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

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.

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.
