What won't happen?
The overwhelmingly majority of AAs are staying right here in America. Find some other causes to take up, especially if you are not AA but preaching resettling to us.

Lol, I have made it abundantly clear that most AAs aren't going anywhere, I even said so on this very thread. All I hope is that at least a good amount of AAs and caribbeans visit a country.
And again, what is your stance / thoughts on the OP?
Libya could possibly be worse than Somalia right now. Not only does it have two rival governments in two rival capitals, but it also has Islamic extremists kidnapping and smuggling people.
My comments in general are meant for OP, not you, who might mean well but is uneducated, gives bad information/advice and is fixated on a group of people he is not a part of.
Good article. This article won't change most AA/Islanders perception on the mother land..
EDIT- Interesting...

Take your African American ass to Ghana to "resettle" on land that the locals work hard all their lives for and have dreams of one day buying (only to watch it go to some Americans) and think youll be welcomed with open arms, brehs. No thanks
Detroit Ex-Pat and Activist Killed in Ghana
Mamelena Diop (born Jeannette Salters), who was part of a movement of Detroit residents who wanted to reclaim their ancestral roots, was found dead along with her sister, Nzinga Janna.
Mamelena Diop, born Jeannette Salters, was a Detroit activist in the 1970s who eventually moved to Ghana as part of her exploration of her roots.
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that she was killed in that West African country. Her body, along with that of her sister, Nzinga Janna, was found last week near their home.
It is believed that the double killings may have been the result of an argument over land.
Diop, 75, who was active in black nationalist and feminist movements, helped lead the Detroit chapter of the National Black Feminist Organization, the Free Press notes.
Her activism ultimately prompted her to uncover her West African heritage, and she eventually moved to Ghana and changed her name as part of a movement by Detroit residents who went about reclaiming their roots, according to the news site.
"I feel terrible about what happened," Greg Salters, her son, said. "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, who is also from Detroit, believes that individuals who wanted the land that his mother legally obtained from the Ghanaian government murdered the two sisters.
"Some locals decided they wanted to take the land from them," he said. He said his mother took the issue to court and won."I guess the locals decided they were going to take matters into their own hands," the son said. "And they decided to abduct and murder them."
Two men have been arrested in connection with the deaths, the Free Press reports.
According to her son, Diop, who was a dual citizen of the U.S. and Ghana, frequently traveled back and forth between Detroit and Ghana.
During her last visit to the U.S. two years ago, she was in Detroit to attend a relative's funeral.
Diop's daughter Cheryl Salters said, "She loved Africa. The people were nice."

I'd rather try Nigeria; here in Houston there is a large Nigerian population and I've had many interactions. In fact one of my most helpful professors and one of the main grocery stores I shop at are Nigerian.
