He is half a blackman, whose wife is fully black and a descendant of people we sold or were stolen or captured forcefully, packed like sardines in those horrible castles and shipped away. This is home coming. We must celebrate a 400 year plus return of family we once lost. Or are we too busy trying to survive to notice?<br /><br />I hope the Ashanti and Fante chiefs will go and apologize to the first family for their various roles in that holocaust... or is it another matter?AfricaShowBoy's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13693033268172063814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7564356874518161776.post-71668094612410611372009-07-10T16:11:24.664+00:002009-07-10T16:11:24.664+00:00Maybe he's a hero to a lot of people??
