Oscars: Actress KJ Smith Suggests Black Americans ‘Start Looking Into’ Moving to Africa Due to U.S. Political Climate
Breitbart ^ | 3-3-25 | Alana Mastrangelo

Actress KJ Smith bizarrely suggested that the black community “start looking into” moving to Africa due to the political climate in the United States during a red carpet event at the Oscars on Sunday evening.

After being asked if there is something she wishes “is there something that you wish was talked about more within our community,” Smith replied, “Understanding our roots,” adding, “I think it’s really important.”

From the article: "There are countries that are receiving us back — citizenship back — with open arms, and I think that it's time for the black community, as a whole, to start looking into those resources,” Smith added."

Very clever wiggle wording. Time "to start looking."

Note she -- with media attention and no doubt a publicist and agent -- could have announced her selection of am African nation that would "receive" her. But, no. This is just a public relations stunt, among the many "I'm leaving" stunts wherein hardly anyone leaves.

Remember de Generes? Left to the UK circa November 2024. Got flooded. People Mag-the-Rag states last January of 2025, "Now that she's back stateside, it appears the look is here to stay."

Seems virtue signaling is rarely followed up with anything. Time "to start looking." Translation: "Notice me."

I suspect that Trump is continuing to gain support of black males, because they don’t really give a rip about Ukraine, and support Trump’s peace efforts.

As if any of them would do it.

Makes no sense at all.

Hi KJ, I’ll call your moronic bluff. Leave and give up your citizenship. Today.

Back to Africa Movement
The Back-to-Africa movement was a political movement in the 19th and 20th centuries advocating for the return of African American descendants to the African continent.
It gained significant popularity in the early 20th century, particularly under the leadership of Marcus Garvey, but it was not widely followed by most African Americans. Few actually left the United States, with only around 12,000 African Americans moving to Liberia, where they sometimes faced brutal conditions.
The movement was motivated by the desire to escape slavery and discrimination, but it was also criticized for being a scheme to rid the nation of free blacks.

Understanding our roots

Yes. It’s important to know which ones you can eat, and which, you can’t.

Africa is tribal in the fullest sense of the word. Being black does not make you a member of their tribe.

If you had money they will tolerate you but you will never be accepted. So any black American that thinks moving to Africa is a good idea should do their research and talk to those that may have tried.

After just sticking to the subject- the performances and productions- of these vile stories (except the Dylan bio, which was good)- Conan O’Brien says “this movie about Russians got 2 awards. “I guess Hollywood wants to see someone stand up to a Russian”

The audience was happy for a second. Clap clap clap. “You have to hate Trump or we shall be even more vile” clap clap .

Majority of black people don’t want to move to Africa, idiot.

They are born here, are US citizens, and just happen to be black.

I haven’t watched Oscars since 1976. Last time was when Bob Hope presented one to an actor and he did not show up. Hope said that the actor was probably playing cards with Marlon Brando and George C. Scott.
