Trading incessant racism and prejudice for persistent malaria and ebola. To each his own, I guess.

Perhaps more adds on TV extolling the virtues of Africa is needed. After all, remember those adds about Belize!

Who knows! Maybe some for returning to England and Ireland!

I’ve been to Africa. Instead of police there are usually soldiers. Low paid, with automatic weapons and usually high. Thy supplement their income by shaking down folks that may have looked like they might do something wrong. And everyone is black.

Whenever leftists say they are going to leave the USA because of Trump or whatever, they only ever consider the whitest places on earth. Australia, New Zealand, somewhere in europe, maybe scandanavia. NEVER mexico, africa, etc.

They are really very happy when i point out they are only considering the whitest places on earth

They don’t have cops over there

They have drug/war lords

The cops are just security for the drug/war lords.

How about free one way airplane tickets..?

This would be the cheapest and most effective social program we ever had!

We could start Fund Me programs for those ready to leave!

From the article: "...You might not have electricity, but you won't get killed by the police either..."

From the National Review: "...Last year, according to the Washington Post’s tally, just 16 unarmed black men, out of a population of more than 20 million, were killed by the police. The year before, the number was 36. These figures are likely close to the number of black men struck by lightning in a given year, considering that happens to about 300 Americans annually and black men are 7 percent of the population. And they include cases where the shooting was justified, even if the person killed was unarmed..."

So, we can recast the comment above in a less idiotic, stupid, and racist manner to appropriate reflect the situation.

"...You might not have electricity, but you won't get killed lightning either..."

Either I'm confused or she is.

I went to Howard, which is a historically black university.
Good education.

...despite her education and experience, she was always made to feel like a second-class citizen.

And yet...
...I chose five people that I've met since I've been here and every one of them went to a black college in the US. It's something that prepares you mentally to realise you aren't a second-class citizen.

Maybe Howard wasn't such a good choice after all if she didn't come to the same realization.

Black or not, based on the smug, arrogant, self-righteous tone of their comments I suspect these folks will burn out there welcome with the locals in short order.

They will then become American-Africans.

I hire an American black man for housework for $20/hout. He says as an American he wouldn’t dare travel to several black-run countries.

I have been telling people for years, and had the discussion last night with friends: The most poisonous and dangerous things to black people are:

1.) Other Black people

2.) American Black Culture

The truth is they do not have the political/ social infrastructure and philosophical evolution that America has reaching back to the Magna Carta.
That is why Africa is in total disarray. The main stream is still tribal oriented as they have billions (lol) of years of their system “working”. They also suffer the tribal rooted barbaric and piratical 7th century islam.
Combined, they will be their largest anchor preventing success.

Africans generally don’t care for “African-Americans”.
