[MJG01]

when Obama is talking on the TV our house nobody talks lmoa and we are not even Americans

[CameroonStar]

@MJG01 I have found that it is the same way in many people's house. When I was in S. Korea, I saw Koreans wearing pins saying "Obama, President of the World". They were very happy! 

[Luso515PorTuoGraal]

God blesse them, as my part, If I have or my ancetors part in that, I bag and I ask for Pardon to the Victims and their descendents - to give my their Pardon!

Amen!

[trickzie2009]

i went there and it is crazy,makes you want to be sick. What they did to the women was CRAZY and just unbelievable!!

we the save trade was over they train young black men to fight in the 1st world war...

..But that is not what they taught me in school.... If i had not gone all the way there i would have never have know the truth...but if you think about it.....no1 is going to write history and make them selfs look bad......so thanks to the english educational system. the truth is not all truth

[CameroonStar]

@trickzie2009 There is a Proverb that says...Until the Lion has his or her own historian (storyteller), the hunter will always be the Hero. That is shy I always try to find all 3 parts to a story... both sides as they saw it and then the TRUTH.

[sheltv100]

@trickzie2009 I need to make a trip there. My Ancestors suffered in agony and despair in Cape Cost.

[hooglander13]

Didn't the African chiefs have a large part in rounding up their own people & selling them to those rascally Europeans?

[OftheSoil]

Some of them did out of greed, some of them had their family's held for ransom in return for slaves, and then there were also some that fought against slave raiders, however "African chiefs" did not manufacture chains, whips and torture devices. They also did not work them to death like they were to be in the Americas, a lot of society's in Africa released their slaves after a period of time, just like was done to the Irish which were seen as a lesser race among Europeans and were enslaved.

[CameroonStar]

@OftheSoil MANY fought back and some killed anyone that did not look like them when arrived on their lands. So enslavement NEVER took place in their location until after the death of that particular leader. Google Nzinga. She lost an eye fighting the enemy.

[1800generalnow]

some tribes took slaves from those they conquered. then they had the opportunity to sell them, so they did.

[CameroonStar]

@1800generalnow EXACTLY. Some people want to deny that it happened. YES it did and even now, they are trying to apologize for the actions of their ancestors.

[Boogers4dinner]

Nope. I always thought that as well. I have a couple of books on slave history written by a white man and one written by a black man, and what they said in the book that the Europeans came in and dominated and took captives, there were no kings selling other africans as slaves. They said that so that they don't bear full responsibility for their wrong doings.

[CameroonStar]

@Boogers4dinner That is NOT true. I have personally spoken to leaders in Ghana that have ADMITTED to doing it. There were various reasons but they did it.  You must understand that NO one could just walk up onto the land and start conquering. They could not even get past the bush without the help of Afrikans. The malaria and yellow fever alone would have wiped them out. They did a LOT of coercing and bartering....later they began to fight but they could not dominate anything on their own.

[CameroonStar]

@stempyjj Some of the chiefs did and others were taken by lies and deception. Very similar to they way those people went to Haiti and told the family that they will take their children and educate them and give them a better life. But when they left with them, they put them in chains and did THIS to them .

[lovejangie1]

Good video. Very moving!

[CameroonStar]

Thank you. Now, CNN is doing something to show the world the slave dungeons...It took President Obama to go there for the world to know about it. I am happy that he did go. Other "leaders" avoided it. Now the world has to address it and see the truth for themselves. Then ask us, how could they expect us to Forget.

[CameroonStar]

I see that he is holding back a LOT of emotions. This is an eye opener for us all.

[MajorrBison]

what kind of emotions.....he is not a slave desendant. hello.....

[CameroonStar]

Hello to you as well. His children and his wife are. And just because it did not happen to him, it does not mean that the man does not have emotions after seeing something like that.

[nightime1000]

he might not be from a slave desendant but his wife and children are. He is also a human being.

[CameroonStar]

@nightime1000 Thank you very much. I don't see how another human being cannot see that. I have talked to people that have been in the dungeons and the fear and hurt that I saw in their eyes. They even told me that the stinch is STILL there. If I go in great detail of what they told me, you would be so shocked.

[randyonwuakor]

but his wife is a desendent of slave every black person wether your desendant of slave or not should always remember this slavery was the most bad thing that ever happen.

[CameroonStar]

EXACTLY! I don't think MajorrBison thought about the big picture before they typed that.

[CameroonStar]

@MajorrBison Just because a person is NOT a descendant of an enslaved person, it does not mean that they cannot show emotions or be moved by such a negative event. Nor does it mean that they cannot make statements that would move a nation to take a long look at what they did to us and then expect us to forget. He is the 1st in his position, to bring this to the WORLD because everybody is watching and listening to President Obama whether they like him or not.

[ibiedun]

I am speechless!!!

[CameroonStar]

I was as well when I saw it. It is more powerful than any other video I have seen him on so far in reference to Afrika.

[wuwuwuwu02]

support Africa

[CameroonStar]

Always in Support of My Motherland! (smile)
