I don't think there should be a mass exodus to Africa. That being said, I do feel that if African Americans can they should attempt to visit Africa at one point in their lifetime. African Americans have unfinished business in America...

At the bold: don't worry about that. It's not gonna happen in our lifetime.

Keep in mind that in the article, Ghana has only 3,000 AAs AND Caribbean people living there. Most small cities in the US don't even have that small of a population.

The irony is white people visit Africa far more than black folks do. Hell the Chinese are setting up shop there, and they literally have little to no ties to most of these countries.
Oh for sure. Crazy isn't it. Wonder why they keep going back; yet so many African-Americans refuse to even step foot over there.

1. Yes
2. Ghana
3. Plans for?
4. I have
5. Yes
6. Yes. Good ones too that hopefully can be a springboard to more people coming. Stay tuned.
7. Yes
8. Grassroots rebuild. Stay local. Stay tuned.

So then your the exception to people who never been to an African country, since you actually been to an African country. So why should people who don't want to relocate to Africa suspected to be white? I mean they have no experience with Africa.

Funny enough, a lot of Latin americans relocate to Spain for quite a bit. Some of them stay there too.

Migrating to a different country is nothing new, don't know why people are trippin.

Its because America is the greatest country on the planet, especially for black folk :troll:

@Roddy Right gave it a quick read, its looks quite sound to be honest, one thing is though they missed out tons of groups in Ghana, northerners for example, Ga and Akan are only a few tbh. But of course they couldn't analyse every single group. I'd be interested to know which specific groups they looked at, Akan is like an umbrella term, the Ashanti people and Fanti people are both Akan but have some differences (In language mainly), I'm assuming there's little difference between sub groups in the Akan group, seeing as they bundled each of them together.

To look at Fante people and their admixtures etc, wouldn't a study comparing their genetic structure specifically to Dutch and British people be more apt? To see if there was any shared genetic information that highlighted any mixing?

If anything, I think you'd have similar results if you looked at some northern Ghanaian groups, because they migrated from Nigeria and from the north I think. Hence why some people speak hausa in north Ghana.


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:lolbron:(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.

Visiting is a start. I would encourage people to do that before wanting to move ANYWHERE. Not sure what your point is.

And anyone who kills the idea of relocating and hasn't even been there yet refuses to entertain it, needs to be questioned.

It's one thing if they just prefer staying wherever they are, or have been to Ghana (or Africa in general) and rather not make the move.

It's another to immediately shut down the idea due to strange reasons given by those who never even set foot in the continent and don't even plan on doing so anytime soon.

The coli told me Africans don't like African Americans....I'm guessing that might be why :lupe:


not true. But there are some bias of certain people there. But we are welcoming of AAs.

You better be a soccer fan if you plan to live there tho.
