Has the time come for Blacks of African ancestry to mass migrate to the old warm continent of mother Africa, This question is not a novel one, it has been put to us before, even before Marcus Moziah Garvey was even born.
Yet I know this not an easy question put before the community,centuries of blood sweat and tears, went into to building a nation that refuses to let her African citizens?? truly share in the fruits of their own labor, matter of fact the opposite is a constant, every means have been out forth to stymie their efforts, one step fwd ten steps backwards,there is a significant amount of people from within the current majority population who have real power to continue to hobble or nibble away at your progress.
I suspect even when they lose majority status things may not improve much, they will still hold tremendous power in all aspects of the social pecking order, some of us have began to fracture and seek new identities as dark-skinned nativist regardless of historical and bio-bioanthipolical facts.
But another is simply.. FEAR!! fear of the change that one may have to undertake,fear of Africa itself,usually based on ignorance and centuries of hyperbolic statements made about Africa, made by folks who meant us harm, but a lot of us has internalized.
But some will say what have Africa have to offer?? ..opportunites for one, as it stands right now, the African descendant and recently diasporean folks as a group are hands down the most skilled, but some may asked why, are Africans willing to cross a desert, risked being enslaved or drown in a leaky boat capsized in the Mediterranean in order to sweep floors and scrub toilets in Europe.
For that I can say the above represents underlying issues of corruption which complicates matters, but as these nations become more of a middle-class economy, these issues will lessen, and Africa right now is attracting everybody and their mother, who see opportunities , most of whom are actively contemptuous their African host, African descendant folks have an advantage as they are more likely to easily bond with Africans, than the average muzugus in forming parternship.
But staying in a perennially hostile environment, where a white kid can be treated to a McDonald's meal after shooting up a church filled with mostly Black women, to a white cop shooting a young black man in the back seven times while his kids ages 8-4 and 6?? But that's not even the worst part , it is the fact that, white ppl are making excuses and justifying such acts, that another white teen in the same neighborhood shot and killed two of these protesters, walked past the police with hands up, to be taken into custody the next day.
I could go on and on,I believe and wouldn't be surprised that a final solution to the Black problem is not being discussed right now, no matter which political party win.
This Country Doesn't love Us Back..
Then stop being that Simp, we have better options
Looking fwd to your thoughts.
