American blacks have yet to experience African tribalism. If you aren’t their tribe, then you are a target.
These are no doubt wealthy retired black people who did well in America. I dont imagine the experience would be the same if they were low income section 8 people. Never seen anyone move to a mud hut in Kenya and just love it there....
Brings Shaka Zulu to mind. Black bros on pikes.
Here is a American black who found out the hard realities of life in the Mother continent, good read. Out of America

A Black Man Confronts Africa
Keith B. Richburg was an experienced and respected reporter who had paid his dues covering urban neighborhoods in Washington D.C. and won praise for his coverage of Southeast Asia. But nothing prepared him for the personal odyssey that he would embark upon when he was assigned to cover Africa. In this powerful book, Richburg takes the reader on an extraordinary journey that sweeps from Somalia to Rwanda to Zaire and finally to South Africa. He shows how he came to terms with the divide within himself: between his African racial heritage and his American cultural identity. Are these really my people? Am I truly an African-American? The answer, Richburg finds, after much soul-searching, is that no, he is not an African, but an American first and foremost. To those who romanticize Mother Africa as a black Valhalla, where blacks can walk with dignity and pride, he regrets that this is not the reality. He has been there and witnessed the killings, the repression, the false promises, and the horror. “Thank God my nameless ancestor, brought across the ocean in chains and leg irons, made it out alive,” he concludes. “Thank God I am an American.”
