Hear me. Stop celebrating the
idea that back in Africa we were kings & queens. The idea of royalty requires a nation of peasants & slaves. That very idea is responsible for those same African kings & queens selling our black asses into slavery.

To celebrate royalty is to celebrate your own oppression & enslavement. This is why I marveled at the spectacle of black people celebrating Megan Markle marrying into the original architects of white supremacy as though it was some great affirmative action hire.

This is why I also marvel at the spectacle of black Americans falling 4 the slave tourism industry hustle by African nations like Ghana who 4 a small fee will tell U that U descend from some great royal tribe. Royalty in black face is no better than royalty in white face.

Wealthy Africans did the same thing to us that wealthy Europeans did. They both were co-conspirators in constructing the hell we now occupy. This why I have never bought into the idea that black Americans should ever be in the business of romanticizing Africa.

Herein lies the ruse of PanAfricanism. This is no small charge, but in my estimation PanAfricanism is the quid pro quo or the wink & the nod between wealthy Africans & wealthy Europeans to exculpate Africans for their role in the TransAtlantic slave trade.

I no more want to return to Africa than I want to return to the horribly abusive biological family I grew up in. Not all relatives are family & in my viewpoint the 400+ years hell African nations sold us into is unforgivable.
