I propose something like, every house built for a returning afrikan, one ahould be built for a native.

We can't go there expecting to live lavish off money we earned in america and not expect to catch hate.

That's a bit much and would be costly. It's not necessarily that easy or cheap depending on which African country you choose.

Just have the contracts go to locals. Maybe consider going to countries with decent labour laws that aren't spreading their cheeks for cacs or Asians.

I wouldn't propose anything like that. Just basic respect.

At the end of the day we have had to suffer as well. It is not our responsibility to give half of what we have, but in the spirit of moving forward it is important to treat one another with respect and compassion.
What are you babbling about?

I mean, how would it be taken anywhere with people moving in, building big ass houses, while you a native not living equal? Resentment and perceived :mjpls: would arise.

Us diaspora blacks had access to capital those natives didn't. Feelings will be caught.

No, they don’t like us. And no, they don’t appreciate us moving there and appropriating their land. I wish her the best, but she better stay frosty :ufdup:


Ex-Detroit Activist & Sister Slain in Ghana

Jeannette Salters of Detroit got involved in activism in the early 1970s, and it was that activism that led her to discovering her roots and moving to Ghana, as well as changing her name to Mamelena Diop. Along with Diop, other Detroiters moved to Ghana to reclaim their roots.

Detroit is now mourning the loss of one of their own. Diop and her sister, Nzinga Janna, were both found murdered near their home in Ghana. According to Ghanian online news site, Diop was 75 and her sister was 60 at the time of death. So far, two men have been arrested in connection to the murders.

“I feel terrible about what happened,” said her son, Greg Salters of Detroit. “It’s a tragedy. Words can’t even explain how I feel about my mom being taken away from her home, murdered and put in a shallow grave 300 feet from her home.”

Salters family says she was killed because people wanted the land she acquired from the government in Ghana.

“Some locals decided they wanted to take the land from them,” he said. “My mom went to court over that” and won.


“I guess the locals decided they were going to take matters into their own hands,” he said. “And they decided to abduct and murder them.”

The sisters went missing last Tuesday, and while searching their home, blood was found, as well as the object used to kill them.

“She loved that place,” said Diop’s daughter Cheryl Salters. “She loved Africa. The people were nice.”

The family is trying to raise money through GoFundMe to ship the sisters’ remains back to Detroit.

“My mother was very articulate, very into herbs and holistic medicine, eating natural,” said Cheryl Salters.


I already predicted someone would come with this article. It is the only article and case you fools have...











Plus, you can go to these 2 facebook groups, full of black american people with PASSPORTS, and despite the fact that they have visited South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, and a lot of countries in Europe, the most rated location for them to retire is always GHANA!!!!

It is not all flowers, but the overall rate has been pretty good. No one should be forced to move or shamed to embrace pan-africanism or something like that. It is pathetic to do that, just like it was pathetic what you tried to do...

They sold us into slavery. It is not and never will be our responsibility to give them 1 of what we have.

What we can do is treat them with respect and ensure the terms of their labour do not exploit their conditions. If you feel like going the extra mile, invest in the communities, create and expand on existing networks.

Damn that's messed up. Do you think the same thing would've happened to a Jamaican, Nigerian, or any other black group?
