R.I.P. to the woman.

As for this 'Diaspora war'... Let's try to find the right way to the truth.

1. Good and bad people exist in all races, ethnic groups, meta-ethnicities, nationalities, religious groups, etc.
2. If one does decide to migrate to an African country, one must research the geography and cultural aspects (food, languages, politics, laws, religions, etc) of the country.
3. Don't move to an African country with the 'we all black, black people are the same' mentality. You will be an immigrant and the natives will see you as such and you'll have to learn the cultural norms of the country. The 'we all black, black people are the same' mentality also reeks of ignorance that if a non-black said the same, you'll say that's racist (and rightfully so).
4. There are plenty of ethnic enclaves within African countries where people from a certain African country congregate e.g. a Nigerian community in South Africa or Ghana, A Kenyan community in IVC/CIV, A small Eritrean community in Angola. So much for 'we all black, black people are the same'. I have no doubt that if many of us Afro-descendants of the Americas (Afram/ADOS, Jamaicans, Haitians, Afro-Brazilians, Afro-Colombians, etc) were to migrate to any African country, we'd congregate into our own ethnic enclaves. It's natural.
5. Prepare for the culture shock.

For those who want to migrate to an African country, I wish you well.

We seem to be the only people that refuse to operate on an ethnic basis, but always crying about trying to find community :francis:. She knew nobody over there, didn't know the language, culture or land, but wanted to escape the racism in America. I understand that, but your escape is reforming our ethnic connections and strengthening our community to protect, feed and educate ourselves. Not going to s foreign land.

You aren't an African or a part of any of their communities just because you resemble them. They will use you. Sadly she learned the hard way.

You gotta get plugged in with the police if you're overseas and alone like that. How can you trust a random dusty.

We got no business over there :francis:

Went over there to help folks out and that’s what she gets as a thank you? Where’s the Africans coming here to help us?

Rest in Peace Norma

Theres always that one clown who is ready to tuck their tail between their legs over one incident. Shut your scared ass up. Youre supposed to always keep your head on a shrivel even in your own home.

Not victim blaming. Just pointing out the complete lack of common sense and true self love most of us seem to operate with. There have been a couple other old, single ladies killed over there recently.

An old woman has no business isolating herself in a foreign land like that, but when every part of your culture is degrading and warped into self-hate, people will start running from their ethnicity and seek shelter elsewhere.
