Year of Return: The African Americans moving to Ghana - BBC Africa
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- 1619 marks the year of the first documented arrival of enslaved Africans in what’s today the United States of America. The West African country of Ghana - which was a major hub during the transatlantic slave trade - declared 2019 the year of return and is encouraging the African diaspora to visit the country. According to the country’s tourism board from January to June this year, there was a 20 per cent increase in the number of Americans visiting the country and an 11 per cent increase in visitors from the UK. But some young African Americans have decided to return for good.

Except she's an American women in Africa, they'll see her as a rich foreigner. There's no "euro Americans" or "afro Americans" but there's tribes which is worse.
She expressed pleasure at being in the majority in Ghana. Can she understand how many white Americans might feel that way?

The Most Interesting Man On RUclips cuz they dont have the knowledge of self dependence. People like us can take Our knowledge frm the shithole of america n apply there n teach those wit little to no knowledge of how to survive in the world today
Side note one day someone will go to Africa n take out ALL western media outlets frm tv/radio and make it jus African based media outlet. Reason why people leave Africa is because they are being influenced by the media that america and the western world is so grate not knowing when they reach those lands it will be the opposite
"Uprooted"? We were sold for guns (muskets), textiles, and alcohol.

@@SilentMovements305 good. f**k the media.
I lived in Accra for six years in the late nineties - it was a quiet, peaceful place and the people were so friendly and peace loving. God bless Ghana!
Peacehapp - Accra quiet? Really? That has not been my experience. While there are fairly peaceful areas in the Cantamounts (U.S. Embassy area) East Legon & Osu, they are indeed the exception. Lapaz is noisy as hell; the traffic is loud, congested; pedestrians don’t have the right of way here, motorists do, at least that is what’s practiced. It’s quite frustrating and stressful. Just my experience. When I want peace, as I did on 9 May, I go to Cape Coast/Elmina. I absolutely love it. I could sit on the coastline of Elmina and watch and listen to the waves 24/7. I’m an African American, currently stranded (happily) in Accra, Ghana. I have been here for over four months now.
@@MrOu83 Have you figured out yet that all of those slave castles were constructed by the Portuguese?
@Edit Name It has been implied that the U.S. was responsible for all of this. 10x as many kidnapped West Africans were sold into slavery in Brazil compared to the United States. What about their right of return? What about the crimes of the Spanish and Portuguese empires??
@@janetmcarthur5257 What about the Congolese? They made a FORTUNE on raiding African towns and settlements and sold them to the Portugese.
I like what she said. In Ghana she is a woman and mot a black woman. As a Togolese that moved to the US it was different to understand the color difference.
Hey oreo...don't make excuses, just say that you have issues with identifying as black. Ancient Egypt is located in Africa and they had no problem with claiming black. They were actually proud of it.
@@Yahawadah70ad what would you say if you see white woman claiming europe is for white we would have said "racist bitch"isnt then it applies both .
@Jahiz Harith you are confused you didn't get it
I'm Togolese too but I was born in America
@Jahiz Harith European built south africa. Just like Europeans built America. 🤔
I'm proud to be a Ghanaian!!
Emmanuel Kwesi Mensah I’m proud to be American!!
Same!
I’m a Ghanaian also and am based in America now, let us be honest here. I’m not proud to be Ghanaian because the same Ghanaians are the once who sold our own brothers and sisters to the slave masters for their own benefit. I’m rather proud of those Americans visiting to know their backgrounds. They have really done well.
@@hasbunallahwanimalwakeel3576 well, we wouldn't be seated here talking about this if some people hadn't done this in time past. There was a price to pay, and no matter how awkward it seemed, they did pay it. All black people living in America freely today are benefitting from such sacrifice. Everything happens for a reason.
@@4oreignBeauti that's more of it
"I have a culture, I have a people...I belong" wow
Will u visit Ghana?
@?? Fuck off. She can do what she wants. She does belong

That doesn’t mean she can’t integrate, if she makes the effort.
I have never been outside of the United States. In fact, it is rare for me to venture outside of Illinois. Five of my siblings, plus many other relatives live here in the same city. It would be terrifying for me to leave the comfort of home and family to go to a totally unfamiliar area where I would not know anyone. Ghana sounds like a wonderful place to visit, but there is no place like home.
Asa Faust you make very good sense. Some of the people in this video is bizarre. American Blacks are Not from Africa. How do you go back to a place you have Never been? This video is all sorts of weird, people crying in dungeons. This is appalling on so many levels. The infrastructure there looked like it’s out dated and alas dilapidated. America is home and I personally will Never leave her.
Ghana is one of the most beautiful places iv ever been & the vibe there is one of a kind

As an African American, I’ve been waiting for this day to come . The day we began to understand that we are not alone in the world. That we have family, resources, land, and a history beyond America. I thank god for the spiritual awakening of Africans in the diaspora. Let’s go home 🗣♥️🖤💚
Anae O'Neal Not sure what your plans are but PLEASE GO! It’s sooooo cheap there you will spend much in Ghana Cedi but it only feels like spending a few US dollars. The Ghana Cedi is only $0.18 for every US Dollar. Most everyone speaks English. However, learning Twi is also highly encouraged.
They love Americans and listen to a lot of American music.
Honestly, they are waaaaayyyy more hospitable than Americans.
I am a white guy and they even thought I was a light skinned Ghana native from Kumasi...lol 😂
Well, it’s because they were impressed with how well I was able to pick up the basics of the local language Twi.
My now girlfriend is a Fante/Ashanti mix and she has helped me learn some of the words.
But yes, please go to Ghana. Immerse yourself in the culture and stay as long as you can. The people are just way too good here.
Oh...by the way, you might pick up a bad habit as I did. Everyone here says “Ooohhh...Ok!” Like whether they agree, disagree or don’t even understand! It’s hilarious! I found myself saying it. And you might too. Pay close attention.
Well, I wish you the best. Hardest part is saving for the trip, getting your visa and the yellow fever shot. Once you do that, you are golden!
Naima Kumi I agree. But when I say I’m African, some continental Africans here in America get upset. I FULLY understand that I am African. But I’m culturally African American. Trust me, i am proud of our ancestors, I am proud of the beauty our ancestral land posses, and I am proud of the people we are. We are the salt of the world. Much love 💜
Patrick Neavin I am saving up to go to Ghana later this year. Thanks for the advise !
Naima Kumi my ancestors are African. But we can not disregard the fact that I am CULTURALLY(not racially) American. And that’s ok. That doesn’t make me any less proud of my africanness. Culturally I am different from a continental African. Just like culturally Nigerians are different from Ghanaians and Ghanaians are different from Kenyans and Kenyans are different from South Africans and South Africans are different from Trinidadians, etc. but we’re all African. Me calling myself African American is just to draw a distinction between history and culture. That’s it. YES we are all African. I’ve already said that and I’ve deeply expressed how proud I am to be African. I can be proud of being African while ALSO being proud of the culture black people have made for themselves here in America. One is not greater than the other. And me calling myself African American doesn’t make me any less proud of my lineage.
@Naima Kumi Imagine how the ancestors feel about what Africans are doing to their own people today and since.
Peace and blessings to all Africans around the world much love from the state's .

@@liisolitimante2096 We expect you to spread across the continent not only Ghana. Africa is in its industrialization age and a lot of profit is to be made. More white people want to open more businesses here. We don't want that. So we are making way for your people first. So don't come here seeking jobs, create your business here
whadaya mean!!??? MY PEOPLE?!,!
I am from Indian diaspora, my great grandparents were enslaved after african slavery ended and the westerns packed it into "modern slavery". I always encourage people to discover their roots. We did not choose to be born in different countries. These choices were made by others benefitting from it which forever sealed my ancestors destiny. I wish for the African diaspora to have a great journey discovering your roots, to feel welcome where you feel at home. And if you decide to go home, I wish you a prosperous future.
Thank you
Africa isn,t reliant on the world,but the world needs africa.
No thank you. You can have Africans. Caribbean forever!!!
@@nightslasher9384 you're ignorant.
So it's OK for blacks to be majority among black people but it's nazi for whites to be majority among white people? Next you'll say yellows can't be majority in yellow countries.
Ghana was my best vacation so far! I was there 7 weeks and I was not staying in a hotel. And I fell in love with my roots, I even cried on the way back home.
I took a friend with me on one of my trips, she cried too. She almost made me cry. Lost touch with her but heard she moved there and married

Ghana deserves to attract the best in diaspora. As a Nigerian I'm proud of the direction they're taking.
When I discovered who my ancesters were and where they came from, I felt so much joy mixed with pride! They were Yoruba (my mother is Jamaican) and I intend to go there one day!
Awww I'm Yoruba, too #Nigerian 😊
"Even the Yorubas do not know how Great of a people they are" -- My father, sometime in the 70s.
I'm yoruba too. Visit www.ekaabo.africa we specialise in helping the diaspora to settle back in Nigeria.
I’m half Jamaican, half Nigerian. If you’ve been to Jamaica- you’d love Nigeria. Both are home to me ❤️
You're welcome to come home anytime.

Ghana President's inspiring speech while Macron standing next to him was making the same point.. I feel that Africa is in the eve of some awakening..
@Billy Enzen if you dont have sth to say beautiful in your naive mind, why care to comment?? Do you have a thrust to whine?
Hopefully every African in America, Brazil, Costa Rica, Panama and Europe can all return to Africa
Words are cheap
Do actual things then speak
Yea it was I also watched it.
Actually, I as a NON-BLACK person want to see Africa flourish !
BUT for that to happen, the following prerequisites must be met:
1) The entire continent NEEDS to adopt either Christianity or Buddhism!
2) Make English the official language, rather the ONLY language that could be spoken in the entire continent!
3) Make education till undergraduate level a COMPULSORY thing !
4) BAN that rap music which glorifies vulgarity and violence, mind u I'm not at all against sex. In fact, sex-positive thinking MUST be encouraged!
ONCE all these prerequisites r met, THEN the entire African continent will become a magnet to the whole world. The FIRST thing that will happen is the tourism revenue that the continent would be able to realize will be BEYOND expectations. SECOND, the increased tourism WILL project Africa as the next hub for entrepreneurs from around the world given the potential size of the market. THIRD, the prosperity that WILL ensue will help the various African govts to focus MORE on the prerequisites being STRENGTHENED, leading to a virtual cycle of development and prosperity !
PLEASE my fellow beings of the continent, SPREAD this message !
We can't wait to host you all,welcome home🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
I visited Ghana,Africa August 2019.Absolutely loved it.Mother Africa.flew into Accra...amazing city.busy but amazing ...actually had the privilege of staying in a city called Upper West Wa.10 hour bus trip from Accra.also visited Cape Coast.and a lot of other neighboring villages ...Kumasi,Jarapa,ECT...very humbling experience.stood right there in the dungeon where our ancestors were held captive for long periods of time.planning on going back 2020.you will not return the same.Greetings Africa.God bless you all
December is going to be lit in Ghana🇬🇭.... Afro Nation baaaaaaby✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾
Danyle Sparx You will love it ! I visited in September and I fell in love with the culture and people . I felt like I was home 💜
Imagine africa becoming rich due to all of the young people coming to africa 😍😍
Africa is already one of the wealthiest continents in the world
@Jim Hope There are a lot of wealthy people in Africa, more than you can imagine. And if you are saying this based on the things the media has fed you, therefore you think Africa is just made up of poor and dirty kids, you just need to gain some knowledge about the Continent. Of course, just like every other Continent Africa has its rich and poor societies but I can tell you for a fact that a good sum of countries in Africa have a very good percentage of people who are living as middle classed citizens( which means they are wealthy enough to live a very good and comfortable lifestyle.)
@Jim Hope Thanks for the good wishes although you are racist.
I also feel you have never been to Africa, therefore you think this way. I really have no time to educate you on why so many black people are in the west so I suggest you gain some knowledge and do some research cuz some people are going to see your comment and just laugh at it and conclude you are ignorant
@Jim Hope lol OK Im tired of going back on forth with you anyways. Also what you said is true, people's opinions on Africa isn't going to change facts about the Continent. Just so you know the only reason I replied to your first comment was because it blatantly showed you are misinformed about the world outside yours but its OK because I might know a lot about my country and my history and have no idea about America for instance. Anyways thanks for your time, God bless.
Africa is already rich,just corruption

Go ahead. Make the move!
In the U.S. I'm a Black woman. In Ghana I'm a Woman.
I am neither black, nor am I a woman, but those words hit me deep. As many of my fellow Asian brothers have found out upon, visiting their ancestral home countries in Asia: WOW! Back home I'm an Asian guy. But here I'm just a guy! It's an amazing feeling to be in a neutral situation, as opposed to always having to start from a position of having to prove that you deserve your place.

Visalakshi Mahadevan my ancestor was one. You are wrong on MANY accounts
*Arabs made africans walk through the sahara desert witch resulted in millions of deaths throughout the centuries*
I know many will say ''Well, what about the Trans Atlantic Slave Tade that lasted for 400 yrs (while the *Arab slave trade lasted 1300* yrs pre islam and accellerated during islam)'' The U.S. and western european countries abolished savery in the mid 1800s, granted their former african slaves citizenships and eventually apologized for the horrors that took place for 4 centuries AND eventually gave their african citizens entire month of february celebrate their african roots and history. Arabs in the other hand criminilized slavery in the 1960s and it was due to the pressure from the brittish and the french
*Arabs killed approx 120mil Africans in the name of Jihad*

Not a surprise that, with more and more returning, there's no mention on mainstream media.
Surprising isn't it
Manny Sabir I’m trying to tell every black person I know
No it’s not surprising really....the projected and promoted view of the African continent in the west, is one of poverty, famine, wars, corruption, and incompetent governments. The really sad part is that there are even black people in the west who believe this. I live in the U.K. I am of Caribbean heritage, but a large part of my family by marriage is Ghanaian. I have been to Ghana several times, and I cannot emphasise enough the feeling of belonging you have when you go there, as mentioned in the video you are not a black woman/man you are just a man. It sounds trivial, and many people will not fully understand it until they experience it for themselves. Everyone should go back, at least once in their lives...it may sound like a cliche, but I honestly don’t think I fully understood who I was until I made that journey.
@@rufdymond AMEN FAMILY
Manny Sabir I hope it doesn’t get to mainstream. Because than certain people would want to live and take over Ghana.
I just read an article about how all the locals hate the Americans and was absolutely laughing. If you think somehow you are "coming home" just because you have roots from a place you have no idea what culture and identity actually means. Just because a guy name O'Brien goes to Ireland it doesn't mean he's "coming home". I mean if you want to immigrate fine but be realistic about the fact you are a foreigner moving to a country that unlike America is not designed to accept immigrants.
Most countries aren't as racist as America.
In the meantime those who live in Africa are dying to leave Africa for US n Europe!!! They even sell their own dignity as human beings for anything just to get out there! God forgive us!
What’s missing in Africa is the people that have the knowledge to fix the economy there. That’s why you have Africans leaving Africa. And not all of them want to leave their home
Hollywood gives the African person the vibe that America is the best place to leave. That is also a contributing factor. But yes, our leaders also must stop their chronic greedy behavior.
They are brainwashed. They think Amerikkka/Europe is a “dance on roses” but they will quickly be remembered.
Fr. Andrew Werunga, flp Exactly. It’s sad that some Africans are selling their souls for materialistic things & make believe dreams.. I’m African American & I can’t wait to travel throughout Mama Africa ❤️ Maybe live in a country somewhere.
Those who are leaving Africa to come abroad do not know the realities of living out of Africa, but if they do know, they will not even attempt to leave Africa

@Knowledge I I've never seen someone from another race say "When you and your family finally get out of the Trailer Parks, you have to go back and fix up the Trailer Parks." Forget that place! It was inhumane to be there in the first place. Yes, you can help the others that live there, but you help them by helping them get out of there. We don't need to fix the scraps we were given. We need to leave and build anew. Thrive, don't just Survive!
