*Note: This isn’t a blog about abortion. Rather, it’s a blog about Black men’s perceived attitudes towards abortion. I’m sure by the end of it, there will be plenty of offence to go around.

US EmbassyGate…Ghana Edition!

7 comments

Ho-ho-ho-ho! Santa? Is that you? Did Christmas come early? Since this is Ghana politics, let me rephrase: GAGAGAGAGGAGAAAA! HEIII!!!! AH-JEISH! I think that’s more in line with Papa Bronia’s merry chuckle. In time, we will figure out to combine the two for the benefit of all. After all, isn’t that why the US is in […]
