Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Ghana’s Foreign Minister, joins RT to discuss a proposed UN General Assembly resolution seeking recognition of the transatlantic slave trade as a crime against humanity and calling for reparations.

Ablakwa says the initiative, backed by the African Union, aims to address centuries of injustice and bring international acknowledgment, restitution, and healing.

This is that Dave Chappelle skit; isn't it?

I don't follow Ghana news; have they held trails for the descendants of the marauders who invaded the lands of other tribes/nations within their borders?
Any Trials for the groups whose ancestors stole/claimed land of tribes they conquered and slaughtered?
What about the descendants of the conquerors who captured and enslaved the survivors, the descendants of chiefs of those tribes who first offered to sell one of their slaves?
Before reparations from other nations are considered; why not begin with obtaining justice within your own borders?

Trans Atlantic slave trade; why do I get the feeling that we're going to gloss over the demographic that by vast majority owned slave ships, controlled the shipping lanes, managed auctions, sold the most slaves, owned the most slave and as a result provided for the most slaves' needs?
(hint; they may look white but the'll clearly state they aren't when it's convenient).
Lets overlook the genocides that were ended by bribing the victorious tribes to spare the lives of those they conquered by buying them?
Lets also overlook the greatest population of beneficiaries of public assistance, food, shelter, medicine, education, "Equality Opportunity" programs for hiring on a non-meritocratic basis.
Lets look ONLY at the crime rate.
If the US is asked to pay a single penny for reparations for slavery; we get a counter-suit that demands 2x the "reparation" amount for saving every life that would have been ended by those who conquered those villages, then repayment for transportation costs medical, food, clothing, housing costs, (I'm sure there are families that owned slaves that kept meticulous records) and have those repaid adjusted for inflation.
Then we can consider negotiating for all the collateral harm and personal injury including theft, destruction of homes, death, dismemberment, rapes carried out by their descendants
...
or Ghana can thank those "evil" slave traders (who bought the lives that would have been slaughtered) who oppressed those slaves by... getting them out of immediate danger, providing them with food, water, clothing, jobs, medical care, housing and the opportunities for them and their descendants.
