So this photo of Pelosi and the Democrats in the Capital building has been on my mind. You know....the one of them wearing Kenti cloth around their shoulders.
So I dug into this.
The cloth in this epic moment comes from Ghana, and from the Ashanti tribe. It's distinctive.
Well....here's the odd thing....Ashanti folks were deep into the slave trade....all way into the mid-1800s.
They grasped the economic power of wars....capturing opposing tribal folks, and selling them.
So in some aspects....without much research on Pelosi's part....they put on the Kenti and in some weird way attached themselves to slavery.
