SLAVERY IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

I loathe the term "descendants of slaves". We are descendants of SURVIVORS!

The walls do speak, and so does the DNA in us. We carry all our ancestors within us.

Still remember this day like yesterday. God bless Africa

"The Door of Return"- so powerful!

Ghanaian people that I've met in America were very friendly and just good people. Much love to 🇬🇭 Ghana.

The President's views during his visit to the Coast, are quite candid and sincere as he discusses his personal connection to the African Holocaust. President Obama eloquently speaks about the challenges for an African American and gives his "take" on why some Americans of African descent feel far removed from this "distant land," which some call home. Thanks for posting Bomani Tyehimba.

I never knew Anderson Cooper came to Ghana. I would've loved to see him. I've been his fan for a long long time. Hope you enjoyed my motherland🇬🇭🇬🇭

After my visit to Elmina I wanted to return to Ghana and the people. I felt a strong sadness along with a hurt at the despairing families torn apart. The stalls that held mothers children and fathers were separated , the guide told us how one could hear outcrying of kidnapped men women and children. I stood there on centuries of blood feces and tears, stunned ! I walked away knowing my life would never be the same I wanted to return to live with and learn more about those incredible brave people . ...

know your history or be doomed to repeat it

Wow, Obama's words regarding this experience are phenomenal, so much respect for him in many ways!

Thank you for posting this.

Ghana 🇬🇭 is the Heart ❤️ Of Africa 🌍 ... Rest in Peace to our Ancestors 🖤🕊

I am a British Ghanaian and I’m still not over the fact that when Obama goes to Ghana I’m in the UK and when he is in the UK I was in Ghana. FYI I class myself as Ghanaian first and always have. I just have to add the British so it’s clear where I reside (for now).

I AM SO INTERESTED IN GOING TO GHANA! MY MOM WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE SLAVE DUNGEONS BECAUSE SHE HAS ALWAYS TAUGHT ME AND MY SISTERS THE REAL HISTORY OF BLACK PEOPLE!

I was in that castle 2 weeks after Obama.

WOW I miss having a true leader and role model for the world.

I am Haitian this so so sad and that is why we never forgot our rich culture. Other blacks in the Americas make fun od us but Africans embrace us like brothers and sisters they never stop talking about us Haitians. I forgive white people for what they have done but I will never forget never. My son has a white father and he shall know the history the real one. I do not see him as black but metis because we both made him.

Thank you For your Sacrifice & Service to our World! Obama & Cooper Yahweh bless! Your spiritual journey!

We have taken 2 big groups to Ghana Oct 2007 & 2008. One of the main attractions on our itinerary is the Cape Coast and Elmina Holocaust Dungeons. I can sense the tension going through President Obama. I have always said that we have to be in these African Holocaust Dungeons to experience the experience and connect with what happen to our ancestors. Anyway what do you think about this interview? Have you been there before?

Stop calling it a castle it’s a Fort!

Black beautiful Africa the birthplace of all true humans

Blessings who remember

Great commentary Mr President 😘😘😭 You will be missed so much!

How time flies... It's a hard feeling to accept that slavery has ever happened

Oh man... I miss Obama in the WH so much. we have fallen so far.

My GGGrandmother lived here as a child in 1814, aged just nine. with her mother and step father who was a lieutenant in the African Corps. She wrote a poem about her feelings while living there. She barley new what the place was and she was the only child to live there, surrounded by soldiers and cannons yearning to return home to her beloved England but not until her step father died did she eventually return home.

Even the white said this is the home everyone come from ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿(alkebulan)

respect.

Peace!!

Wish I could go there ....I want to..... someday...someday....😍

Point well made.

Anderson in never knew you visited Ghana before

Love how the Secret Service is keeping their distance but eerily stalking Obama and Anderson like stalkers in the background lol.

So why are the Native Americans allowed reparations blacks are not? When black Americans faughted to become Americans in pretty much every war since they land in the Americas. I am Haitan I will never forget what happened because we look no different than our ancestors really proud of that. How my country we made to fail because we faught the French ass holes fair and they went home and cried to the world. We were made to never allowed to advanced and whites should tell the real truth to why.

That wasn't obamas legacy though, but he's still in the fam. Michelle and the daughters for sure are in that stream.

@Harun251 Very good point!

You are welcome home the land of Africa and and let’s forgive and forget 🏡 🏠

Wow 😮! Thanks for telling me that I could never live there. That’s not good.

😊😊😊😊😊😊👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

POWERFUL SADNESS ME ●Castano BROWN FAMILY 💜DAPHNE COTTON. INCREDIBLE THANKS YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA! BROTHER.

Will africa sent for us or even ask us to come and see them as special guests?

"Fighting on arrival, Fighting for survival"

Obama might think like a whiteman but his blackness cannot be denied due to his father's heritage. Thumbs up if you think Obama is black.

African guards this day "One of us made it in America. It might be one man but this is meaningful." Same guards 2020 "that's more like it..."

@oluwalogbon58 I agree 100%!

He spoke about his wife not himself listen to it again.

😔😔😔😢😢😢

😭😭😭😭😭😭

😢😢😢😢🌷🌷🌷🌷

President Obama in West Africa trip to see his forefathers ancestors!

LET ALL OF US LEARN FROM THE MISTAKE & MAKE THE FUTURE BETTER FOR THE NEXT GENERATION.

Hmm 🤔

You are incorrect. It was discovered that he is a descendant of slaves on his MOTHER's side. And she appeared to be white. That proves the point: There is one race, and that is the human race. Yet many throughout history have treated other differently simply because of the color of skin and hair texture.

What does the interviewer mean by the enslaved africans were shipped to the new world at 3:32 ?

the portuguese were the first Europeans to enslave Africans but they were not any more cruel than other Europeans who did it. the thing is slavery did occur and Europeans did enslave our people and treated them as commodities..but we cannot change the past

@rphillips111 Varying degrees of happiness? The fact that one race enslaves another has no happiness in it, no matter what the outcome in the future is. I wonder what Caucasians would be saying now if their forefathers had been enslaved

Where is Humanity..shameful today is no different..

Damn, those Secret Service Special Agents are everywhere. They don't fuck around. I like how they act like they not following Obama.

he seriously was making excuses for slavers in under 2 minutes... no wonder

Slavery in Africa was a lot of places like west africa,east Africa and there is still exist indirect or direct so, it needs a lot work to do on it especially those who start they have to appology otherwise it'll cost them one day because the world will change as weather changes and no one has for ever leave and victory

I wonder do obama felt anything when he went in that castle

Obama is great 👍 with lots wisdom god bless you sir this touch my heart ❤️☹️😕😟🙁🧐

the door of 'NO RETURN', Fire Burn dem opressors! Fire!

I love how he said he taught his children and got them to imagine themselves as both the oppressors and the oppressed. It’s often overlooked that we have to think about the people that commit evil acts as well as those they hurt in order to avoid something similar happening again.

Again catches himself before he says he was born there.

This may affect his wife and two daughters more ,they share the blood of both slave and master.he doesn’t.

for lack of a better word some comments here are just "dumb" doubt some peoples thinking and learning abilities right now

But America treated their slaves the worst of all.

Since I love the truth--after all, the truth shall set you free--I despise and fear propaganda. Obama made his public relations trip to Ghana a while back. This arrticle and comment line has been around a number of days now. There have been seven post--now eight. Three of them have been my own. I'd say, based on those statistics, the country has paid about as much attention to his visit as it deserved.

Even Jeremiah Wright said that Obama is a politician first before he is anything else.

That is a history we can never erase. Sadly, they may have used the name of Christ, and Christianity to enslave our ancestors but HE, JESUS, is using HIS NAME to set us free. Free from mental and physical enslavement. Free to live again, to forgive and recieved forgiveness. It is our history, all around the world we see, hear and read about man's inhumanity to his fellow man but God in His mercy brings healing to all our wounds.

I wonder what would be the conversation ,If you knew that the so-called negro is in the image of the Son of God? The God of all that is created Visited no other nation on earth but Judah ,he appeared to no other notion but Judah ,he walked with no other nation but Juda ."YAHSHUA" called the nation his son ,he loves us we are his heritage ,we bear the marks of the high calling of God.Just as he walked with the three Hebrew Brothers in the fiery furnish ,"YAHSHUA" also walked with us in the bottom of the ships,through the waters,through the wilderness of America., through the lynchings, through the murders ,through the boomings .We have his word " "I will never leave you nor forsake you ,I will visit you in the latter days and all the nation's shall know that I have loved you".

Portuguese stated slave trade that why their country is today cursed .In Africa , they go anywhere to open small business selling fish and chips .Furthermore, Portugal has the highest illiteracy rate in western Europe .

@fineguh -Hahahaaha enyways entitle to ure opinion however I stand on my views..after sll u are u am me...

So when r blacks getting reparations

Heritage is nothing but culture. There is one race: Human

"Inequality and racism exist not because of evil but because the unaffected majority put their interests above all others, and their inaction allows inequality to flourish. That is why I believe that silence in the presence of injustice is as bad as injustice itself. White people who are quiet about racism might not plant the seed, but their silence is sunlight." - Michael Harriot

Funny how this about Obama. I’ve been there. He was the furthest thing from my thoughts.

It's a trip that this has absolutely nothing to do with his history.

Yea why dont you talk about the stuff going on today. And, hey what about the Irish holocaust at the hands of the British? No one ever speaks about it.

Our ANCESTORS DIED FOR US NOT JESUS!!! that's why we ghanaian pray and add the name nananom (ancestors) we are generations of SURVIVORS

Such a good President

This commentator of this show, it makes me annoying because his forefathers colonial masters did this through manipulation our black forefathers and our grandfathers, even now, they do it systematically

Mind of the slave merchant......they had no conscience , or they simply ignored it .

Hmmm even Obama can't talk it hard for him but he try huh first time I think

His story not the real story..

The Continental Slave Trade and the Nazi holocaust were not alike. How dare he try to compare the two! With any due respect to Obama as the president of America, It was his ancestors from both his fathers and mothers people, sold my ancestors. I will never forget!! I WILL NEVER FORGET!!! MY CREATOR YAH COMMANDS IN IS HOLY WORD FOR ME TO REMEMBER! Judgement shall be done by YAH! I personally have no desire to go to Africa until after YAH"s Kingdom is established on earth. And if I never see it before then,Praise YAH! Revelation 21:1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.5And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7He that over cometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Praise Yah! To Yah be the glory. Halle-lu-Yah!

This white reporter is asking such questions "do you think what happened here still has resonance in America" WFT!?
