African Leaders Consider Offering Citizenship To US Slave Descendants

[Loyalist]

The first lot of black Americans who take up these African governments on their offer will be whining the loudest about how life in Africa isn't as good as it is in America and how bad the locals are.

Their complaints might shut down the nonsense about Afrocentrism and returning to Mother Africa once and for all.

Alright......let the slogan be

Boating...not Bussing..

[cripplecreek]

It could be good for Africa if they didn't end up with Charles Taylor wannabes. Besides, if I were a slave descendant you couldn't pay me enough to live there.

This is Scrappleface, right? No, I am being serious here - this is Scrappleface, right?

And I'll Pay the freight to send Jesse and Rev. Al Home . . .

Actually I'm a little surprised they've never considered it themselves. Both are greedy and power hungry. Must be the fact that there's more money for them to soak up right here.

If they take up African citizenship, then they should be deported to Africa, at their own expense. Our society cannot survive with all this dual citizenship jazz.

[PistolPaknMama]

Hmmmm, ask yourself why they just want American decendants of slaves. African slaves were disbursed very widely, but they just want the American ones. Things that make you go hmmmmm.

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

Just what we need. Another set of hyphanated americans with dual citizenship.

[Paperdoll]

The CFR at work in memory of Rhodes, no doubt.

[MD_Willington_1976]

I would serioulsy laugh at anyone of them that returned to The Republic of Benin... Benin uhad the habit of going inland for slave hunts every month...

Truth is, their own people sold them out...

[Vision]

I see a lot of folks taking this up /rolling eyes

And where are the reparations offered from the capture and sale of their natives? Jessie? Al?

"Hmmmm, ask yourself why they just want American decendants of slaves. African slaves were disbursed very widely, but they just want the American ones. Things that make you go hmmmmm.'



An opportunity to gain some citizens and investment from the healthiest, richest, best educated, and most accomplished blacks to ever exist on the planet.

[12th_Monkey]

WOW!! For each one that leaves, tuck an illegal alien under each arm.

[jblair]

we have a winner

[A CA Guy]

If the welfare isn't there along with cable TV, that ain't happening.

[Ronin]

This is a great idea. And it should be mentioned whenever the topic of reparations come up.

Let the slogan be "Reparations and Repatriation!"

[TheDotte]

I suspect it would involve dual citizenship. I wonder if they will have to pay taxes to "Mother Africa" as a result.

[FreedomCalls]

Hmmmm, ask yourself why they just want American decendants of slaves. African slaves were disbursed very widely, but they just want the American ones. Things that make you go hmmmmm.
