"You can't be blaçk and still be a Christian unless you stupîd. Western religion is just a tool of c0ntrol." TI

"Black people hãte everything about slãvery except Christianity. How can any well educated black man who knows his history be a Christian? Slãve Masters used Christianity to prevent us from retaliatîng so we'll leave vengeance for God.
Our ancestors only accepted Christianity to survive not because they believed. Those who didn't believe were beãten and even kîlled in public.
If God's word in the bible was true, the whitemãn would've never let us know about God. As a black man, do you genuinely think our slãve masters wanted us to go to heaven?
Christianity was just a tool and it worked." ~ TI

American rapper, TI reacts about how blacks have been braînwashed so much they've forgotten their ancestors only accepted Christianity to survîve..

Western Christianity is bad but are Eastern Islam and Hinduism better for the black man? What do you say about Ghana made Fetish Priests and Pastors using human skulls to deceive the masses? Look right before you look left.

There's one God who created the universe. We Akans call Him Tweredeampong. That's the same appellation we ascribe to the Christian God. In other words, our ancestors were worshipping the same Christian God before we saw the Whiteman. With the advent of Christianity, God sought to universalize and standardize humanity's worship of him. You cant have different cultures claiming to worship the same God via different worship mechanisms. Read the Old Testament and you would see that some of what our ancestors and fetish priests did (and still do) are in there.

So stop this nonsense about Blacks and Christianity. God doesn't claim one race of people. He chose the Hewish people to bring His son into the world, simply because it was the plan for Him to manifest as human. He could have chosen a Black family to bring His son, Jesus, into the world. Wouldn't the Chinese and Europeans be saying the same nonsense you wrote, if God had done that?

@Vom.... this is the sort of sensible and insightful comment that brightens my day. What Christisnity has done for us, at least in Ghana is incredible. Schools, Hospital etc. What were our worse than useless Kings doing? They slaughtering up to 3000 innocent people annually just to please their utterly useless River gods such as Antoa, Asuoyeboa Tano etc.

At Batama execution centre , they were actually beheading people , dripping their blood into the "Ayawa Kese" which Osei Tutu and his sidelick k
looted from the King of Sefwi, mixing the blood with herbs and drinking it for fetiish reasons. Thank God, Baden Powell blew it is in 1896.

When King Osei Bonsu"s mother died in the 1800s, he slaughtered over 3000 people, mostly Fante prisoners to accompany her into the next world. His own "
"Okyeame Sarfo" told T E Bowdwich in 1817 and he documented that. Yet, today, we have goons will will come out here to defend such crap. Thanks ever so much for your lovely comment! Pls ignore typos.

Deliberately vague Heading with incorrect dating.
The year was 1999 not 2009. Her 2019 post on X, saying "20 years ago ..." should've been your hint.
Also, exchange students who spend time abroad do so, primarily for the sociocultural experience as emphasized in her X post. However, Ghanaweb chose to be vague with the caption: "NASA astronaut ... who attended Uni of Ghana". As though it was at Uni of Ghana that she received her physics degree and laid the foundations for her career.
In reality many exchange programs in the late 90s under the "semester in Ghana" model were only 4-5 months long, with other models lasting 10 months (2 semesters).
Again, the primary objective of these programs is to promote deep cultural and linguistic immersion for foreigners, not academics, hence the term "exchange student" i.e cultural exchange.

The black guy amongst the astronaut never wwnt to a University. He went to a Polytechnic, California Polytechnic. So our clueless politiciabs converting all our Polytechnics into stupid under resourced Universities should take note that having 1000 Universities does not build a coubtry. Sometimes just 3 well resourced Polytechnics with 300 Graduates can achieve what 1000 Universities with 7000 halfbaked Graduates cannot achieve!
