I am joshua. and I have been here before. i have trying to enlighten us about some historic facts. I feel that we should all be aware that, the old songs we learned at school, chanting ‘We were sold like …, and later colonialized’ were a diviation from the truth. The fact is that we partook of the evi actl.

I want you to understand that, people back here admire you a lot, believe me. We see your achievements as ours. Surely, the hand of Lord is with you! Your Ancestral land shouldn’t be a strange land, but your own as well-we stole loads of acres from you-That’s how it should be.

Anyway, we have opened a page in face book mobilizing us (all of Africa) to get ready for an good act. It is called ‘Africa Apologize for the Crime of Our Ancestors Group’. Soon we will be hundreds of millions.

God bless you all,

What a coincide! that I found this information at this time. I am a Tanzanian, and live in the uk, and all I know is, folks out there love you, admire you and see you as brothers. Yet, no one had thought of need to apologize. There is one reason behind that-awareness (we learned at school that ‘we’ were enslaved by whites and Arabs and latter colonized), I wrote my story after the realization-’we were partakers, and acomplice’. Please visit my blog, when you have time-www.therootsrespond.com.

We love you.
