Ghana, a place for African-Americans to resettle

[Red Shield]

A battle? How exactly are you fighting such battles? By marching and protesting every time a black kid is shot? How will marching and protesting and writing a letter to your local congressman going to yield any change?

The only way to get real change is by violence (see Ismaaiyl Brinsley, Malcolm X) but most black people aren't willing to go that route. Instead we want to talk about forgiveness (http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2015/06/dylann-roof-manifesto-forgiveness/396428/).

The world is a big place. The US isn't the only country in the world. Why not move to another country if it means you'll have a better life? This is what some of the Jews did when they moved out of Germany.

@JudgeJoeGorilla talk to these people man

Tell me about it. lol

My point is you considering people against the idea white. Which imo is unfair. So what if they dont want to move to Africa, criticize the idea or entertain the idea. How the heck does that make them white? That's like saying a redneck southern white American is not white because he doesn't want to move to overly liberal/non-religious Scandinavia... .

I understand your point and responded to it. Is it really out of the realm of possibility that there are whites who would prefer to keep Blacks under their heel here? History says not.

And like I said it goes both ways. Why the heck are people only focusing on AA's dissing Africans, when it happens the other way too. Go on Nairaland and you'll see. Any "back to Africa" topic is usually centered around Africans on that site saying they dont want "akata" mass migrating.

It sure does go both ways. I've encountered that problem as well. Probably because those same people watch the same news we do and many believe what the media preaches.

An article about black people resettling in Ghana and you still worried about cacs ?

Like a mentally and physically tortured slave afraid to leave the plantation because of what massa might do if they get caught


Psychological warfare is no joke



As long as cacs or non-backs in general keep being apart of our conversations, we won't be able to focus as a group to accomplish anything exclusive and sustainable

look at this initially positive thread turned negative

some posters in here need to look in a mirror and ask yourself why Africa inspires so much hate from you

My barber for the past year is from Ghana.. He tells me horror stories about that place and how he;s glad he left

People die in the street because of lack of healthcare

Corrupt politicians

Lack of clean water

and according to him people treat dogs here better then the government treats citizens..

I think we could go there and help modernize there nation

but as far as them helping us? Not according to my multiple sources

An african American "modernize" Ghana lol

i'm one of those people from the hausa-speaking North. Most people assume I'm from Northern Nigeria or Niger when I'm speaking it to my fam or friends. I prove them wrong by switching up to Twi or Ewe(neither languages spoken in those countries)

People forget languages can migrate across country borders overtime, even a small leak can lead to a growing population.

That's mad interesting fam, sometimes I forget prior to the berlin conference and borders were drawn nothing stopped populations from migrating. Ghana and Nigeria are in such a close proximity to each other it only makes sense, im igbo Nigerian and my dad speaks hausa as well.

ITT

Jamaicans, Cacs and Africans discussing what AAs should do while their countries are failed states

Calls african countries failed states when most have some of the fastest growing economies. Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, Kenya and south Africa are all 2nd world countries and Nigeria and south africa are part of the next 11 (look it up).

Be delusional brehs

Last I remember racists whites usually utter terms such as, "go back to Africa." A mass migration of American blacks is exactly what white supremacist would like.

He's an Igbo and knows Hausa? Where in Nigeria is he from?

 

[Bawon Samedi]

And yeah Nigeria or Ethiopia are not what I would call, "failed states". Somalia? Yeah.

This. Ignorance of AAs can be a problem in Africa as vice versa here thanks to the media.

Only the educated will look beyond this BS.

Let's say that's true. What does that tell you? That they don't want you here and will do everything in their power to keep you under their heel while you are here. So...?

He's igbo but he grew up in the north and spoke fluent hausa even tho both his parents are igbo. You would have thought he was hausa.just pointing out how similar most west africans are.
