Ghanaian actress Ama K Abebrese has reacted to Becca’s comment on racism saying although tribalism is as wrong as racism, both cannot be compared.
As social media continues to buzz with hashtags in protest against police killings and racism following George Floyd’s murder by the Minneapolis police last week, Becca called out Africans tagging them “Damn Hypocrites” who judge and criticise others for marrying outside their culture.
According to Ama, Becca is allowed to talk about her concerns without making murder look like nothing, “Murder is not marriage,” she added.
“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,” Becca twitted.

“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, “the actress replied.

She, however, had to defend her tweet after some people assumed there was a beef between the two stars.
“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 explained.
