America where it could be grown. By the time cotton was a big, the U.S. had banned the international slave trade, and more importantly the U.K. actively suppressed it.
To Make America Great Again let’s start with the easiest tasks first, get rid of some national holidays, “Juneteenth” would be the first. Labor Day would be another, in days gone by when unions got their way, now the Chicoms supply everything.
Fed employees get paid to take the day off ELEVEN times a year, the rest of us get nothing in the filthy redistribution of wealth scheme...the list is long and it doesn’t have a damn thing to do with pigment.
I saw a video about Russia using North Korean slave labor in their far east.
But then again who knows how many children who were let in under Biden wound up in some sort of slavery; they’ve already found several hundred thousand thus far under the Trump administration.
What if we’d have kept things like they were?
They should be glad things aren’t like they were.
Africa has an average IQ of 60. I would say that it is impossible to carry on a conversation with African idiots. Remember, there were countries with men raping women believing the raping would cure the men of aids. BS - just an excuse to rape women and have a blast.
I wonder if the union would’ve demanded an end to slavery if they would’ve known that 180 years later blacks would be begging for money.
Let me get this straight.....
You want ‘REPARATIONS’.
You say “we was kings and shi^” Yes, yes you were and you rounded up your own people and any you could take as prisoners and set them up on the beaches in cages with for sale signs.......
You want ‘REPARATIONS’.
While there is still a slave trade running in africa to this day, some say it’s even bigger then was in the past.
Well then go talk to the descendants of the arabs and other black africans who started and profited from the africa slave trade.
PS. Will you be asking for ‘REPARATIONS’ for the millions of European and others take by the barbary pirates on behalf of the sultinate and sold in to slavery?
Reparations have already been paid in dead in the War between the states and with the welfare system set up by LBJ.
And spread STD’s. And steal. And beat their women. But other than that they’re good folks.
WE owe them nothing. They should pay us for caring for “their” people.
Because Brazil and Jamaica and the other countries don't have any money.
Cargo Cultism at it’s finest.
What color were those that sold the slaves to the white slave traders? This is nothing new and was part of their normal culture before the white man arrived and the white man just became a new customer.
