I stayed in Ghana for 2 years as a blk American. Many of the ppl were very kind but I also encountered an equal amount of rude, pretentious ppl who made stereotypical assumptions about who I was based on my ethnicity and phenotype. A mix of good and bad ppl, like anywhere else on Earth ❤
We will always be Africans brother! There is no us vs them....WE ARE ONE AFRICAN PEOPLE. We must always remember who erased us from our African identities! We didn't do it to ourselves and therefore we should never allow ourselves to be any less African than any other person of Africa descent whether we were born in America or anywhere else. Phenotypical origin does not changed based on soil.
No your not. And we are not one. I am african and notice you Black americans pick and choose when yyou want to associate yourselves with us. When its us in a positive light, then its yall saying we're one cuz it benefits you all.
African Americans reach out to Africa for what they should be getting from America. Many Africans want to live in the US and the moment they arrive they start to thrive. Nigerians are the most educated migrants, even outperforming Asians. That's right. Even outperforming Asians. So why are African Americans as a group getting left behind by migrants? Because most migrants come from strong families and communities and are united in their sense of values. They are not part of the dark history of America and they are not weighed down by the psychic baggage. What is my point? America owes African Americans a massive debt of gratitude. It's value is enough to uplift every African American to a place of honour and dignity. Unfortunately, now that it's time to collect on that debt, the solidarity of African American communities has been ruined by social diseases such as Neo-Feminism and Gangsterism. The family and community structures that give weight to a common cause - the shared sense of values - all this is almost non-existent today. On the other hand, the migrants are coming with strong families and communities and creating wealth in America. Soon their voting power will outweigh the African American vote. When that happens the politicians will stop listening and caring. African American celebrities can see this day coming and are throwing you all under the bus for their own personal progress.
Are you serious? Yes, African or Asian people may not face the same battles with white supremacy within American systems as African Americans do, and in that sense, we are in a unique “Matrix” system. We Foundational Black Americans (FBA) know we been targeted by white supremacy since the Reconstruction era, but yet we still remain some of the most successful Black people in the world. We’re a cultural superpower- Michael Jai White is starting to see this now after gaining exposure to different countries. Not every African American fully grasps this, but the FBA community does, and change is coming. While Nigerians, for example, are excelling in certain areas, African Americans (FBA) are thriving across many fields. We have more than just celebrities; our influence extends across diverse industries, from space exploration, science to computing etc. Take Mark E. Dean, an African American inventor and computer engineer, who co-created the IBM personal computer in 1981, developed the ISA bus, and led the design of the one-gigahertz computer processor chip. He holds three of the nine patents behind the original IBM PC. Did you know this? So many untold stories like this. From 1900 through the Civil Rights Movement, the world has witnessed the horrific acts committed against African Americans, crimes against humanity including murder, enslavement, torture, and persecution. The International Criminal Court defines these as “widespread or systematic attacks” directed against a people-and in our case, even U.S. law enforcement was complicit. This is why the Civil Rights Movement began, but as African Americans rise, new obstacles have been placed a new playbook was put in-place for the last 70 years. 1. New designer drugs every decades introduction into our communities, 2. Guns flooding our neighborhoods, 3. Economic sabotage through illegal immigrants and migration into the community, eroding generational wealth. 4. This is happening now once again. Despite this 70-year playbook against us, we’re still a cultural superpower, and more people are starting to understand this truth. The FBA community knows what’s happening, and we’re resilient. Change is on the way. **Munyumba Mutwale Applied Economist and Economic Analyst** **June 23, 2020 and 2024 update** If Black America were a country in Africa, they would be the most prosperous nation on the continent by almost every single metric, with: - A GDP PPP African Americans of $2.0 trillion($1.7 trillions) (#1), followed by (#2)South Africa ($401 billion), (#3) Nigeria ($395 billion), (#4) Egypt ($358 billion), (#5) Algeria ($239 billion) and (#6) Ethiopia $192 billion - A GDP per capita at PPP of $30,000 (#1), ahead of Seychelles ($27,572), Mauritius ($22,211), Equatorial Guinea ($20,360), and Botswana ($17,630) - The 4th lowest poverty rate of 17%, surpassed only by Seychelles, Mauritius, and Cape Verde - The most educated population with 85% high school completion, followed by Egypt (67%) and South Africa (64%) - The highest college graduate rate with 25% degree holders - The most access to healthcare with 80% insured - The 2nd most banked nation at 84%, only behind Mauritius at 85% - The 2nd highest life expectancy at 74.8 years, second only to Algeria with 77 years - The lowest death rate at 0.7 per 1,000, outperforming Rwanda, Algeria, Morocco, and Kenya, which all average around 5 deaths per 1,000 - The highest homeownership rate at 45% - The largest employer base (9%) with 2.6 million businesses - The highest employment rate with 67% of the adult population formally employed, followed by Lesotho (43%), Mauritius (42%), and Botswana (41%) - The highest percentage of dollar millionaires at 1%, followed by Seychelles (0.4%), Mauritius (0.3%), and Botswana (0.1%) - The highest wealth per adult at $35,000, compared to an African average of $200 per adult in wealth This is not including what African Americans do for other countries, such as playing at sellout concerts around the world for the last 40+ years.

@@Bencarson_1 I'm not saying anything new. Neo-Feminism and Gangsterism or a criminal mindset are destroying the fabric of African American families and communities. The leaders aka celebrities - because there are hardly any real leaders - have sold out to the political mainstream or to the forces of exploitation. There's hardly an African American celebrity that doesn't own or front a liquor brand or a fast food franchise. Individually some African Americans have always been and will continue to be exceptional. That's not my issue. I'm talking about the entire demographic.
Africa's government should engage African Americans to invest in Africa. They should encourage them to be part of the solution for Africa. Africa needs them.
Salaam The DNA connection between ancient Kmt (Egypt), West Africa and African Americans is deep! We know now the Kemetic DNA genomes rest in West Africans. who turn enslaved and sent the Americas. African American in particular are ancient Kemetic people. We have a deep connection with West Africa and it is felt when arriving on the continent. More so than in North Africa.

@eastafrika728 I never said it was a Black American brand I said it was made popular by them they were the forced that save that brand that was falling apart in the 1980's and their turn around came with one name Jordan.

Could you share your experiences
I would like to interview you to share your experience. What do you think ? ☺️👌
That's one thing about Ghanaians that I really like. Most of them are calm and seem very reserved
