Let’s make africa the “wakanda” and leave all the other world(s) in the dark lol
Wakanda is a reference within a fantasy film, that was also written by White men, with an agenda…
@ALIENDNA14 No one cares what you’re saying. Stay in your sunken place. Africa is the future. Stay wherever you are.. assuming AmeriKKKa.
@PanAfrican Exodus
Even though, I didn’t watch that piece of garbage movie, nevertheless, can you please explain to me, why the Black American in the movie was the villain?
@ALIENDNA14 Because white supremacy. Next question. I don’t care if you’re Black or if you’re white. You need to stay in the United Snakes of AmeriKKKa indefinitely and moreover, stop patrolling these repatriation to Africa spaces. You nor your funky negativity are wanted here. Why obsess over spaces that you don’t even belong in?
Please. Im so sick of angry minorities telling me to go back to Europe.
I just don’t want to lead America because of ownership. The US owns the US. But when you have other countries dipping in your countries resources and business, it’s not right. My hope is all African countries can be their own place, with unity together, and with the Middle East because they’re family too. These colonizers have got to go
Come home we are at home
to each his own.. me as a black man In American will never leave MY home land (God willing) this is Our land that we fought blood,sweat & tears for. to give up and throw away 400yrs of work to me just ain’t right. We are as much African as Cubans are Spanish ( Spain) you don’t see them trying to go back to Spain.. We have Diffrent culture/and are Diffrent people no matter how much you think we are not, we Are. Race Does NOT mean same people sorry.. Just like a dude from France is NOT the same like a Dude from Poland though they have the same Race. Got love for Africa✊🏾& I wish them love and prosperity and the best. African history is amazing and Africans are very inelegant people through out the ages, Hence why because of our African blood mah people here are very intelligent and creative, but Mah heart is America. And if we learned just some history we would know that We have just as much stake in this land because it is (us, American blacks) WE who built it, fought for it, died for it. (with some help from whites). So to each his own.. much love to everybody.
@Ray of Lyte Have fun with The power going out off and in, and make sure the water is Good were ever you go. Also forgot to tell you that when white tourist/people come they treat them far better.. not ma words tho, but to each is own GL wish you the best ☺
this is beautiful AS LONG AS AMERICAN ENTITLEMENT DOESN’T DISENFRANCHISE INDIGENOUS POPULATIONS. Engage with the local populations responsibly and analyze your own colonial biases. One example of how this is being done beautifully is Somalia, Black Americans are investing in Somali infrastructure. Not only for their own profit but for the communal good!
Where can I read more about the African Americans investing in Somali infrastructure? Sounds interesting!
Yes, I agree! Those moving to African countries must be careful not to perpetrate and perpetuate colonialism in the African communities they choose to live in.
I agree with the notion to go back and build Africa. It is right to do so. I also hold the view that the world is God’s therefore wherever I land as a created being of the almighty that also is mine through inheritance….with this in mind Africa is mine so is Europe America Asia etc. Land was here before us.
Come back, invest and eradicate western influence and benefits in Africa.
I bet they would beg you not to leave because they will loose Africa.
They know what it means to loose hold of Africa with its huge resources. They cannot survive it.
Tbh we don’t even want y’all 😐😐 were the same color but we’re not the same
Rap Capper I am pretty black and African but we don’t want you
@yannmergez s lying stfu im pretty black and african stfu bro u white asf
Rap Capper I highly doubt that but go off
@yannmergez s LMAOOO sure
Ray of Lyte am good
I moved to Tanzania 🇹🇿 and I love it
Congrats sis 👏🏾
welcome hom 👍
@Candice Wynter Chicago
@Candice Wynter thank u and you too!
@Soulfrica Mo whats like the biggest differences of living in Africa do you prefer rather than America?
Have they changed their surnames or do they have Senegalese fathers? I ask because their surnames are typical Senegalese and Gambian surnames.
If I want to study abroad in West or East Africa as an AA, what would be the best countries for me? Also what are the best countries in these specific areas to maybe live in permanently too? I’ve done research online, but I’d think it be great to hear from someone who lives there.
Come home family. African welcomes and appreciates you more than America.. you’ll see it when you hit the soil. If you dont identify with us, I’m not fcking talking to you!
All of the African Americans should to do the same to build their Homeland. A lot of them are claiming refugees just to get to Europe. Build Africa if you have Western values and take that to your political system.
Who’s claiming refugees to get to Europe? I’ve never heard this.
@AfroSheenQueen
You’re late. Is there TV in your country?
AfroSheenQueen He must mean continental Africans because no black Americans are claiming refugee status to go to Europe.
And those white people never do this fools
WE WARMLY WELCOME U TO KENYA 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
@Nubian Princess What do you mean.I don’t get u🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
ngl that line up was atrocious
China is literally investing billions in Africa to build modern infrastructures, facilities, and technology. Don’t believe the western propaganda that what China’s doing is “neo-colonization” because it’s not. They’re simply investing for a return on their investments like every investor does.
And let’s be real, the former European colonizers didn’t invest a dime in Africa and instead, exploited, kill, and looted millions of Africans.
The chinese might be investing a bit more but believe me they are there for the same raeson too, to loot the natural resources of africa. Their strategie is just little different than the westerns but the business is not equitable. Currently China has much more to again than the few infrastructures that you’re seing on the surfaces. China neither can’t be trusted but it’s for the africains to wake up and make sure that things are balanced and stand up for their interest.
You’re most welcome to Africa!
Africa is waiting for you and we love you all!
Inbox this man on WhatsApp (530) 331-0097 or on instagram @broderick002 he can generate money into your cashapp…He helped me with 7000..He is very legit
Indigenous people of the Americas are Asians! There are evidences that those people came from Asia 10,000 years ago which was uninhabited until they migrated where their food sources are migrating to. The first African settlers did not exist until 1619 where they were slaves. Of course, slaves do not have a choice to live freely where they would like to go. In fact, many tribes in Africa are more communal in their culture which means they wouldn’t know there was another land outside of their comfort zone. That all changed when Europeans are starting to influence those tribes in Africa and started buying or trading slaves from there to be shipped into the Americas. All blacks in the Americas are AFRICAN! AFRICA IS THEIR HOME! Stop telling them to stay here because they did not chose to be here if their ancestors were here before 1860
This is well known and understood but your logic also goes for white Americans. Native American culture needs to be preserved but the fact is European and African people also control the continent now
Love this idea but as an African, if you decide to migrate from the West to an African country, please be wary of our laws and culture. Western culture and African culture are very different, and as long as you are willing to adapt to the culture of various African countries, locals will be willing to work with you on the plans you bring…
African laws do not work for its people. They were left my British colonizers.
we have enough people here. Stay there!
They are welcomed and loved!
I guess it takes one to love one in that species
Cool.
Africa is your home. Your welcome!
Why are Africans all over twitter demonizing African Americans? Calling them “AA’s”. SMH. There’s this new trend of beginning the tweets with “Dear Black Americans”….hurtful, disappointing and embarrassing.
The whites who are saying, go back to Africa, they are the same whites coming in huge numbers to Africa; they are hypocrites!
@Grant420; You’re the idiot, read well, you stupid!
Lol aljazeera and their Muslim agenda
Wahaha …he will get that american intensions
Did they surrender their American citizenship? Not!
@Antonio Saldana did the Israeli government ask Israeli Americans to surrender their citizenship when they invited them back to Israel? WHY ARE you not asking that question?
@kay N they expressed disdain for the United States and the racial issues that they face. The racial issues are very true. When these individuals try and act like they’re doing something great or they’re actually leaving the United States for good that is where I call their bluff. the individuals immigrating to Africa are doing nothing different than other people of the world have done. All they are is American citizens living in Africa who are still utilizing the advantages again from being American citizens
@Antonio Saldana And Africans do the same thing. They migrate to the US because of lack of employment and so called opportunities. After some years, become US citizens and still keep their African citizenship. Nothing wrong with that.
@kay N no one said there’s anything wrong with keeping your original citizenship. The fact that these African Americans are trying to make it seem like they’re forever going to Africa and not acknowledging that they keep their American citizenship benefits is garbage. The only thing these African Americans are in Africa, is American citizens living in Africa. They could never withstand true African life.
@Antonio Saldana so far the ones I’ve watched on UTUBE seem to be transparent about wanting to keep their citizenship because they wish to visit RELATIVES who are still in the plantation.
Ask the blacks who depend on the US Government for survive if they would give it all up to go to Africa.
Not everyone Black needs to come to Africa. Only those who have racial pride and a desire to reconnect with their ancestral roots. Their true roots. Moreover, Saldana? Quit being obsessed with what Black people are or are not doing. All of you racist people are the same: Literally obsessed with us. If you weren’t talking about, moaning about, hemming and hawing about, Black people you would have no life.
@PanAfrican Exodus lol. The only thing black people in America are obsessed with is racism.
If i was African and i knew the history of Liberia i would be worried about African Americans coming. Just saying.
Why?
I can’t they are anti-Gay, i love me don’t want to go to jail, get beat up or die
the weird edit on her voice @2:21 (how terrible this man was?)
Welcome back our lost brothers and sister ….come out of babylon…its falling ……the sad part the devil still keep following my people who look like me
Actually these Afro Americans could actually help making Africa better than the west with their educational back ground
She looks more white than African
No, she definitely does not. That’s your own personal perception, bias, and lack of proper education coming through. In other words, stop projecting.
*Fact:* Africans are the most genetically diverse people on Earth.
*Fact:* The gene for light skin, light hair, and light eyes have existed in Africans since the beginning of time, completely unrelated to European admixture.
@PanAfrican Exodus your facts are irrelevant. She is definitely mixed race, she has white ancestors, thats why her skin has light color. As most black Americans are. But you cling on to an Africa that you don’t know about so hard that you refuse the obvious fact.
Fact: She has light skin because she is 50% white.
Mert Kocabaş — *”Because I’m wh1te and I say so.”* Those days are over so find a better way to debate with people on the internet. In any case, your logic is fundamentally flawed and full of errors. European-Americans (so called “wh1te” people) can and do have Native American, African, Asian, Arab, et cetera DNA and yet are still wh1te people. Many Southern Italians have African and so called Arab DNA and will state so themselves. Are they suddenly not European? No African country is rushing to claim Italian people. But African countries are rushing to welcome, claim, and embrace African-Americans.
There are plenty of light skinned Africans who don’t have European admixture because once again, the light skin gene has existed in Africans long before Europeans arrived on the world stage.
Unless you know the woman in this video personally, you’re just making a bunch of assumptions about her because you’re for whatever reason bothered by Black American people embracing their African heritage and returning to Africa. “Clinging onto Africa” is hardly what Black Americans are doing. They’re returning to their ancestral homelands. I can see that this bothers you deeply. Search your empty head and figure out why.
Peace.
@PanAfrican Exodus your arguments are false and irrelevant. Even Africans would consider her not “African” or black. She is definitely mixed race. Can you give me one Sub-Saharan African people who have lighter skin???
Btw I am not American, and I am not white.
African Americans are from AFRICA & the WOKE 1’s RETURN HOME 😎
If you not happy and you hate the USA and the way of living here you should leave get out….
Be quiet.
The USA was better off with mainly europeans. That needs to happen again by ripping the hart cellar act apart and bringing back 1920’s immigration.
I love Africa I cannot wait to settle there once all the white people leave can ya’ll go back to europe can ya’ll leave south and west african please 🙂
Whites: thank you guys for working for free for generations and now leaving without demanding to get paid for that. It was a pleasure doing business with you.
@Ray of Lyte cause we build Amercia so We can do what we want with america
@Ray of Lyte we blacks let white do Everything for us
@Ray of Lyte cause we gave whites Permission
@Ray of Lyte we blacks can easliy take away whites freedom but we choose not to
@Ray of Lyte cause we aren’t evil dictators who abuse there power
I want to know how can I move to Africa if anything. I know I’ma need a passport book and card. I know I’ma need money but what else? Also I have a disability which I doubt that counts in Africa so I’ma have to find me a job right away. Also learn about new herbs,roots and etc in AFRICA. I want to go somewhere where I have a chance and not be held back.
Now they have to watch out for the Asians who has the same neanderthal control and dominate DNA as caucasians. But truthfully are home is Jerusalem we are not so called Africans who are Hamites but Israelites we are. So white people stop saying we were sold into slavery by are own kind first if Hamites are different from Israelites enough said peace.
You are the people that should encourage Agricans not to sell out to the Chinese
Black american don’t go to africa. Why don’t african that live in africa that went to other countries help? Hopeful you guy don’t end up in the wrong area there. There is load of corruption and lack of food source in those places
I fault You didn’t need us blacks
Hundreds is really not that many families but great video
@Ray of Lyte Still not that much compared to 360 millions
Liberia 🤣🤣🤣
The murals are beautiful
It’s about time they go back. Even pro black leaders are encouraging their people to go back. Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
400 years before JESUS return?😢😪
You put George Floyd on there he didn’t do anything 😅😂🤣
His death showed the world what was truly happening to our brothers and sisters in the USA. He sowed a seed of revolution. More blacks are now wanting to visit Africa as an alternative, rather than fighting for equality which will never happen.
You coulda put like the black guy form the metal band sevendust he’s pretty amazing he gets along with white People extrmelu good
Hey my father is dead and I was raised with a white guy and our fathers were together and he’s not fully white but he counts himself white but both our fathers died and his cousin dated a black guy I’m kinda emotionally changed to the America’s
Yo I have a lot of good childhood memories in America even with other black people as well as whites
Clearly the internet has destroyed society
It has destroyed television business and YouTube is not more advanced than regular television it’s wrong to go on like this a television such as this but I understand it is seen as true technology when it is not
I’m going to the border where the Israelites were when they escaped egypt.
Even here in Puerto Rico a black city people stare at you
Bring investment, skills, and jobs to Africa. The continent doesn’t need unskilled laborers. The locals desperately need jobs. Africa doesn’t need weave-wearing self-haters too. You all need to start embracing and loving yourselves and grow an Afro. You can’t sell Africa’s image to the rest of the world while straightening your hair or trying to assimilate into white culture.
Are you kidding — there’s a lot of weave wearing and skin bleaching in Africa.
@Loriann Richardson I never said there wasn’t. That is the effect of colonialism on the continent. Africa doesn’t need more though.
Amazing!!!
WELCOME TO WAKANDA,LETS MAKE THIS CONTINENT POWEFUL
“Yes, please come home my children – Africa awaits you with open arms – even if you have nothing. There is more than enough resources, enough kind people and enough opportunity to live like you want and be among your people. Africa was a continent that was given to the black man…….come home – where you belong!!”
NNA S – Sure we’ll just change all of the leaders for you. Stay in America where you can cry like a baby that everything is not perfect. You would not be a benefit to Africa…..please stay where you are.
Not all African Americans are rich or educated. In fact many are very poor and uneducated.
They are “educated” in terms of African standards. They would thrive there because they would be higher caliber than the native Africans.
In Tanzania, we are not rich and we don’t have good infrastructure,but we don’t know anything about racism, there are more than 300,000 Indians,A lot of White People and Chinese but they all behave and follow the Law, if you mis behave ,we don’t care whether you are black or white, if you don’t believe ask the Director of Acacia gold mine, he was given 24 hrs to leave ,now he is in London communicates with his people through video conference. Greetings from Tanzania
I was born in Lesotho in Southern Africa and moved to the US
When l was 8 in 1969. My father went to Stanford and my aunt went to Harvard and two of my uncles were ambassadors so l just could never fit in to a country that treated Blacks as second class citizens. I was fortunate enough to have such great Black role models l never looked as America or its White people as better or as my only hope for a good life. I finally moved back to the continent and live in Lesotho and Equatorial Guinea where my friend is a very high ranking member of government. I just wish l had moved back many yrs ago. My life here is so much better, l never worry about police brutality and even though the continent has its share of issues like anywhere else, here l feel more like a regular human being than l ever felt in America. I just advise others to keep an open mind. America is not your only option, since coming here in 2017 l have been to Russia twice, Dubai, Singapore, India, Trinidad and Tobago as well as other African countries
If that’s where you feel comfortable, just go. Stop complaining about America
Yes! All blacks need to move to Africa. They have to be around their own people to feel whole.
you go where it suits you
Everyone need a home country. Asians go back to their home countries to retire
Are you still living in Senegal as of OCT 14, 2020?
Most should go back. They would probably be happier.
Helping their roots to stay afloat
YES, this is what we need to have peace
That’s why govenor Wallis said,,,Segregation today,Segregation tomorrow, well you get the idea!
Like Malcom X, they will be back.
We are Americans, and other countries do not want us, but they do want to come to the USA. Move where you want, but on both sides RESPECT the people of the country, you are working and visiting. We are killing each other like flies, so move to anywhere, and stay blessed.
i feel like African Americans can contribute a lot by being in America and africa
I Lo e this
Love it
Man I’m about to make my way home
In my country i’m not “a black man” i’m just a guy
Nice but where’s their mask
We are fighting harder to make good environments for our brothers African diasporas actually I hate white people though not all of them . anyway welcome to Tz🇹🇿🇹🇿our brothers let’s unite.
Time to go people I have started my journey hope you consider it, America is not worth it,
THE GREAT 2020 MIGRATION OF BLACKS TO AFRICA 👍👍 EXCELLENT / ITS TIME TO MOVE HOME / GO QUICKLY
The average African American will never save up enough to ever take a trip to Africa.
Hi AlJazeera, do you have an email address to reach you on?
It is better than going to prison in the USA.
good
Excellent. Please leave the West and go develop your own civilization, if you can. LOL.
Makes sense, the criminal system in the US treats them like second class citizens. Why would they wanna stay?
🌍🌍🌍
Some Aficans make money in Africa and spend it in other continents, may thunder strike you 😂
Stfu America is our Home lmao 😂 y’all Sound desperate trump fans
As a species, we all came from Africa. We lived together 2000000 or so years on the same continent evolving and developing culture and defining everything for the first time, huge strides in advancements. 4 billion years, until the past 2-3k years when someone decided, f*ck your skin color. You want to know why aliens dont visit us, because of all the advancements made in modern humans 300k year existance, we dont like eachothers skin. Compared to the discovery making tools and lighting fires we’re pathetic. We didnt deevolve because our ancestors wouldnt understand it to do something like it and thats probably insulting to them. As an evolutionary biologist I dont even know the word for that except we negatively evolved. If we had the propensity to invent racism we are already doomed
can uk citezens of Jamaican heritage invest?
Lmao Africans find such a better life in America that they don’t leave it besides the racial and financial problems
America sucks !!!!go back to africa,new movement ,many blacks have left,never to return, you should travel
1:07 why she has a manly voice?
i thin she’s a trans woman
Why should we stay when they hate us hear in America!
I like African cornrows and they’re stunning!!!!
People that live in Africa do not want Americans moving there regardless of their skin color
