Getting back to Africa has been more and more in the front of my mind. It just seems like a set up for hard times in the future for black people over here. Do I really want my kids growing up in that environment and going through that?
I think building a relationship with the continent and slowly beginning to establish roots is wiser.
The issue that some African parents have with reconnecting their kids to the continent is they wait until they are much older and are accustomed to the westernized lifestyle then all of a sudden want to flip the script.
Your kids are American they didn’t grow up back home so you can’t do that. You have to survey the terrain and prepare for how life will be if you are to transition. As much as Africa has a lot of potential it’s still very much a diamond in the rough. It’s tough for people who live there all their life, imagine those who have not.
This is where those I am going back home cause the west is trash go wrong. Facts are the west offers a standard of living in some respect that is superior than most African countries.
Many returnees or diasporas African would have to go through a pioneering stage and snap out of the mindset of a foundational done system.
