Jes’ka Washington lives in a six-bedroom house on a hill with avocado trees and a spectacular view, not far from the rabbit farm she runs. For less than $50,000, Shoshana Kirya-Ziraba and her husband built a four-bedroom, two-bathroom house on family farmland with goats, turkeys and about a thousand chickens. Mark and Marlene Bradley now call themselves islanders and the owners of three homes cooled by ocean breezes.
All of them are Black Americans who found their new homes in Africa. They are enjoying the substantially lower cost of living and, more important, they said, the absence of the racism and discrimination they experienced in the United States.
The Covid pandemic and the racial reckoning in the wake of the murder of George Floyd led some Black Americans to seek a different way of life abroad, in a movement that some are calling Blaxit.
Those moving to Africa are also looking for an ancestral connection. Their migration is less about money and more about acceptance, a path that many intellectuals and artists have taken before.

Africa has enough problems as it is. They don’t need an influx of Democrats to make things worse.
Kill the paywall.
See post 34.
Their ancestors were sold into slavery there and before anyone gets paid by the US government the ones in Africa should have had many years of paying.
Good luck getting a stent or even a statin in Stone Town lofl.
Oh but wait, life expectancy is only 57 in Zanzibar, so it's cool. SCHADENFREUDE.
"Life expectancy at birth is 57 years, which is significantly lower than the 2010 world average of 67.2."
Gonna be fascinating to watch them be rejected by Africans who don’t buy any of that crap.
“Paywall. No thanks.
What countries in Africa are they fleeing to?”
I was able to copy the article before the pay wall popped up.
The article mentions Uganda, Ghana and Zanzibar. Zanzibar being on an island off the coast of Africa, so I doubt there’s much coming into contact with their ancestral heritage going on there.
Also, it appears that they are avoiding South Africa like the plague......weird right?
Blacks who were born here have been brainwashed with “whitey racism.” They have visceral, unwarranted, imaginary hatred towards “whitey.” Their racist attitude is palpable. On the other hand, people who immigrate here from African countries have not been brainwashed, have no visceral hatred, and are great people to work with.
Our government needs to tell the hoards of invaders pouring across our borders that things have actually gotten much better than where they just came from.
The biggest problem with many parts of Africa are that most of the governments end up becoming unstable once the strongman in charge is toppled. When a group of militants decide to take over and behead all the non-Muslims in a shopping mall, or the help that they hired decides that they have been insulted in some way... it can all be over. “Racism” or any other made-up hardship they faced here are completely irrelevant by comparison. But I do wish them well and hope that they will convince their family and friends to follow in their foot steps.
Gonna need a lot of them to counteract the Chinese presence in Africa.
great news and a grand decision- tell your friends. buh-bye.
Those who travel to the lands of their ancestors will realize that they can’t stay because they’re Americans even if they didn’t realize it until then.
Uganda? Fani Willis ought to go. Tell her it’s a posh Bahamas resort, she won’t know the difference.
What can I do to encourage this trend?
But I have to vett the black person in question. If they are a Fanni Willis or a Alvin Bragg type, they can go. If they are like Walter Wilson or Thomas Sowell, they must stay.
That would be awesome. Can they take their fellow thugs from MS-13 and other Latino gangs with them?
Well, good. Now get that chain emigration started.
They will not have look far.
The ancestors of every Black American were captured and sold into slavery by their Black African cousins!
Don’t let them back.
