Becca, last night took to twitter to call Ghanaians hypocrites for fighting for and advocating against racism in the US.
According to her, people are in Africa are fighting racism in the US but “are criticizing and judging someone for marrying a fellow African because they are not from their country”.
You are here in Africa fighting and advocating racism in the US but in your church/home, you are criticizing and judging someone for marrying a fellow African because they are not from your hometown/country/church… Damn Hypocrites!!!

Ghanaians did not take this down well at all, as many of them have taken to the same microblogging site to drag her.

First to respond to Becca was ‘Sinking Sands’ actress, Ama K Abebrese who educated Becca on the need to highlight other issues without curtailing the fight against racism.
She wrote:
“Sis they are both wrong, however it’s incomparable to equate the fight for the systemic racism in the USA to African tribalism in marriage and hypocrisy.
You can highlight that without appearing to diminish the fight about police brutality. Murder is not marriage. Love always.”

As some people tagged Ama’s tweet as a ‘beef’ against Becca, the actress was quick to deny the claims and says it came from a place of love.
If anyone thinks this is a beef with @beccafrica, they are sadly wrong. This is a discourse and I get where sis is coming from and it is valid; though I may not agree with the comparison.
Let’s be united in love and stand up to injustice wherever we see it, home and abroad.🖤— Ama K Abebrese (@Ama_K_Abebrese) June 3, 2020
