    DR KING, MANDELA, STOKELY CARMICHAEL AND MALCOLM X AND THEIR FRIEND KWAME NKRUMAH, WERE ALL COMMUNISTS WHO HATE CAPITALISM AND FREEDOM. THESE COMMIES WANTED TO DO AWAY WITH DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM.

    A very interesting perspective you have on politics, Danquah-ba; that must be why the capitalists who love freedom incarcerated Nelson Mandela and other freedom fighters, torturing them for over twenty-seven years! Wow!

    This is not the author's best efforts here. There is a meager correlation between topic and content. Evidence presented in support of thesis consists of weak, even if plausible, arguments based on hypothesis.

    The references are much appreciated.

    Please note that my critique was in reference to the essay title vis a vis its content. In other words, what the title promises to deliver requires focus, to a greater degree, on those ...

    Good job, Prof. Kwarteng. Apart from your copious grammatical errors, your cut and paste article cuts minimum muster for the academically mediocre.

    Next time, write about how Danquah died as a great Teacher of Nkrumah. Tha ...

    ALL COMMIES HATE FREEDOM AND CAPITALISM. THEY ARE ALL AGAINST INDIVIDUAL CHOICE AND FREE ENTERPRISE. NKRUMAH WAS A COMMIE LIKE STEVE BIKO, LUMUMBA, PAUL ROBESON, SEKOU TOURE, MALCOLM X ETC.

    DANQUAH STOOD FOR DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM. HE WAS NOT A COMMIE LIKE NKRUMAH WHO MADE GHANA A COMMUNIST HEAVEN. HE INVITED ALL THE COMMUNISTS TO GHANA. DANQUAH LIVES FOREVER IN THE MINDS OF ALL THOSE WHO LOVE CAPITALISM AND DEMO ...

    When people speak to themselves. I have come to the conclusion that the majority of people in the world speak to themselves and hear only what they speak, they do not listen to what others say, and they also do not see what o ...
