"The blatant racial bigotry of the left must be called out. It is no longer an esoteric academic debate; it is a crisis that threatens to tear the country apart."

"In 1870, only 10 percent of Africa was under formal European control"
The European colonization of Africa only lasted a short time period so we cant be blamed for most of Africas tribal problems.

Just reading about the Zong Case AKA Gregson v Gilbert.
Horrific, but tells you a lot about the motivations of slave traders & their attitude to their cargo.
In August 1781, Zong, a ship designed for approx 193 slaves sailed with 442 slaves aboard from Accra, Ghana to Jamaica.

On 18th November, the ship stopped in Tobago, but did not top up its water supplies.
On 28th November the crew sighted Jamaica 50km away, but thought it was Hispaniola (modern Haiti / Dominican Republic), so kept going.

They only realised they'd made a navigation mistake 300 miles later.
To get back to Jamaica they had to sail into the wind, so it would take 10-13 days, but they only had 4 days water left.

Ghana is set to grant citizenship to 200 African Americans as part of celebrations of the 'Year of Return 2019’.
The occasion would mark the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first African slaves in America

The government of Ghana launched the “Year of Return, Ghana 2019” as part of efforts to encourage African Americans and the black diaspora to return to the homeland where their ancestors were kidnapped and sold into slavery many centuries ago.

In 2000, Ghana passed the “Right of Abode” law making it the first African country to officially open its doors to people of African descent from all over the world.
The law allows any person of African descent to apply and be granted the right to stay in Ghana indefinitely.

Ok, ok. Deep breath. @sam_kean wrote a piece for @sciencemagazine about how European science was largely made possible by the #slavetrade. Sure. But the LANGUAGE IN THIS PIECE is irresponsible and it hurts!!! A thread...sciencemag.org/news/2019/04/h…
"At the dawn of the 1700s, European science seemed poised to conquer all of nature." Opening sentence. What?! All of nature? 1700s? What about all of the science that had been done for the thousands of years before that by non-Europeans? What does "conquer all of nature" mean?
"Fantastic new plants and animals were pouring in from Asia and the Americas." WHAT? No mention of HOW this was happening? BECAUSE OF RAMPANT BLOODY WHITE-SUPREMACY-BASED VIOLENCE. oh, but we're supposed to call it "exploration"
There's been so much hype about #Zanzibar, but at the same time, a few people weren't particularly thrilled. Had to go find out for myself ,so some friends and I planned a trip. What I think? Top rating for beaches, good food, so much to see, history. Read this thread... #Travel
From #DaresSalaam, you have the options of flying or going by ferry to #Zanzibar. On the other hand, you could fly directly there. We spent a few days in Dar, then we went by ferry...it cost $35 per person for economy and $50 per person for VIP. We travelled in the VIP section.
