Heck, if I knew they were leaving, I would’ve made a sandwich for them for their trip.

Africans think black Americans are loud, arrogant, spoiled, entitled, poorly behaved, and stupid.

Good thing the Africans can’t be racist!

of the millions of slaves sold in the african slave trade... i think they said nearly 25 million... 400000 came to north america... about 4-5 % at the most.

brazil got the lions share.

doesn’t make it right, but doesn’t make us the devils we are made out to be.

And those 15000 Haitians were already living elsewhere in South America, so whats the crap about them bein’ refugees?

If they wanna move, by all means, repatriate them to Ghana or Nigeria.

But we all know why they’re really here, right?

Whitey gotz da cash

"I was educated, professional. I had friends. I was a socialite… but I never felt safe."

A lot of Americans share that sentiment, but many black folks are Fine Upstanding Americans.

She was talking about feeling unsafe from being around black folks, right? Does she know there's a lot of black folks in Africa, right?

* Ghana has an open immigration policy for any American blacks that wants citizenship. *

You could probably live like a king there based on the relative cost of living:

And the level of safety:

"I was living what people would consider the American dream," she told Patta. "I was educated, professional. I had friends. I was a socialite… but I never felt safe."

 

Shocking! That anyone living in DC would say that!

Look sister. I'm a white male. And even I would not feel safe in DC

Sonjiah Davis was the epitome of Washington cool. She was a well-connected, successful therapist trained to deal with emotional health. And yet, living in the capital of the United States, she says she was constantly looking over her shoulder.

Probably looking out for other black people. Like Jesse Jackson said, "There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see someone white and feel relieved."

I read up on this.

Only the rich, educated US blacks will leave as Ghana is vetting with a fine tooth comb who will be allowed into their country.
In other words only people who can benefit their country and not be a burden.

White people are truly the most stupid people on the planet and self dooming through white guilt.

“Unsafe.”
Most crime is committed by blacks. She felt unsafe because of that.

Ghana wants her because she’s an educated professional.

Neither you nor I are responsible for actions committed by other people. Guilt is not shared on the basis of the reflectance of one’s epidermis.

Hmmmm. They are pushing a reverse-brain/wealth drain. Great thing for Ghana if American money and skills can help advance the country.

I wish them success.
But I do not think that will happen.

I have friends from Nigeria, great people, and they cannot stand American blacks.

I fully support these people to move there and create the utopia they seek. Honestly I do. Hopefully it would either give them a huge lesson in how great they have it in the USA, or they actually make and find the life they want over there.

Blacks for the most part were born in the western world and completely rejected it. Since the 50s there has been a split. 70 years ago the black family and the white family were indistinguishable. They had the same values, the same beliefs, the same love of country. Not anymore.

No thanks to LBJ and welfare. Even Malcolm X said that the White Liberal was the greatest enemy of black people.

I remember this being suggested in the 70’s, and people were saying it was racist. Amazing what 50 years will do for you.
