I had to say something about the American politicians shameless and ignorantly using the Kente fabric as a prop in their virtue signaling.
*I’m usually more mild mannered than this so please forgive me, I’m upset.

Thank you sis. Thank you for standing up to the defence of the great culture of our neighbours, Ghana. But our jollof is still superior though

Don’t even go there! Our Nigerian jollof is the best. Since when did you people even start cooking jollof? Smh!

You voice is important. I live in Hawaii and much of the culture here is similar, but diluted through decades of appropriation. Thank you for informing your followers of the specifics of this seemingly harmless but incredibly disingenuous pandering.

Additionally, African-Americans sometimes wear kente stoles at graduations and other important ceremonies.
There absolutely was no reason for THEM to just put them on for a photo op.

I think your comment is totally unfair to these leaders. Wearing a Kente is not disrespectful or whatever you want to call it.The Kente cloth is known to be a representation of "Unity in Strength"
That is why our ancestors created it.
I'm Ghanaian and an Ashanti.

NOW THAT is interesting! Most Democrats wouldn't know Uganda from Zimbabwe anyway so yes, it's all kiss-butt showcase nonsense anyway that won't work and is making Africa laugh at American Libs.

If George Floyd were Mexican I suppose they'd be wearing sombreros.

If he were Mexican, the media won't run the articles because the media won't get their beloved riots out of it. Riots = more money
