“the incessant racism and prejudice in the United States”
What do you expect from aljizzera? Nothing but hatred for the country that tolerates their lack of effort. Good. Go to Africa and put a bone in your nose. Your victim mentality will not go far there. There are no Whiteys in sight that you can blame for your self-induced failures.

Great Data. This will be going out to my email list:

Let’s start with the question of fatal violence. 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.

There are no African Americans

There are Africans, and a number of Africans, Black and White I am friends with in Kenya and Tanzania are great people.

And there are Americans. Many of them are great people. Others are FUBAR.

There are no African Americans.

There is no possibility of split loyalty. To all who call themselves African Americans, make a choice, and if it is Africa, fine, but then go there and live in their social, welfare, educational, medical and political systems.

Train’s leaving. Time for them to get on or get off.

..and because you do not have the infrastructure, you will be targeted by the have nots, with no one to protect you unless its armed private security.

As so often is the case, the dream and the reality are going to be two different things. She’s going to find that she’s still an outsider and looked down upon in some quarters, because in the eyes of Africans she’s “colored,” meaning mixed race. Very few American black people are entirely of African heritage.

It makes sense for them to move to Africa irrespective of racism. They have skills they acquired here and Africa is a place sorely lacking in that area.

Early in the article:
No matter where you were sold or left the port, Senegal or Ghana, no one can be certain where you came from.

Later in the article:
so when I realised I could do the same things in Africa as I could back in the US, I was sold.

Interesting choice of words...

"You hear stories about the richest black people, like Oprah Winfrey, getting shut out of a store or Jay-Z not being allowed to buy [an apartment]. Those things happen.

Actually, those never happened...and Oprah's (fake) allegation was from PARIS, not the "racist" U.S.

Fabricated, like all Leftist BS.

Someone noticed there are thousands of US passport holders in Africa and made up an explanation.

Most of them are local Africans who came to America for US citizenship and went back. US citizenship protects them a bit from the predations of their African neighbors.

I bet the number of repatriated Pakistanis, Indians and Saudis who use US passports is stunning.

One need only look at the civil wars in Rwanda, Liberia, and Sierra Leone to see what blacks are capable of doing to other blacks. Even the Dakar Rally, named because it ran from France to Senegal, is held in South America now...

If you thought choosing between Michigan and Michigan State was tough just wait until you have to choose between Tutsi and Hutu or some other similar tribal rivalry...

Moving was an opportunity to fulfil* her potential and avoid being targeted by racial violence.

WHO CAN BLAME HER, with scenes like this unfolding across the U.S. daily...

Oh, never mind...that was 64 years ago.

“I did graduate school in Ghana in 2003 and went back to New York and then moved to Ghana in 2014.”

Apparently she hopes to be a 1%er over there; I suspect she received “participation diplomas/degrees” her whole life and was marginally employed in NY between 2003 and 2014.

I agree that this is no “movement” among “African-Americans”; why would you believe that a population that tends to cluster around freebies/”social safety nets” here in the US would move to such a sh!thole?

This is sad. The only reason I see for this happening is racism.

Black on black racism.

But the facts are clear. Blacks have more to fear from other blacks than they do from whites, cops, or other groups.

What a choice: Living in the slums of Chicago. Or the better parts (yes, there are some) of Africa.

I agree with you.

Having worked with African engineers several times over the years, you find that they are not infected with “American Black Culture”. Nor, in fact, are their kids.

It doesn’t really matter who is to blame for it, its a real thing. The best thing that can happen is, if you are born into it, get out. Its not so strong among career military and their kids who are raised on military bases, for example. And if you have a chance to do a work assignment outside the US, whether Africa or Europe or Latin America, the best thing that can happen is to take the kids and go. Again, you’ll find that black kids who have lived abroad are much less affected by “Black American Culture”. And that’s a mercy.
