Racism in Ghana From Ghanians to Anyone They Think isn’t Black — Part II in Their Own Words
I’m Black and two years of Hell in Ghana because my light skin many Black Americans don’t seem to care either

Apparently many Ghanians openly speak about the racism that they hold tight and many practice. I stumbled upon a post on LinkedIn from a Ghanian man. The post outlined blatant racism from Ghanians and beliefs that only Black skinned persons are worthy.
What he outlined was hatred for anyone who wasn’t Black (Dark Skin as I’m surely Black just ‘too’ light skinned) in Ghana. There is a story behind the large Lebanese population that you’ll find living within Ghana.
One day I touch upon why they choose Ghana to settle and apparently many are all over West African nations, another poster from Liberia entered the the LinkedIn posts.
The sad thing about his post is only 2 people commented on his post others liked it, thousands saw it and decided to ignore it. For some reason pointing out racism from Africans isn’t a thing anyone seems to give a damn about.
