They s one I don’t agree with, Hillary beckles should not be subjected to a little black boy status going into the yard of the colonial genociders to prostrate and beg, it is demeaning for our great respected intellectual and great African son.
It should start with us creating the narrative to control the outcome, we invite them to one of our African landmarks for meeting and dinner, to discuss compensation for slavery in conjunction with the African continent request for return of artifacts from their museum that hold looted treasures, and sanctions on acquiring any creature animals from the motherland for entertainment purposes in their zoo’s, if we enforce sanctions like these under a one Africa agreement this will cause a lot of museum and entertainment theme park and zoos to
close in these countries, because all that they have is stolen from out of Africa or the Caribbean.
And Hilary beckles should instead visit the African union to talk about mineral resources restrictions to these countries until reparations. And also we have to look to scientific development as compensation also, we have been colonized to an education system of service industry, we need to get to manufacturing industry, we need geologist and nuclear physicist, and from those same former colonizers they should release documention on the mental and spiritual colonizing project that they carried out to castrate us mentally into subservience, their religious articles and literature historical data should be disclosed, because without emancipation from their white ethno supremacists religion we will remain beyond reparations even if they gave us the cash, because it is inculcated in us to take it back to the white colonial master whether on earth or through the church paying offerings.
All this parody of having our great intellectual parade as apologist and beggars should end now, and invite let’s say the UK royal family to a designated African site of importance for these meetings, we have to start by controlling the narrative, instead when Hilary beckles go to their country they will be feeding him a sumptuous meals as though they did him a favor in acknowledgements of such feat as advancement towards the cause, and that’s just your belly and not the future.
Don’t be used by the politicians to speak of cash currency as reparations, they can pay us and cause a market inflation that take back that monies
