R&B singer Akon is hyping his centrally planned community in Senegal, the country of his childhood, promising that every African American who invests with him will become a millionaire. In addition, he says if they collectively leave the U.S. for Africa, they could do real damage to the country that has oppressed them so much.
The 50-year-old artist, whose real name is Aliaune Damala Badara Thiam, was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and spent much of his childhood in Senegal. Consequently, he is a big believer in Africa.
“If you’re coming from America or Europe or elsewhere in the diaspora and you feel that you want to visit Africa, we want Senegal to be your first stop,” Akon said in 2020 of the reported $6 billion project.

I wish his well with this movement.
First thing that popped up in my head when I read the headline...
Cotton Comes to Harlem, with Godfrey Cambridge. 1970.
I’ll help them pack.

It’s absolutely astonishing. If you’re an American citizen living here in the year 2023 you are one of the most privileged people to have EVER LIVED, anywhere at any time.
To have the rights you do, along with the standard of living you have, and then believe that you’re ‘oppressed’ and a ‘victim’ only exposes how big of a spoiled and brainwashed snowflake you are, with no comprehension of what REAL oppression looks like.
I’m sure millions will follow /s

They can also return to the country that sold their ancestors into slavery in the first place. Perhaps a return to the ancestral ‘hood’, will show them who has repressed whom. Africans despise US blacks, so it will be a learning experience.
Wakanda Forever!! Conveniently located in Senegal ...
I think that is a great idea. When does the ships depart?

As soon as the order is fulfilled for chains ...
He needs a better carrot. Howabout free hair weaves?
He actually meant to say “Crime in America will collapse overnight”.
Perhaps Harry and Meghan can become the monarchs of Wakanda 2. Ok well one can dream I guess
I really like this guy...
“Senegal would instantaneously be transformed.”
The money would all get spent on whores and drugs for a few years—and then Senegel would go back to grinding poverty.
Same here. If every black person left our country, our crime rate would plummet. I'd give a special pass on Clarence Thomas though.

Paying airfare to Africa is FAR better than hundreds of thousands or millions in fake reparations. (Leftist plan to bankrupt America.)
Move to Africa to join a centrally planned economy designed and run by a musician (?). What could go wrong?
Please, please, please, please, please, please.
Oh no radical black peebles, dont go!(/sarc.)
Absolutely!!
Each one that moves will increase the average IQ of both countries.
Its worth a try
