[Lurker]

By all means, please.

[Republican in occupied CA]

Some of the Nigerian women I met in college were amongst the most stunningly beautiful women I’ve ever seen.

Genuinely *BLACK* skin; not dark, not brown, black as moonless night.

[Organic Panic]

No white man to torment them in Ghana.

[Surrounded_too]

What about the Wannabes?

[Tax-chick]

I hope it works out for them.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

You must live in an opaque bubble.

[Chgogal]

They will be back.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

By saying crime as a generalization you must be narrowcasting away from violent crime. When you look at violent crime only the stats look very very bad for blacks.

"Today, roughly 3,000 American expatriates live in Ghana.

Some view the arrivals as wealthy outsiders in a country where 30 percent of the population lives on less than $3.20 per day."

[vpintheak]

Yep! More power to them!

[MayflowerMadam]

But if they all leave, we won’t have anybody to act in TV commercials.

[eyeamok]

Do they have a GoFundMe or a way us racist white folks can help, to atone for our privilege of course.

[RummyChick]

Will regret it just like those that went to Afghanistan to be jihadi wives

[ready2brd]

Blacks are still at 29% of violent crime. Not a “majority” as the OP claimed. I am not making commentary on the importance of the statistic, I just hate when people just make crap up. That is how misinformation spreads. Words have meanings, and if you are not intelligent enough to use the LO properly, then don’t

Davis believes trauma is embedded in her DNA, from the transatlantic slave trade to the Tulsa race massacre in 1921 that saw some of her family displaced from their homes.

That's not how DNA works. But she probably feels real smart saying "DNA."

[17th Miss Regt]

...it was a central trading hub where African people from around the continent were sold into slavery.

Nonsense. Africans enslaved other Africans and then brought the slaves to the castle to be sold to European slave traders.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

God bless them. Live long and prosper.

Please tell all the brothers and sisters back in America how great it is! Spread the joy! Here's wishing you all a great future.

[17th Miss Regt]

In other words only people who can benefit their country and not be a burden.

What a brilliant idea! The United States should try that!

[TexasM1A]

Boy are they in for a surprise.
I wonder how many renounce thier citizenship?
And what’s the over/under for how long it takes them to come back?
