So when @RepKarenBass asks am I serious about the questions I want added to immigration about applicant's family's past or current wealth coming from the slave trade or flesh trade - Yes I am serious. #ADOSPolitics https://twitter.com/MaxHPF/status/1334545993048723461
Oshodi Tapa, Dada Antonio, Ojo Akanbi and others who were former slaves and later became big time slave merchants themselves built generational wealth from the slave trade that survives till present.
Today, the legacies of these slaveowners are not only revered and whitewashed, but their children are still benefiting from the wealth their ancestors passed down from slavery.
