The Afro Latin America example is silly cause there is a lot of Black people there still. There is more Black people in say Brazil, Colombia and DR than there is in Miami or NYC or Seattle etc.

My only issue is when people go to those countries and only be around the white natives there.

Everything else about Europe though I agree with. I have no desire to go to Europe at all. People just wanna go to shop at fancy places to stunt on people and stare at a big giant clock or one giant tower. A lot of times these be the same people too with no knowledge of Black culture in America

OP..

I am just guessing, but perhaps Black people from the States like travelling to countries that have similar amenities available to them as they have at home?

Meaning, they want to go to places that have suitable transportation, restaurants, attractions and lodging with shyt like a comfy bed and bathroom?

That isn't to say that places and countries outside the ones you have mentioned don't have these things, but there are levels to it..

Then factor in that some countries require visas whereas others don't require visas and some people may not want to go through the hassle of obtaining one.

But, at the end of the day, people like to go where they want to go. Not everyone will have the desire to travel to countries that may be considered less developed, but I do think that the more people travel, the more their mind will open to go to other countries that may not be on par as the States.

Because Europe has a long established tourism industry and is easy to navigate for first time travellers.

There's also a comfort thing :yeshrug:

As a Nigerian, I can understand why my fellow AA Brother would prefer to go to Paris or London before going to Accra or Nairobi. The 1st two cities are well travelled and documented. It's an easier transition from US to France/UK than US to Ghana/Kenya.

I AM NOT saying don't travel to Paris,London,Spain, etc.. or Latin countries. However where is the balance?

How many East Indians travelling to Ghana for vacation or how many Mexicans travelling to Trinidad for vacation. Collectively we go to countries that are racist to people of color like Afro Mexicans and Afro latinos and Europe.

Every country has a tourism board that provides accommodations and with a lil open mind you can enjoy other places some spots even cheaper.


just saying.....


this is you

people are ignorant and travel to those places bc they believe all of africa is a war zone
similar to owning a luxury car it's considered a "one-up"
harder to travel to some countries in Africa, they may not have the same standard as living as western europe which is closer or similar to the U.S.

A lot these days actually. Jamaica for instance has an influx of Polish tourists since a direct air-route from Jamaica to Poland has opened up.

That is the next evolution for many African nations. Many of them are still working on basic infrastructure stuff (paving/fixing existing roads and modernizing electrical grids).

I honestly think that these DNA test results that African Americans have been getting is going to spur a boom in international travel to West Africa. I hope that business owners and tourism boards can capitalize on it.
