Please Sign and Share The Black Agenda Ghana Reparative Citizenship Petition #shorts

I understand the concern, Sister, especially for those who are just now seriously considering repatriation. From the outside, the current red tape can easily look like a sign that Ghana no longer wants us.

I do not read it that way. I see it as a shift in policy by some people currently in decision-making positions, away from the reparative direction that had already been established. In 2016, and again in 2019, Ghana set a precedent that recognized the historical connection and opened a real pathway. What we are seeing now is a departure from that precedent into a more restrictive and extractive approach.

That is exactly why the petition, discussions, and organizing matter. The point is to push for a return to what had already been demonstrated as possible. This is not about begging anyone to accept us. It is about insisting that policy reflect the larger historical, moral, and ancestral reality.

I fully understand that some people may choose to explore other countries on the continent, and each person has to make the decision that is best for them. My position is simply that Ghana is bigger than the current mindset of any particular officials. The land, the people, and the historical connection are bigger than this moment.

Fighting for rights in krakkkaville is ill-advised. Standing for rightful return to the land of Black people is something entirely different.

Thank you so much, Dear Brother!

Some people in government are smart, some aren't. Some of those who happen to be in a decision-making position happen to not be. I already got my citizenship in 2016. For the last decade, reparative citizenship has been the rule. Extractive citizenship is new. We're calling for a return to what it has been. This is all that we should be fighting for: the land of Black people. Fighting for krakkkaville is what's ill-advised.
