'I'm leaving and I'm just not coming back': Fed up with racism, Black Americans head overseas

This ties in the the thread on Ghana offering Black Americans a new home

"Anthony Baggette knew the precise moment he had to get out: He was driving by a convenience store in Cincinnati when a police officer pulled him over. There had been a robbery. He fit the description given by the store's clerk: a Black man.

Okunini Ọbádélé Kambon knew: He was arrested in Chicago and accused by police of concealing a loaded gun under a seat in his car. He did have a gun. But it was not loaded. He used it in his role teaching at an outdoor skills camp for inner-city kids. Kambon also had a license. The gun was kept safely in the car's trunk.

Tiffanie Drayton knew: Her family kept getting priced out of gentrifying neighborhoods in New Jersey. She felt they were destined to be forever displaced in the USA. Then Trayvon Martin was shot and killed after buying a bag of Skittles and a can of iced tea."

The above is a very well written article and it's a shame that people feel the need to leave but the option is there for those who feel so disenfranchised. The one thing I did notice is that I didn't see where anyone was giving up their US citizenship for their new countries.

 

Abraham Lincoln had the best idea of all.

Gather the blacks and transport them to Africa. That is why they are called Africans. It is their natural heritage to live in Africa.

 

Don’t think many Black people would enjoy living in Ghana. They wouldn’t enjoy living anywhere in Africa actually. That’s the irony.

 

I wish them safe travels is all I can say, sorry they feel that way I didnt read the article, not a big fan usatoday. Tons of people move out of the usa every year for various reasons

Perhaps some of those angry celebrities will finally head out too, it's been 4 years, they must have had a lot of if packing to do.

 

Now, you Europeans go back to Europe because that is your national heritage to live there.

 

I advise all viewers to watch this video.


What is it about?

A female professor talks on the program Uncommon Knowledge about her personal experiences both in America and Africa her native continent. She contrasts life for blacks in both parts of the world.

She is very well worth listening to.

 

I cite some differences.

1. We do not call ourselves Europeans. Americans born in the USA constantly operate with pride citing the word African in their self descriptions.

2. We do not seek reparations for acts done by the Puritans.

 

You are not allowed to move the goalpost to score...
You were not invited to the US the Indians said so...

 

There has been plenty of transportation for them since Dec 19, 2016. Bet you thought it was in November 2016.

Trump and his running mate, Mike Pence, were formally elected by the Electoral College on December 19, 2016. The win was certified by an electoral vote tally by a joint session of Congress on January 6, 2017.

 

Are you alleging we call ourselves Europeans? The goal posts are equal.

 

Yes you call yourselves European descendants. Plus you don't get to decide who stays or who leaves.

 

Sir, my ancestors arrived here well ahead of the founders.

So you get to decide for us? roaring with laughter.

 

As much as they bitch about being in the US, the luckiest day of their lives was the day their ancestors were brought here. Otherwise their lives would have been ended in infancy by disease, ended in early adulthood by disease, or by a bullet from a rival tribe.

 

The irony is that when Black lives matter started. we had a black president.

8 years, 2 elections and he was not able to persuade them.

 

Nobody gets to decide that is the crux of the matter... You however advocate for the removal of humans that have just as much right to live here as you do.

 

A number of rational blacks have said that and got skewered for it.

Check out the racism in this video, where does this kid move to?

Too late, we've already conquered this chunk of land and put an end to Indian on Indian slavery.

 

I know you prefer other forms of slavery while advertising what a free nation it be.

 

Do you mean the kind of slavery they have in China, Africa, Central and South America and the countries that end in Stan? How does it feel to support Kaepernick knowing he's making money off the backs of chinese slave labor?

 

That is actually not such a bad idea. We could repopulate the European continent with White people and stave of the demographic decline of the race there, recapturing the continent from the African and ME invaders.

Make Europe a White homeland. I like the idea.

It would be a pity to watch the USA fester into a third world hell-hole a la South Africa when the Whites were dethroned from their supremacy. But such is life.

 

Spear not bullet. AND don't forget or eaten by a lion

 

Well, they do self ID as African before American.

 

Buy bye

 

If Oscar-Winning South African Actress Charlize Theron bore a Child with an American Father of European Caucasian Descent, would that child be considered "African-American"?



As far as the OP Topic and Ghana?

It is one of the "Better" African Countries (in "Relative" terms)...
