Brian, Rukiya and Marcus don't know each other but all three have decided to leave their home in the US and move to Namibia, Tanzania and Uganda respectively.
While some African Americans recently relocated because they see Africa as a safe haven from racism, others say they moved for their children.
In 2019, a number of African Americans were inspired by the recent “Year of Return” movement initiated by Ghana, 400 years after the first Africans were brought in chains to Jamestown in the US.
Produced and edited by Njoroge Muigai.

Myself having been to or lived in certain parts of North America as ADOS where white Caucasians find themselves as being a minority to black and brown people especially here in certain parts of the United States i can see a difference in a sense want and being unwanted even though this is still America. So for a black man like myself looking and striving toward being a future expat i could see myself being more welcomed in a place like africa outside of North America wher re non-caucasians like myself would feel more welcomed.

People dont understand how high the standards of living really is in Africa. The news give you a false perspective. An African American can live fairly comfortable with their wealth in almost any country in Africa and its cheaper to set up businesses and invest in land. Its honestly a great opportunity. Theres no need to live in a country that took your ancestors as slaves and still treat you as second class citizens.

And thats what no country in the world has done in this period. no country in the world as told their citizens not to pay for electricity and rent of 6 months.

Kunte Okonji sure, it’s easy to “come home” with American money and know how. You can have a beautiful home, built to prison-like specifications, with a few modern conveniences, like a well-appointed fortress to keep the natives at bay. But, as all these people like to point out, at the very least, if anything unsavory happens to them, it might have nothing to do with their race, and for some, I guess that’s enough! And let’s not forget that it was you people, in Africa, whose forefathers rounded up and sold different African tribesmen to the white man.

This is very characteristic of white leftists who seek to be seen as the good guys (the only ones with the solution) against their white counterparts on the right. In the words of Malcolm X "that white person calling himself a liberal is the most dangerous thing in the entire western hemisphere. He is the most deceitful, he is like a fox..in the forest you can always see the wolf coming you know what he is up to..but the fox he comes as smiling..." They all have an agenda but the leftists want to be seen at the good guys with their big propaganda machines like the CNN the BBC . Never trust them

Too much bad history, corruption and suspicions for that to ever be a reality. Which is sad, because where ever I live, I genuinely want to contribute to that place.

This is great, it was prophesied that we would come back. We served our captivity, the Almighty visited us and told us to come out of her My people, Jer. 50 and 51. Now Judgement will come to that land. I understand never going back, we've been out years and we are never going back. Don't just connect back with the land, connect back with the Creator and you will experience greater peace than what you already have.

Unfortunately, when they try to live according to their cultural and religious norms, speaking their own languages, respecting the rule of law in society and the science, achieving the kinds of successes which come naturally to them, they are called racist by the black majority, and are despised and vilified for their lifestyles which are simply unattainable by the majority of Africans.

Every country is different and have their specific needs and strengths. Best thing is probably visit a few yourself, and do some more research, make friends, contacts, etc and then take it from there. There's a strong African-American community in Ghana, I think, so maybe start there. I'm a Nigerian expat in the UK and looking to move back soon, hopefully. I've got family there. If I didn't, I'd try Ghana, Tanzania, Kenya or Botswana...but that's just me! Good luck, I hope it works out for you. We all need each other. 🖤

I believe there is a change in the horizon but I pray it picks up momentum in my lifetime.
