Give Thanks RastaGoddess, the link between Jamaican Maroons and the Asante Nation of Ghana has been researched and validated by Anthropologists, Archaeologists and Linguists the world over including some from Ghana. While the Asante were some of the ones who sold other groups like the ewe, fante and others into slavery, they were also sold into slavery themselves. This information is plentiful and available for all who would care to put in the time as I have to research it. Give Thanks

It's just so hard to wrap my mind around what are people had to deal with just to be free from those sick unatural murderous beasts .....smh and to think most whites of today honor those wicked evil demons called their forefathers !.... Just disgusting the amount of blood on their hands the blood of my people...judgment has already begun my ancestors have waited 2 long for justice....a half assed apology just don't cut it even whitey thinks that should be enough

THEY WERE REALLY STRONG BACK IN THE DAYS AND LET ME TELL YOU GUYS

WHITE MAN WAS IN GHANA BECAUSE OF THE ASHANTI AND THE GOLD THE GOLD WAS IN ASHANTI STATE BECAUSE OF THEM THAT IS WHY GHANA WAS CALLED GOLD COAST BACK THEN AND THE SLAVES TOO WERE THERE MAJORITIES OF CARIBEANS ARE FROM GOLD COAST MAROON LANGUAGE

IS THE SAME US ASHANTI

@rastagoddess9 If a person was sold by Ashanti they were labeled as Ashanti, it is more likely that they were from other tribes.

[EgbesuJuju2010]

Ashanti are Akan!!!!

[EmpressInferno]

No worries my SiStar RastaGoddess, the world has been miseducated to further the colonial project even until this day, what it really speaks to is the laziness on the part of some who would rather regurgitate what they have been 'told' and 'sold' than to investigate the information for themselves and go to the People others have written about and ask them. Give Thanks fi di sharing, keep up the Good Works, Tell The Children The Truth!!!.... Bless
