Obianuju Ekeocha posted the video to Twitter that quickly amassed hundreds of thousands of views. In it she criticized the congressional Democrats who took a knee wearing Kente cloth. For those of you that don’t know what Kente cloth is, it’s the traditional clothing of the Ashanti tribe. The Ashanti were very rich. They raided villages and sold the men to Europe and America as slaves.
Just like the Ashanti, Democrats have been selling out Blacks for centuries. From slavery to the KKK to the Jim Crow Laws to the poll taxes and other impediments the Democrats have always thrown at the Black community. Democrats may have promised Blacks such things as enterprise zones, support for Black colleges and an end to mass incarceration from a bill pushed through the Senate by Joe Biden. But, it was President Trump who delivered on those promises.
I had to say something about the American politicians shameless and ignorantly using the Kente fabric as a prop in their virtue signaling.

“I was just looking online today like most of you and what did I see, a bunch of Democrat politicians, kneeling down, of which I have nothing to say about that because I am not an American. However, they were all having around their necks this colorful fabric, which I’m sure they put around their necks as some kind of mark or show, of unity or solidarity with black people.”
“Excuse me! Dear Democrats, in your tokenism, you didn’t wait to find out that this thing that you hanging around your neck is not just some African uniform. It’s actually the Kente material, the Kente belongs to the Ghanaian people, mainly, the Ashanti tribe!”
