Dr Kwame Asiedu Sarpong, a leading pharmacist and a Democracy and Development Fellow at the Ghana Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), has attributed the readiness with which some Ghanaian women engaged intimately with a Russian man to the entrenched belief in white superiority over black people.
He argued that beyond the moral dimensions of such encounters lies a deeper issue of mental enslavement, which positions black individuals as inferior to Caucasians and reinforces the idea that white people are inherently better.
Dr Sarpong is advocating for deliberate efforts to dismantle the deeply rooted perception of white supremacy that continues to shape the minds of Africans, often manifesting in behaviours that reflect an inferiority complex.
“Let’s move beyond the moral lens for a moment—there’s a profound conversation to be had about mental slavery in this Russian situation. We must begin to liberate ourselves from the mindset that a Caucasian is superior to a black person. That is my perspective,” he asserted.
The comments follow the circulation of videos online, uploaded by a Russian man, showing intimate encounters with multiple Ghanaian women shortly after meeting them. The footage has sparked widespread debate, with many accusing the women of moral laxity and suggesting they were influenced by the man’s whiteness.
For Dr Sarpong, however, the behaviour of the women reflects a deeper psychological conditioning—one in which black people, when confronted with white individuals, often act from a place of internalised subordination.
