The gangs of little kids begging for food in the streets, including outside my hotel's gate, was depressing.

I made the mistake the first afternoon I was there, a Sunday, to go for a walk to find some bottled drinking water to buy. There was a little crippled boy with a makeshift crutch made out of a tree limb sitting just outside the hotel gate begging and I gave him a dollar bill.

Before I could walk 3 steps away from him I was surrounded by a couple dozen kids, some as young as 3 or 4 years old, clamoring for me to give them money. "Please share, Mister!"

I finally gave up and just went back to my hotel. The hotel guards at the gate had to physically restrain the begging kids from entering the hotel grounds. As I walked back through the gate one of the guards looked at me and said, "It's best not to give any of them money."

It was heartbreaking.

Lol, these are the people who enslaved and sold the ancestors of black Americans in the first place. White Europeans were not running around enslaving Africans, these big slave markets already existed for almost a thousand years before the Atlantic save trade started, to feed the arab slave trade. Every tribe in West Africa enslaved and sold other Africans, in addition to keeping slaves of their own. Are they going to greet the blacks arriving from America with a reparations check?

so they want to move to a place where their ancestors sold them into slavery. are they going to demand their statues get torn down too?

just move to Libya. they're still selling blacks into slavery right now.

I bet the Ghanans are smiling.

That reminds me of a reply Muhammad Ali gave to a reporter when the Champ was in Zaire, aka, the Congo, for his "Rumble in the Jungle" heavyweight boxing championship fight against George Foreman. (Ali won by a knockout in the 8th round. Foreman went on to sell cooking grills.)

During the press build up before the fight Ali was touring parts of Zaire. At one Q&A session one of the reporters asked Ali what were his thoughts about visiting for the first time the area where his ancestors came from.

Ali answered, "My thoughts are I am very happy that somebody put my great-great-great-great grand pappy on that boat."

Can we start a go fund me to help in this effort of those wanting to go, but can't afford it?

Can Kenya be next? Maybe Barry will answer the call.

Man, Kenya has some problems but what a magnificent land. It's the goddamed Somali kid napping terrorist on the border that's the main issue. I would Safari there in a minute but then we would be packing some heat in the bush.

Look African Americans have an open invitation to drop the American part of the act and go home. I'm sure they will take advantage of it.

194-0 on sending em to Ghana?

Would GoFundMe allow us to pay for such?
