Africa Calls African-Americans To Return to Their Original Home in Africa


Africa Calls African-Americans To Return to Their Original Home in Africa

By Julio Severo
As a wave of black supremacism is sweeping the United States, with black militants using any real or perceived injustice to loot, destroy, rape and kill, a nation in Africa is offering a solution that could appease them: To live in a nation dominated by blacks.
Crowded streets of Accra, Ghana
Taking advantage of the tensions provoked by black supremacism boiling over in the United States, Ghana is encouraging African-Americans to abandon the U.S. to return to their original home — Africa.
The plea is a continuation of Ghana’s “Year of Return” initiative, which officially was launched in September 2018. At the launch, Ghana’s president, Nana Akufo-Addo, praised African-Americans, asking Americans with African descent to consider a return to Africa.
The year 2019 was chosen because it marked 400 years since the first African slaves arrived in the then-English colony of Virginia in 1619.
“We know of the extraordinary achievements and contributions they [Africans in the diaspora] made to the lives of the Americans, and it is important that this symbolic year — 400 years later — we commemorate their existence and their sacrifices,” Akufo-Addo declared, as reported by Africa Renewal, a magazine published by the United Nations.
On June 5, the Ghanaian Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Barbara Oteng-Gyasi, echoed the Akufo-Addo words, citing the death of George Floyd, a black drug-addict in Minneapolis who died after resisting the police. His death set off a series of violent riots orchestrated by the Marxist organization Black Lives Matter across the United States.
Oteng-Gyasi cited Floyd’s death as a reason why African-Americans should return to Africa.
“We continue to open our arms and invite all our brothers and sisters home. Ghana is your home. Africa is your home. We have our arms wide open ready to welcome you home. Please take advantage, come home build a life in Ghana. You do not have to stay where you are not wanted forever. You have a choice and Africa is waiting for you,” Oteng-Gyasi said, according to The Independent Ghana, a Ghanaian news outlet.
The reality is that blacks brought as slaves from Africa were not stolen away from their homes by Europeans. They were chained up and sold by fellow Africans. They were already slaves in Africa. If they had never been sent to work in America, they would remain slaves in Africa. In America, their descendants received what descendants of slaves in Africa never got.
The idea of white European slave-traders chasing down and capturing innocent native Africans — an image popularized by Marxist propaganda and black supremacists — is a total farce.
Unlike European settlers, who went to America to live and colonize, Africans were taken only to work, and they received no worse treatment than African slaves received from blacks who owned slaves in Africa. The idea that a worker or slave is entitled to everything from the owner is so ridiculous that if a African millionaire has ten Asian employees (or semi-slaves or even slaves, as this is not uncommon in Africa) and those employees demand all of their owner’s properties, the millionaire will laugh at them.
If African-Americans believe that by returning to Africa they are abandoning the dark history of slavery and oppression, they are sadly mistaken. Historically, blacks always enslaved blacks. Africans always enslaved Africans. In many parts of Africa, slavery still exists: Negro enslaving Negro.
