Ghana and UN´s bullies (so called the "global south") bandy need go back to School !

there are too many myths about Atlantic slavery, BBC has been promoted them for ages , why our mainstream media promote American Black activists highly mythological worldview on the history ?

The BBC is failing impartiality with its history documentaries

It is incumbent on the BBC to represent a variety of viewpoints. That means understanding ‘diversity’ properly, so as to embrace diversity of opinion.

Our researcher identified several programmes where serious problems arose. Turning briefly to radio, a programme fronted by Kit de Waal and Zeinab Badawi devoted to Sarah Forbes Bonetta mentioned slave revolts in Jamaica in the 1860s. Slavery had been abolished across...

In Ghana there were families who main income was from the sell of their fellow Africans in the slave trade to other nations.
Will compensation be demanded from them?

A good question. What we see today is that the modernist, so‑called Global South is taking full advantage of the postmodern West — and at least 50% of people in the West don’t mind, or even like, being taken advantage of.

The Fante and Ewe groups in Ghana participated significantly in the slave trade. You only need to look at the forts and castles along the coast, from Keta to Elmina. The coastal states cooperated with Europeans and even signed agreements with them, such as the Bond of 1844.

The idea of reparations from Ghana (or virtually any other African country) is a joke, from a historical point of view. All African states were major participants in the slave trade and stopped only after European colonial expansion were they forced to end the criminal practice.

ps The Moscow Bolshevik empire used forced labor (the slaves) until 1991. Shouldn’t the Moscow empire pay slave reparations first?

This resolution is a one-sided view of slavery in Africa. It is just a political statement that does not carry weight. Most of the UK public are opposed, but ethnic minority adults, and black adults in particular, are in favour of the resolution. Are the descendants of convicts in Australia entitled to reparations from the UK, too?

​

Countries like the UK have long rejected calls to pay reparations, saying today's institutions cannot be held responsible for past wrongs.​

Unlike UN Security Council resolutions, those from the General Assembly are not legally binding, though they carry the weight of global opinion.

"Let it be recorded that when history beckoned, we did what was right for the memory of the millions who suffered the indignity of the slave trade and those who continue to suffer racial discrimination," Ghana's President John Mahama told the assembly ahead of the vote.
