R&B star Akon has suggested that African-Americans living in the US should move back to Africa following George Zimmerman's acquittal in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin.
The Smack That hitmaker, who was born in Senegal, west Africa, took to his Instagram page after the trial in which Zimmerman was found not guilty of murder and manslaughter by a jury of six women in Sanford, Florida.
Posting a screen grab of the live broadcast of the trial he wrote: "Every African-American in the United States needs to move their money, family, knowledge back to Africa were you will be treated like the royalty you are.
"You don't deserve this treatment. This is not your country."
The 40-year-old star is among a number of stars who reacted to the acquittal of the teenager's killer after jurors accepted his claim that he shot Trayvon in self-defence.
Singer Kelly Rowland shed tears for the teenager and his family, Lil' Kim cried out for justice, and Russell Simmons called for a change to gun laws.
Beyoncé took a moment to honour Martin during her Mrs Carter Show World Tour concert at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennesse. Her concert started about 30 minutes after news of the Zimmerman verdict began to circulate.
Before singing the chorus of I Will Always Love You, she told the crowd : "I'd like to have a moment of silence for Trayvon."
Protests have been held across country. Trayvon's parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, were "heartbroken and devastated," their lawyer said.
Move to Africa, Jose and Carlos want your job and your house and your girlfriend.
Maybe we should start a charity where people can sponsor families that want to make the trip. I will gladly pony up the moving expense for one family on condition that US citizenship is renounced and no one in the family ever return. I’m sure their lives will be so much easier in Africa though that they’d never regret leaving.
Is there an internet site where we can donate to buy these ingrates one-way tickets? I fully support this.
hahaha! That kicked off a song in my head! Somebody should parody with this song.
Bwahahahahaaaaaa.
It just gets crazier and crazier. Black africans are killing other black africans faster than black americans can kill other black americans.
Unless we add in the abortion of black american babies into the mix.
If we add abortions in I think black americans win hands down. And only libs can call that a win.
That’s a fine idea. They already have an administration in place that can lead the way!
....are we taking up a collection?
Oh please, oh please let this be a plea that gains traction and starts a massive movement of Ghetto and Marxist blacks out of this country, to ‘greener’ pastures for them and their kind.
But something tells me that the idea of taking a risk to build a new life for themselves is as foreign and alien as the idea of working for themselves instead of sponging off the productive is.
Wasn’t this called “Liberia” — founded by freed slaves returned to Africa?

He needs to Google “Liberia”.
Ex-slaves tried this in the 1800’s. Those who did not die of malaria or other diseases declared themselves the New Elite and began oppressing the local black population. Not unlike all those EEEEEEEEVIL RAAAAAAACIST whites back home. This went on until an explosive and bloody backlash/civil war in the 70’s and 80’s.
Not wanting to repeat the experience, the local Africans will likely kill any such settlers showing up over there.
Clayton Bigsby, is that you?
“Is there an internet site where we can donate to buy these ingrates one-way tickets? I fully support this.”
The American Colonization Society. Been around since 1820.
Specifically to help repatriate ex-slaves and descendants to Liberia.
Please by all means....
Please stay. We need you here to fight the good fight. Without your mindset we can not win this war.
And his life will be taken by Boko Haram types.
Oh No! Don’t take all of your knowledge with you!
Brain drain? In most communities around the country the best students are anything but children of African descent.
