Compensation isnt new ... compensation for the enslaved is... Reposted from @odunifehistory Follow @odunifehistory to support this page. Do you see a pattern here? In 1825, Haiti paid the sum of $21 Billion USD to France in order to maintain its independence and as compensation for the loss of enslaved Africans This was done because the French ruler Charles X had demanded that Haiti pay an "independence debt" of 150m Gold Francs. At the time, the amount was unimaginable for such a young nation and was at least 10 times its annual revenue. In the end, Haiti held to ransom, paid 90million Gold Francs, (about 21 Billion USD) in today's money thus enriching France and impoverishing itself. in 1833, after slavery was abolished in Britain, the British government pledged £20 million taken as a loan to compensate enslavers of enslaved Africans for their “loss” This money went exclusively to the enslavers with nary a thought for the enslaved who received absolutely nothing as compensation for generations and generations of toil, trauma and trouble. This loan took British taxpayers 182 years to pay off and was only completed in 2015! In fact if you are a taxpayer in the UK reading this, there is a great likelihood that your tax funds might have been used to service this "loan” In 1862, America paid compensation to enslavers of up to $300 for the loss of each enslaved Africans. The enslaved Africans received nothing by way of compensation or reparation. In 2020, after years of strict sanctions by the West, Zimbabwe is obliged to pay $3.5 billion as compensation to descendants of white farmers who colonized them and violently stole their lands. To add salt to this wound, Zimbabwe does not currently have the funds and will have to borrow, thereby keeping the country perpetually indebted and economically crippled What a way to hold a nation ransom Do you see a pattern here? What patterns do you see?

To fear your ancestors is to fear yourself. It is an expression of self-hatred, giving you and everyone around you permission to treat you, your culture and descendants as disposable. Tell me, could YOU be love? And could you be loved? Self-love is a really complicated story for us folks who identify as Black African. It lies beneath layers of racist indoctrination. Personally, I do not waste much or any energy getting mad about the indoctrination. I prefer to tap into the wealth of ancestral legacy and firmly root my self-concept in that archive of stories. You? . . . Posted @withregram • @odunifehistory Follow @odunifehistory I’ve always wondered about this. Surely I’m not the only one?👀 …And, the ones who have taught us to fear our ancestors have their own ancestors (even the evil ones) commemorated, honored, remembered by way of huge statues and monuments in their cities, town-halls, streets, and high places. What a conundrum 🤔😢 . . . . . . . . . #africanhistory #imhotepfacts #panafrican #odunife #Africa #african #jamesbaldwin #africatotheworld #chakabars #blackhistorians #blackpeoplemagic #blackhistory365 #proudtobeblack #africanunity #unapologeticallyafrican #carribeanpeople #abenafrica #afrocentric #africanculture #melaninmagic #africanempowerment #africanartefacts #west2westmovement #chinuaachebe #narrativesmatter #blackouttuesday #performativeactivism #africanhistory #afrocentric #indigenous #libation https://www.instagram.com/p/CaNf41kBPPe/?utm_medium=tumblr

See my last post for the extent of this erasure, beyond the contributions made by the Nile Valley civilisations … . .
