How many yall ready, or even consider making that move?

And go where? Where is 40 Million ppl gonna go?

FYI, Africa is the big continent. Europe is the small one. We COULD just go back to Africa. There are, what, 150 countries there, and I am pretty sure Ghana invited us all back years ago, and Zimbabwe I hear is asking white people to gtfo.

We need to give up on reparations (reparations were already paid, we were NOT on the list) and we need to focus on REPATRIATION.

Seriously, I plan on having SONS and lemme tell ya, black boys don’t do so hot here in America trying to play the Eurocentric’s games….

Homey Going to Africa isn’t going to solve White Suppremecy. The average Ghanians don’t want 40 Million more ppl to occupy there land taking jobs. People in Zimbabwe ain’t asking for 40 million foreigners who don’t know the language and the culture to occupy there land. We ain’t from Zimbabwe or Ghana. We are almost 300 years removed from Africa at this point. 

Like when/if we were to go to Africa how would we even build wealth? We will be immigrant and would either have to take on low wage jobs or illegal activity like selling drugs. At that point we might as well stay in America at that point

a decision like mass exodus from america would have to be a decision come to by both african americans here and whatever other country or continent we would relocate to (beit africa or otherwise). the above is correct. we are 300+ years removed from africa and are highly americanized. HIGHLY americanized. that’s a whole different culture over there and, like any other human being on earth regardless of race, if millions of people just came into their continent or country, they would get territorial and things would get ugly. there might even be shouts of “go back to your country” and ish like that which would be comical and sad.

however the idea of leaving america for a better place and situation period is something i have thought a lot about but it’s not at all simple. i can even see a scenario where the united states work to levy sanctions against a country or continent that would work with us to make that happen because the modern slavery of african americans and blacks are a big part of the us economy. from the discriminatory low wages for high productivity all the way to the industrial prison system, america makes serious cake off of the systematic oppression of blacks and they are not going to just let all that money literally fly away.

This needs to be a serious conversation among all black people.

This is deep…

Hmmmmm.

I made a post about this. Pay us what you owe and we’d be glad to leave this bitch and go elsewhere.

Why would we leave a country out ancestors built empty handed?

There’s a real conversation to be had about this because I’ve thought about this countless times

There is no place for us. Plain and simple. We are the orphans of the world and that isn’t changing.

“We can go back to Africa.” Didn’t y’all learn shit from the European invasion of the Americas? What are we going to do, just take over somebody else’s land?

^^^^ They do not want us over there anyway. They not gonna welcome us with open arms.

also what about those of us who are biracial?

am I supposed to just leave my mom and run off to africa with my dad?

or rip off half my body and leave half with my mom and half in africa?!

Also we are poor as shit, we can’t just hop a plane and leave, that shit’s expensive!

I was born and raised in america, as well as my parents, this IS my home!

I’m not gonna just give up and leave, especially since america don’t belong to white people neither, because it belongs to the native americans.

If we really wanna talk about who owns what country and who should leave, I think we would all have to go, whites included because white people love to forget that their parents probably came from europe and that’d mean they don’t belong here either, no one does except the natives and the mexicans that had the south west.

also how’s africa with lgbt people?

I’m bisexual, am I going to be killed just for that or something??

how are they with mentally ill people?

I know literally nothing of africa, so it’s not even a viable choice to me.

You can stay here
