The fake news media sure glazed over these idiots wearing Ashanti tribal Kente cloth. The Ashanti Tribe were notorious SLAVE TRADERS. These idiots were too busy trying to virtue signal & too stupid to have any idea that the scarves are OFFENSIVE to African Americans!

In the 1600’s Slaves captured by the Ashantis and sold to the British and the Dutch along the coasts were sent to the West Indies, particularly Jamaica, Barbados, Netherlands Antilles, British Virgin Islands. the Bahamas etc. The Ashanti were at the heart of the triangle trade.

In the 1700s and the expansion of the 13 colonies the Ashanti were known to be very opposed to both the Fante and the British people, & the Ashanti extensively traded with the Americans in times of their ascension to becoming a hegemony of most of the area of present-day Ghana.

The slave trade expansion to the US colonies booted the wealth and promenance of the Ashanti tribe that dominated the slave trade right up to the abolishment of slave trading in the US in 1865.

Famed author Alex Haley wrote about His family history in Roots and his great grandfather Kunta Kinte was sold into the slave trade after being abducted from his African village by the Ashanti tribe, and was taken to the United States as portrayed in the TV series Roots.

What’s not talked about is @SpeakerPelosi didn’t bother to research it and sent out for some Kente cloth and had these garbs thrown together so they can virtue signal and pander to their base not knowing what those patterns stood for.

So why does their ignorance get a pass?

Vandals are out in force in DC as we speak trying destroy monuments claiming they glorify slavery and are offensive yet these idiots in their rush to virtue signal and pander get a pass?
