This might be a sign of increasing K:
They have come from the big cities of San Francisco, Chicago, and New York. Thousands of them. And many refuse to return.
A new wave of African Americans is escaping the incessant racism and prejudice in the United States. From Senegal and Ghana to The Gambia, communities are emerging in defiance of conventional wisdom that Africa is a continent everyone is trying to leave…
She says she moved, because despite her education and experience, she was always made to feel like a second-class citizen. Moving was an opportunity to fulfil her potential and avoid being targeted by racial violence.
She told Al Jazeera her story:
On life as a second-class citizen in the US…
“I grew up in Philadelphia and then New York. I went to Howard, which is a historically black university. I tell people that Ghana is like Howard in real life. It felt like a microcosm of the world. At university, they tell us the world isn’t black, but there are places where this is the real world. Howard prepares you for a world where black people are in charge, which is a completely different experience compared to people who have gone to predominantly white universities…”
“In my documentary, I chose five people that I’ve met since I’ve been here and every one of them went to a black college in the US. It’s something that prepares you mentally to realise you aren’t a second-class citizen. Something like that can help you make a transition to live in Africa.
Studies have found that children naturally prefer the presence of other members of their own race. I suspect the presence of people who look substantially different from one’s own family is mildly triggering of the amygdala, due to the novelty. In times of plenty, the amygdala may barely notice while it is deadened on dopamine. But let times become more triggering, and set the amygdala in a higher state of baseline agitation, and all these old instincts suddenly emerge.
Shortage and the angst of approaching Apocalypse may be playing a role here. But I have a suspicion that the blacks who are most triggered now, and most prone to move out to Africa will be Hillary Clinton-supporting, leftist-democrat blacks.
With this God Emperor, the winning never stops.
Tell everyone about r/K Theory, because everything points to an Apocalypse
I wonder if that is indeed what we’re seeing. Black Americans have never been the sort of simply give up their citizenship. Even Liberians with US ties did what they could to maintain those ties.
I live in Japan and when I return to the US, hearing English spoken feels like relaxing back into an easy chair.
I assume Ghana is one of the higher GDP earning countries in Africa? Even in “Donald Trump’s America” I have a hard time believing someone would voluntarily go into a war zone to escape that.
These people are extreme outliers. The article also highlights the fictional universe black people in America live in, where they imagine they are second class citizens and they are under imminent threat of execution by rogue cops every minute of the day.
Not a word about why black communities are filled with such violence and dysfunction, just victim narrative 24/7.
Also no word about the comical levels of corruption and incompetence in Africa. If she thinks cops are bad in the U.S., wait until she gets a taste of the blatant and open police corruption in Africa.
Most blacks in America have no intention of going back to Africa. I think they would be better off, psychologically and emotionally, if they repatriated, but they instinctively know what that would encompass.
Repatriation would entail dropping the deeply rooted victim mentality that black people in the U.S. wallow in. It’s a powerful narcotic and most black people have no intention of voluntarily turning their backs on the easy hustle of life in America.
After all, there is no social welfare in Africa. It’s basically sink or swim. Black people in Africa aren’t going to cut black Americans any slack just for being black.
The emigration to Africa is just a drop in the bucket compared what immigrating from there, I’m sure.
For a lot of Black people I could see this as being a great step up. The kind of person this girl is means she has a far better education than the majority of Blacks in Africa, yes I know some are really smart, I’m talking about averages. They could do really well there and feel more relaxed among their own people. I would be very much in favor of paying Blacks to move back to Africa as part of reparations if they were the descendants of slaves. believe it would also be good for the US as we would have people in Africa that we could deal with easily and would straddle both worlds.
good luck to that woman. let’s follow up in 10 years. the grass is greener and all that.
i’ve been around US born blacks saying some very politically incorrect stuff about people from africa. and i’ve heard some very politically incorrect stuff from africans about african americans. both sides say stuff about the other with words i’ve never heard any white person even come close to saying.
“Howard prepares you for a world where black people are in charge”
Wait.. what?
The sad part for me of the article is — it’s ONLY 5,000 or so blacks who HAVE moved ‘back home.’ It’s ‘a dog walking on its hind legs’ kind of article. “Look here! Something STRANGE and wondrous!” There will be no recruitment or mad rush of blacks leaving the land of free milk-and-honey; and victim-power… And it’s the top-end of the Bell Curve who would even consider moving back — NOT the majority of those we’d be better off without!
Anyway, many blacks we could most benefit by losing are already “living amongst their own”; look at any “downtown ghetto.”
