Roland appeared on MSNBC's The Cross Connection with host Tiffany Cross to discuss talks Blacks moving to Africa.
The host and managing editor of #RolandMartinUnfiltered explained if you do decide to move to a country in Africa, don't be the "arrogant ass American", learn the culture so you won't be looked upon as a gentrifier.

Make Africa Home Again!
Wow. I am Maya is in the comment section. Blessings, brotha.
BYE
Amen. But take the bad ones with you first.
Make Africa pay for reparations before even considering to move back!
@wodemaya we are on our way. Because of you the veil of deceit about the motherland has been lifted. Hope to see you in person on the continent one day soon.

My family and i have been preparing for this move for 2 years! We will be leaving in August 2023🥰

Bon voyage! ✌🎉🎆
I’ve been planning since 2020, we are out no later than May 2023.

I left in 2016, best thing I ever did.
I left America 14 years ago refusing to accept the disrespect of black people. I live in Rome and my husband is Sicilian. We are building a compound in Ghana for the rest of my family that is stuck in Babylon. I refused to die fighting people who have no hope of humanity.
The Babylon spirit is global not just in a certain region of the world.
@@trulyblessed5254 I've lived literally on every continent on earth. I'm from the South Bronx and have family in NY, South Carolina, LA, New Jersey, Maryland as well as Cuba and Puerto Rico. America is the MOST inhumane, RACIST, oppressive, GREEDY corporate country built on Genocidal MURDERING and SLAVERY on earth!!!! My sister couldn't even have a baby in a hospital there without her racist doctor trying to kill her and her baby. I had 4 babies in Rome and my Italian doctor seemed more like my father than my doctor. Literally coming to my house if I had the sniffles 💯 You are deluding yourself, your mass shooter, yt supemacists, homelessness, drug addicted, racist nation is exceptional for being absolutely awful 😞 I had peace the day I left America
Wow.. Just wow.
But if you and your ancestors were brought here on slave ships and you were born here, this land is your land. The numbers of the minority folk is growing we are 140,000,000 strong.
@@trulyblessed5254
America alone is the prophetic Mystery Babylon of the Bible. And if any other place has a kindred spirit it pales in comparison to this land which is under Divine Judgment.
I was born in the Caribbean so that is home for me. However whenever I step off the plane in Africa, whether it's Ghana, Benin, Kenya, I always feel like I'm really home. I refuse to go down with a sinking ship. And that is what America is.
If you are in America now, go back home and make your country better.
@@hdesquare she is from the Caribbean
@Wayne Clark that's them . People can go wherever they want
@GuyaneseDoll
Those last 2 lines there!
That's what we have to open our eyes to. Yes, our ancestors helped to build this ship, but that doesn't negate the reality that it's now sinking, and America would love to see us go down with it. Thanks for the no-expenses-paid trip on the Titanic, America, but no thanks....
You nail it right on the head 🇬🇭🇬🇭
I think the first thing is for African Americans to vacation in Africa first…it’s a beautiful feeling going home
Thanks for using African Americans instead of black. My skin is brown, so I identify as African American.
That's "black" Africa. The north doesn't feel like home IMO. Avoid Mauritania.
@@thinktank2255
Even Ethiopia have the DARK Skin BLACK, PURE Ethiopians in certain regions. Possibly you might want to coordinate your stay, limiting yourself to East Africa, the GENTRIFIED part. You do know that East Africa, ( sits on a continent dominated by BLACK SKINNED PEOPLE), have brown skin people who live in and cause war, turmoil and many still believe in and practice slavery! But good luck on that brown skinned, (CASTE SYSTEM QUEST), which have nothing to do with Black Americans. We know the CASTE, come from the French, and the Spanish, i.e. by way of the Caribbean and Latin America! We in the U.S. didn't embrace, it. We stamped it out in N.O. and other earlier Black institutions before it stuck. Don't bring that crap to Black America. You are clearly attempting to portray this as an African American trope, to designate Brown skin in Black America as somehow SUPERIOR to darker skin people in our communities. Clearly meant to negatively influence Black Americans adding another negative complexity that the Spanish and French slave masters left in Latin America and the Caribbean because none of you from the Caribbean ever called yourselves Black or African American until now! SMH at the weak minded pathetic layers that exist in your ethnic groups. We as Black Americans who fought for and created everything that any of you here have access to reject your mindset and your treachery. Africans reading your statement, shouldn't want you in either part of Africa, bringing this kind of dissention!
@@benjaminsmith2287 a flavor of WS in Mauritania. Possibly still have slavery going on.
Been there done that and when I got back American I kissed the ground. There is unrest in parts of Africa possibly all. If things go south, who you gonna call. Go and get immersed in the culture as a visitor and not a tourist. Been to Brazil to and I am so glad our slave ship took a right turn instead of heading further south.
My brother and his family moved to Africa. He said he is more than happy. When I asked him would he return to America in seconds he said NO!
Which country did he move to in Africa.
@@thinktank2255 Cairo Egypt. His only issue is driving without traffic lights.

Good for him. America is my home and just because you move to Africa does NOT eliminate your enemies.

The panelist was right.
1. Passport first
2. Visit second
3. Expand your mindset
4. Remote work 👨🏾💻 essential
yes!!!!
Yes!
You are right about remote work in Africa because Africa DOESN’T have jobs like the U.S. 👩🏽🦱🇺🇸
Expat AA w EU citizenship-FR approaching 48 mos til retirement, will make Azorean isl retirement home. learning now a second EU language. left US-NYC 20+ yrs ago was the healthy decision. You can thrive and live outside that hellhole call America.
that is what joe biden won't s that why he's trying to get so many illegal immigrants in so it will flush out black people
I believe the initial approach should be African-Americans to visit The Continent FIRST. Africa is NOT a fairy tale. Though on The Continent you may not experience racism BUT you will feel the effect of Tribalism or religious conflicts or inadequate governance or colonialism in some countries. So you may “feel good” back home BUT the realities of The Continent are NOT what’s portrayed in a Marvel Movie. Visit first, and make an informed/educated decision for yourself and your family.
Right, we would have to go and build a science based people an a new constitution based on freedom, justice and equality
Exactly they only people running around talking about we all the same are these lost baby boomers who think Africa is a country & completely ignore tribalism in those countries that are still controlled by European powers
Are white european in u.s.a publicizing themselves returning to Europe to stay?
Are white publicizing themselves returning to Europe to stay?

"History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people."
~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr
Basically in many undeveloped Countries People that are new are forced to be silent and not free because that will be considered a bad thing to be Yourself. People have to stay where their voice can be heard no matter who is uncomfortable. Especially if that is the kind of Person that you are. Most People want freedom of choice. People have to go where People are not judged for being that type of Person. Going anywhere where People are once again forced to be who the People want you to be is not freedom. It is another obstacle and barrier that starts years of long fighting for change.
Stop living in the past! MLK wrote that during a turbulent racial era in America. Today, the black man has know excuses and know one to blame for his failures. In fact, civil right participants would find this generation lazy, slothful and living in a mirage of racism. They would say that this generation seeks to be victims rather than victorious!
@@tcalip2968 If your deal breaker is a lack of free speech, then there's no country in Africa that's as good as the US. The US is one of the very few countries with actual free speech. Even in Britain they can fine you for saying stuff that offends people. Look up what happened to Piers Morgan when he called Meghan Markle a liar.
You must live under a rock? The USA holds itself up like this beacon of freedom but it's NOT. America as a quasi-type freedom of speech that as always been there but say the wrong thing and you can find yourself prison.
@@horaceward6586 You mean like how Martin Luther King or Malcolm X embraced it? That type of freedom?
I am an African American Airline Pilot. When i came out of the U.S Airforce in January 1990. I looked around & realized we are the only race without our own Airline transportation back to where we come from, the Beautiful Contenant of Africa?
I immediately filed an application, received secured financial backing & four years later with help & higher (Complaint with HQ.) intervention was approved to hold a U.S Air Carrier Certificate to operate a U.S Airline. The issuing agency was furious, because they never issued An Air Carrier Certificate to a Black ownd and operated company before in the U.S.A They immediately set out to destroy my life with false charges against me.(If we cannot stop you professionaly? We will distroy you personally) They charged me with three C.F.R 67.403 (A)(1) Administrative Actions, which means DUI/DWI. They accused me of committing fraud for not reporting their fraud against me? I have never drink a beer or had a traffic stop for the likes in my life? It has taken years to clear. Once they realize i will fight for my rights, everyone involved walked away & would not touch my case. Finally after 16 year's as i am posting, i get my case in Federal U.S. District Court in Washington DC. What i have come to realize in America is their are over 180k Airline Pilots. The industry is 98% White male? While Black people are 14% of the U.S population? We should be 26,000 of the 180,000? Instead we are only 800? In 1947 we had 942 Black Pilots? Called the Tuskegee Airman of which not even one them got a job with a US Airline? Just to give a little insight on what we are really dealing with? I want this truth be public because the closest entry points between Africa & America is Cape Verde Islands & The U.S Virgin Islands (2,700 miles apart) in the Atlantic? A short flight but Black people think we are worlds away when we are closer then we think. State of Texas in America is larger than every country in Europe? Every country in Europe has its own Airline? If we are repatriating back to Africa and we are not flying ourselves imagine the millions & billions we are losing.
Deep! You're ✊🏾you'll prevail.

if you claiming u native Indian ain’t nobody talking to y’all… go find your tribe cuz them ppl don’t fuck with y’all frfr…. the government ain’t giving y’all a reparations check or land 🙄… I’m talking about Africans born in America that don’t claim this country as their home
I’m from Saint Vincent and the grenadines but I’m currently living in NY when I meet my black brothers and sisters from Africa and African Americans I always encourage them to visit Saint Vincent and other Caribbean Islands we must connect with each other
Actually the Caribbean Islands are easier for us as Black Americans.
Thank you
Thank you for your comments
Hello there Christeen, my late father and my mother (whose still alive) were born and raised in St Vincent and the Grenadines.
I am from London
I'm from there also (not St. Vincy) and I fully agree. I only advise others to do their research to find a good fit and don't go looking for a job, create one. You are not in the USA, so there are some fields which may not exist in the Caribbean or Africa. It's best you create a solid plan to generate some income for yourself and jobs for others.

The ancestors didn't call this land home. They would have left if they had the means.
Not true.. they were offered the chance to leave.. they did not
And that why other immigrants have a place to come to for better opportunities
If you FBA/ freedmen you need to start having more pride in your ancestors here on this land instead of giving Africans the credit
@@charleeshaw7423 What about those who are not FBA, African, etc but are indigenous to the land and that also discovered that the beliefs they were taught by institutions was all a lie?! The problem is that ppl native to the land are not involved enough in the decision making because of political systems in the way and it's ppl that act upon their own authority being a spokesperson on behalf of others when nobody permitted them to.

@@trulyblessed5254 - What do you mean by "Native to the land?'

If black Americans moved to Ghana and prospered. How long would it take the United States government to declare war on Ghana?
You make a great point because history has proven that when we work together and prosper, we don’t need them and they hate it. That is when they will criminalize what we are doing and then steal what we are doing for themselves.
Because the united states' would be jealous
30 seconds after we move
Na crime would drop about 75 percent
They did the same thing in Liberia, the CIA I believe. There is no running, we stand and face the problem
The two female guest on the panel were 1st generation black Americans who moved back to their homelands. They are familiar with those cultures and most likely had family or close family friends that they relied on to assist them with the transition.
I appreciate you comment. However, not all of us identify as black. My skin is brown, so I identify as African American.
I feel like this is a point of no return and solidarity is dependent on respectful Boundaries.
There's no such thing as a 1st generation Black American, you are a descendant of American Negroes and a result of American Chattle Slavery or you are something else. Respect your country of origin and the identity that wasn't actually stolen from you. Ppl really don't get it...
We can all recreate some version of that. Emigration is a long process (mentally, financially, administratively, logistically), but during those years you can visit the place you're interested in and start making friends there. Those people can be your support network and transition guides when you arrive. I moved to Montreal from DC in 2021: a 20-year journey for me, but in 2019-2020 (until the pandemic), I came to Montreal every 2 months for 2-week periods to better understand the reality of what I was signing up for.
Has it been a perfect experience? No, but a lot of that is related to moving during covid, and learning to drop some of my foul American attitudes.
Is it 1000x better than living in the USA? Oh hell yes!
(And like one panelist noted, choosing a place where the US dollar is strong makes expatriation a very sound financial move in some instances. I live in Montreal in a way that I couldn't fathom affording in the USA.)
You can do it too. Motherland will accept you for being Black.

We have been here for about 8 generations. How is it that all of a sudden we became Africans straight from the motherland? We are culturally Americans.
Neither you nor Whites own the land. It was obtained through the shedding of the blood of the rightful owners. Only them (natives) can rightfully claim ownership to the land. Plain and simple!
@@XY-rh3if They can but they won't, the government owns most of the land. I hope they can get their land back themselves. Black people have their own issues to deal with. Let them go to Washington to regain ownership of their land. Why do people inject Native issues into Black forums?
I think we need to have real conversation about Africa as an option. I went to Johannesburg last year and going back in September, and it is beautiful with very similar infrastructure. Living in a country where racism is almost non existent is a felling only people that have traveled to Africa understand.

Very true. There is no utopia. But issues come in degrees of intensity, and in the USA, it's a 98/100.
If one can find a place that's 50/100, that's 48 issues that you no longer have to deal with, and/or a lot more time and energy to address the remaining issues, if you feel like it. America just keeps us too exhausted to address anything meaningfully, and so things are just getting worse.
It is time to recognize that this is our country. We were here when the foreigners came here and we will be here when they leave.
Exactly! It's amazing to see people whose people came here because of what our ancestors fought for tell us to go to Africa. Especially since people from their countries are coming over the U.S. border by any means necessary to receive resources our people have been pushed away from by many so called immigrant Black politicians. How does this equate with Black Americans should go to Africa? Any Black Americans who descend from slaves in this country listening to these compromised individuals need serious help! Our entire history and culture is attempting to be stolen right under our noses, but we trust these individuals?

Many Puerto Rican, and Cuban "Mambo musicians and singers" have traveled to perform in places like Ghana, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Angola and say those places are BEAUTIFUL. They have even written songs about these African countries they have been to. They do not pass up the opportunity to go there to perform because of the AFRICAN Roots that we Puerto Ricans, & Cubans, and other Latinos have. Also apart from the genetics and the cultural similarities, there is the feeling of being connected through the music. This was a good news piece as an overview. Got to see ROLAND MARTIN for MORE info.
This is our country how? Please share with the rest of us what in your life time has convinced you that America is Black People’s or African American’s country? Born and raised here for 40 yrs and not one day, not-a-one, have I ever reflected and thought to myself, “ man, this place must be ours?” I Grew up in a 2 parent household , good up bringing , we had everything we needed, and never stressed our parents out over the things we wanted and didn’t have.
If you are Black in America and grew up with less than this and at this point still feel like America belongs to you then you are delusional.

So, If I Don’t feel like America belongs to me after all these years with the life I’ve had so far, I sho damn well know a lot blacks my age or older cant feel much different with less.
We love to say our ancestors built America and all this feel good smoke, but at the end of the day, African Americans are simply guests in another mans house. And we are reminded of that fact everyday. Hell, you cant turn the Tv on or launch youtube without being reminded of how much “this is NOT our country.” Not saying everybody must pack up and leave, cause we all know that aint gon happen, but at least understand the reality you are living in. We have become so great at normalizing and internalizing pain and abuse that we now embrace suffering. If we are so proud that out ancestors built this country, but yet dont have the Ballz to stand up, defend and take what our ancestors built, what is the point in repeating these useless statements and phrases.

Roland said it correctly. Do not go there to change them. Accept their culture.
I wouldn't go there to change them. However I don't have to accept a culture that's been a proven failure for centuries. I would just live my life, and I would respect others by not trying to impose on anyone.
Been to the Mother Continent a few times. No matter where you go. I agree with Roland. Do not be the arrogant American. Learn and appreciate the culture. Trust me, a whole lot of people in many African Countries are doing well for themselves. There is no perfect place or situation in Africa just as there is no perfect place in America. I encourage all Black Americans to touch down on the Continent at least once in your life. It will change your perspective and open your horizons.
MOST AFRICAN COUNTRIES DON'T WANT BLACK AMERICANS TO MOVE THERE. WHY? WHEN AFRICANS MOVE TO THE USA THEY SEEM TO DO FINE. THEN WHY DONT THE BLACKS AMERICANS WHO WERE THERE FOR GENERATIONS DO FINE? SO WE CANT SAY ITS A RACE THING. ITS A MINDSET THING !!
@chavis6314 Roland is getting kickbacks from travel bureaus.
I am leaving here and the central reason is racism. I am not interested in moving to Africa because it feels too far away and also it is expensive!!! I am slowly traveling to find my new home. This country does not love us and proves it everyday of our lives.
We are free to move around and we owe this country nothing.
We owe this country nothing but this country owes us everything you have bones buried here why leave I'm sure that you have people in your ancestry for or in one of the wars this country waged on other countries. your family spilled blood here, you belong here don't allow racism and white supremacy to make you want to move, fight for it.
@@MJohnJordan We were brought here as slaves and treated worse than animals. My family on both sides fled the south because of horrible racism 100 years ago. When Jim Crow ended and my family was allowed to leave the ghetto in Chicago they moved to the far suburbs and then to a small town in Michigan where the whites burned our home down because they didn't want us there. I am just continuing to seek refuge and happiness the way my family always has. I believe that is more important then to stay in a place where our history is mired in pain. I am not going to live among my enemies just because my ancestors could not escape them. I am free and I am out of here.
L’Wicked Girl: I agree with everything you said, I do wish we, as Black Americans, could support each other in moving to either Africa or anyplace safe and welcoming to us. It’s been on my heart for many years now.
When I finally decided to move to Canada last year it was greatly due to two intractable truths about the USA: they don't care about us, but they also don't care about themselves. When I saw that America didn't even do anything when affluent white children were killed, I knew it was a matter of time before the country imploded. A lot of what's happening in America now is because even whites can see the writing on the economic wall, and they're terrified of the future. The way I saw it, if they're terrified and America was ostensibly created for them, we need to be quadruply scared. I say: get out while you can -- if not physically, find a way to have some of your money outside of the USA. I hate to say this, but sh**t's about to go down in America. It has already started.

The American government has brainwashed blacks so much that they hate Africa and anything that looks like them.
America is fearful of the day blacks will return to the motherland. They'll go bankrupt!!
When God freed the Israelites from Egypt, he led them to Israel where they belonged. They had no means of transportation, but they did it anyways... Blacks are the only people freed from their oppressors and chose to stay. Sadly, we beg them to make our lives BETTER. No Pharaoh, let my people GO!
Preach!👏🏾👏🏾 It's sad the only way to tantalize some black American to want to visit let alone move to Africa is to show how many white westerners buy and own property in Africa smh, yet tell us its a horrible place 😒
We know they created civilization and all of that and the history of great kingdoms and cities from ancient days to the Middle Ages. But they sold us bruh. Some folks were stolen but most were sold
@@johnbrown4949 Do you know Africans who have sold your ancestors or are you repeating what the whites told you? Yes, some village chiefs or some people who had power participated in slavery (crime organized by whites). The first victims of slavery were the Africans who saw their families torn apart. many Africans fought to the death to preserve the continent and gain freedom. Without the acts of resistance of several of our ancestors Africa would be totally white today, there would not even be any more blacks on the continent. It's 2022, educate yourself and stop being naive
So many say they have been mistreated by Africans. That's why many wont go.
Da IBM:. This is home for African-Americans. Our ancestors have shed blood, sweat and tears in this land. We are invested in this land through our ancestors. If we up and leave we have disgraced all of those people.

I'm American, married to a Bahamian 28 years, I moved to the Bahamas in 2007, I love it here. Honestly I feel at home here, I feel like i been living here all my life, I believe the Bahamas is my destiny. I don't miss the States,, especially because of the political climate (thanks to Trump). II have no plans to move back, have no desire to. I had no problem adjusting because I used to visit quite often before the move. One thing that I love about the Bahamas is seeing people who looks like me, in all walks of life, in various professions. Like the saying goes, "It's Better in the Bahamas," such a true statement.
That’s just different than Africa. That’s literal paradise if you have the money
Good for good luck I'm American my ancestors bones are buried here bye
@@dame654 okay he's American too
If black Americans want to go to another country! I would prefer the Bahamas! Than any other country!!

WT came up with this idea that we as black folks need to “go back to Africa?” 🤦🏽♂️ I was born in the US and raised in the US. I’m not going anywhere
OKAY??? STAY 😂
You will continue to missed peace
Good for you, because you know you will never have it as good anywhere else as you will here.
Its a personal choice every one should have choices. As Africans we support any decisions you make,
and your Ancestors are with you and will support any choices you make.
Try get out of the comfort zone which is not healthy for you guys.
Leaving the U.S. is an *Individual* decision; Technically True, and I agree. However, Most humans do not think on an _Individual_ basis. As humans we are social, and tend to group ourselves. Even when the groups we "think we belong to" have been contrived for us, to control us. This whole "I'm Black Thing" only applies in America. Everyplace else I have been, people are _generally_ grouped by nationality.
As a American (nationality), of primarily African ancestry (ethnicity, culture, tradition) who lives part-time in the US, SE Asia, and North Africa, visits East Africa often, and has lived in Brazil... I find this _Assumption_ that American persons of African ancestry default to "moving *_back to Africa_* shortsighted. I am just as at ease in Malaysia and Brazil, as I am in Morocco or Tanzania. All of Europe, for the most part, as well. The _World_ is open - if one has some value to bring to the table - why limit oneself?
Where I am not at ease, and where the background stress slowly shortens my lifespan, is the United States.
I agree. But there are some Africans that see "African Americans" as Africans in America. I don't think it's that simple. I can think of Nigeria, though, an invented country, and there are so many ethnicities there with the largest ones being Hausa, Fulani, Yuroba and Igbo. They have overlaps but big differences. So, if you go to Keno in Nigeria vs. Port Harcourt or Lagos, it's going to be a different feeling altogether. You're going to seem American any place you go.
I'm familiar with the USA and the northeast in particular and when I travel I'm not at ease because I'm not sure of what the dynamics are in a certain place and also, if you don't know the language you can't communicate with some people. But if you want to venture out, the world, as you said, is open. Explore and discover.
Very needed topic. This should be at the top of the list for all of use.
EXCELLENT! Thank you for addressing this topic SO well!

I’m a Western girl (woman) and I agree with you that the wealthiest African Americans haven’t moved to Africa or another continent. They’ve stayed here and visit other countries, so that says a lot. Also, not all of us identify as black. My skin color is brown, so I identify as African American.✌🏾
@@kevinshea5819 God is going to use Americans to shut that down, IF the donations are not used appropriately. I don’t know the facts about it. However, when African Americans follow what the WRONG Caucasian Americans do, they pay the price for misappropriation of donations.$$$$$$
Three comments on that:
1) In 2021, black Americans spent $2 billion on Air Jordans. So, we can start there in terms of having savings.
2) Poor people immigrate by the tens of thousands every day all over the world.
3) There's all manner of things we do that others can't afford. Should we not buy cars or homes, or go to university, or take vacations, or even (God forbid) buy the aforementioned Air Jordans just because there are people who can't afford those things?
Besides, as an expat in Canada, I know that there is a lot I am doing here that benefits black people in the USA, the least of which is representing us here and building international good will for our people. So, if you ever need to move to Canada because the USA is no longer inhabitable, the groundwork is being laid here and you'll be more warmly welcomed. 🙂
My ancestors sacrifice and died defending this country, I am not going to leave. You may not experience racial discrimination but there is tribalism, elitism, the grass is always greener on the other side, until there are too many of you coming.
I agree, I'm staying right here! African-Americans made this country wealthy--our great, great, great-grandparents slaved too hard and too long for us to up and run! No, I'm staying right here!

Running away from our problem is not the answer
USA is not your problem but your problem is your kind of which your kind is concentrated in Africa.
Every child grows to be of assistance to it's parents and to reach a milestone from where her parents ended.
When you have a base of your kind then every nation will respect you.
When there is strong racism in Africa then the non African societies will fear all Africans and repent from teaching the world racism.
This will happen when you come back to Africa and create your heaven.
Chinese have their own Heavens,Indians has their own Heavens and even the Arabs have their own Heavens .
It only you who go to different strange places to spend your hard earned success.
In Africa you will always be a child that reminds someone of somebody they miss.

You make an excellent point about emigration requiring lots of money. But it doesn't require being rich. Most people could emigrate with the funds required to put a down payment on a house.

Where in the piece to hear snybody say "relinquish" your American citizenship? Where?
That’s what, I believe the president of Ghana, wanted African Americans to do in 2019. However, please be aware that Africans tend to be jealous of African Americans in Africa and the United States, due to the lifestyles that we have here compared to the lifestyles they have had in Africa. Also, the African Slave Trade involved Europeans stealing Africans AND Africans TRADING Africans.

Definitely hold onto one's US citizenship. But a thing not really covered in the segment is this reality: in many places in the world, as African Americans, we have all the status of simply being Americans. Here in Canada, I'm the American Guy... which means that I mostly get treated as just a guy, which is what I rarely got in America. And I can attest: feeling that freedom just to be you first is life-changing and empowering.
You can't escape racism. I would love to visit for the experience and hopefully some relief, even if temporary.
please study what racism is... it is not an emotion it is a system....

Facts! It’s good to go to the motherland and get a sense of where your ancestral lands are. An feel a deep connection. But my Ancestors fought and died for this country. An built this country as well. i be damn if I let these bigots and racist win, an run me out the country. We should try to help these African countries grow and become more prosperous.

There are those of us that want to stay and those of us who want to leave. As AA's we have a God given right to do both. I just think whatever the decision we reach out to each other in Africa or America (the west) and commit to doing business and trade together to build the communities we want for ourselves.
I think you're more than likely going to regret that. Sometimes in life a person has to take a loss. I think black people need to bc we've put a lot into this country and gotten nowhere not even appreciation. I think that's pride messing with you. While I do understand where you're coming from, it's just not worth it at this point. It's not safe for us here. It's just not.
This segment spoke to me. I didn't move to Ghana but did move outside of the U.S. I feel so much peace now. No place is perfect but I'm definitely happy with my decision. I agree with Roland about not being the arrogant American and leaving those U.S. expectations behind.

Many Puerto Rican, and Cuban "Mambo musicians and singers" have traveled to perform in places like Ghana, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Angola and say those places are BEAUTIFUL. They have even written songs about these African countries they have been to. They do not pass up the opportunity to go there to perform because of the AFRICAN Roots that we Puerto Ricans, & Cubans, and other Latinos have. Also apart from the genetics and the cultural similarities, there is the feeling of being connected through the music. This was a good news piece as an overview. Got to see ROLAND MARTIN for MORE info.

Excellent point Roland, "Don't move to Africa as arrogant Americans...looking down on people!"
Don't give in..don't runaway...you have every right to be in America as everyone else.
That's not the point that point is stress
As a Nigerian I always chuckle to myself and shake my head when I hear Black Americans talk like this. I don't know what fantasy you have in your heads about Africa and what you imagine your life would be like if you came here. Whatever "struggles" you think you're facing in America, if you think moving to Africa is your solution, I must say you're sorely mistaken.
This are democratic shields.. They want us to leave, but they will be alright!! We aren't going anywhere..
Katung Shija ....... I respect your position. I used to say the same thing ; until I set foot on the blessed continent of Africa. I live a good life here in America. However, psychologically and mentally I am torn about my future and the future of my children in terms of peace of mind and safety. One thing I noticed when I was in Africa. If Africa was so bad , why in the world are there so many WHITE FOLKS HERE IN AFRICA.
I too chuckle when I hear Africans moving here and thinking life is going to naturally get better for them. You haven't been here long enough to see this country for what it is. Africans have been brainwashed and don't understand the power of having numbers. Africans come here and don't understand what they see here now is a relatively new reality that can and most likely will be taken from them when America sees fit. Africans don't yet understand the legal system here and are being blinded by the bright lights..You haven't experienced white flight and what that means. You think you're being accepted but you have no idea. Predatory lending, gentrification, double standard in sentencing guidelines and police brutality. Keep smiling and coming you'll learn though.
Yeah, but isn’t Ghana more developed than Nigeria? That coastline is a postcard.
@Titi milo I wish them all the best.
All Black ppl are not from Ghana and the ppl in Ghana are suffering for the most part. Why would Black Americans want to go to 3rd world country and be treated as an outsider?
African Americans must know that Africa is ready to Host Them and most importantly Respect them as they are equally within Law. Their personal Visit can be helpful to make an informed decision. Ghana 🇬🇭 is Always Ready for You!
I’m all for the return. However I think we should be cognizant of the class disparities amongst the black community who can afford to go to the continent or the Carribean and set up shop.

Emigration is highly personal choice. The important thing for us as black Americans is to understand that we have options, that if we want to leave we can, that we're not obligated to live with our abusers.
Yes, our ancestors faught for America, but having to fight people for centuries? Perhaps the Universe is trying to send us a message that, despite our best efforts, it's not working.

I remember as a child watching the news, and hearing "Go back to Africa," hurled by hateful racist white people. You could just hear the disdain, and disgust in their voice as they would spew the "Insult," of being sent back to Africaat black people, during one protest or another. Now black people are literally doing just that. I wish you all well, but I am American born and raised, I know nothing about every day life in Africa. Everyone wants to sell a dream, and it all sounds good, until reality hits. We're going to experience adversity, no matter where we are. We're a people everywhere (all over the world), but seemingly belonging nowhere. Just makes so sad.

Interesting because Caucasians and Europeans are an allies of the African elites and are welcomed with open arms not just in Africa but by the natives in everybody’s land around the globe and have been catered to and placed upon a pedestal as if their gods and goddesses while they in turn have disdain in their hearts towards those uplifting them. While citizens here in America are being bullied out of their land, Africans are also fleeing from Africa to America complaining of tribalism and corruption but yet here in America doing the same thing and speaking abusively towards ppl they don’t even know or understand.

I understand why this is an important story but putting it on MSNBC..? Why do we not understand that announcing your next move is a no sometimes, especially on a national platform.
As an African I agree let's just do
let's work together and not announce it to anyone
Really? Pls stop have a linear thinking. Tiffany show is about always things black. Rashida Jones who the President at MSNBC is black. There many black producers behind the scenes who want to their black voices heard and push for black stories.
@@1thetvzone President and owning the network is two different things. That's like saying the network and media can't be racist and still operate as so because they have a black president or news anchors. It's the same argument heard when we had a black president of the U.S . Is media linear? Can more than one type of mindset watch it? Yes .Can two different individuals of different backgrounds get two different observations from it? They can. Some may be positive and others may be negative.
@@deme_w So a black president at a media company can't put a black perspective and have a black agenda on it cable properties? How many white President push mainstream agenda and nobody said anything about it?
Black Brilliance ALWAYS 🌍✊🏾
I am from New Zealand/Aotearoa.I am a caring person.I think the international community must unite to help black Americans to be fully loved and welcomed as equals in America.
lol. A person from West Africa, A person from Trinidad, and a person who has Haitian lineage speaking on what Black Americans or African Americans, whatever you want to call us, to do. What a joke of a panel.
Iam a Black German, grow up there , and over here is the live also Equal. There is no differences, between ethnic groupes. live is much safer, than in the USA too.
Make a transition (Exodus) as soon as possible 🇬🇭 here in Ghana just like your brethrens here.
As soon as they run my reparations I’ll decide when to stay or go, and I’m already leaning to BOUNCE
"run my reparations" lmao. Always got a hand out..lol. Do you know what the great Jim Brown once said..."blacks buy what they want and beg for what they need"...let that sink in as you wait for you lol reparations.
@@kevinshea5819 I live in California and I’m doing quite well, America has paid reparations to everyone else she has harmed. Only stating the obvious. Read a book
@@JohnThomas-iy7qj keep an eye on the mailbox I'll send a check out. Thanks for the read a book advice. Act stuck, stay stuck. I'm going to say a prayer for you. Peace, my friend.
@@kevinshea5819 don’t need any prayers from you, I pray for myself.
then you wont be moving
Very interesting topic. Love it
I’m white, married a Kenyan, and live in Africa now. I love it here. America is too weird now
African descendants of america slavery collectively have no connection with the african many countries. The romanticism of going back is an absurdity, because no other ethnic, racial, religious, or marginalized group entertain that thinking. In fact immigration from around the world proves that.
i take it your self hating self will say the same about the german donald trump and all the irish americans and the italian americans...everybody romanticizes what they feel dear... your hatred of africa should in no way infringe on the love others have for her.... sleep well.. Africa will be here for it was here before the others....
I love Africa and would love to visit Africa but here in America the Africans do not treat us black Americans well. They have very much discussed with us black women of America. I've only met one that showed me any love, care, or concern.
Don’t beg them … hang and get love from your FBA family…. We are here for you….much love sis
that is my take on it and i have an african brother in law he is distant and concieted. my mom had to get him together if he wanted to be in our family. if they have money it’s even more of a problem. as he and my sister are well off so he thinks he is the patriarch my father is passed. it may be their way but they seem to want you to make the adjustment and not them.
That may be your experience here however that's not necessarily everyone's experience in the US. When you visit Africa you may seek a different connection.
let's not let me them divide us, as Africans I can say not everyone is like that.
Africans generally we aren't treated well wherever we go in the world so at times people develop defence mechanisms, that aren't always the right ones.
but anyone who treats you that way is.not doing it according to our culture.
AA and "Black" people in the Diaspora are saying they are "considering" if they will be comfy if they move to Africa. Okay it's understandable to plan and worry about logistics before making such a big move.
But what doesn't add up is that meanwhile we in Africa are up in arms becuase of sooooo many people who come here from India and China and so many other nationalities. More so that "SOME" of them bring their racist and caste mentality to Africa.
I would really love to see AA and "Black" people coming to Africa, investing here, opening up businesses - working with us Africans. There are so many areas that have potential - manufacturing, arts, sports, theatre, engineering, medicine you name it.
I do understand that AA and people from the Diaspora need to have money in order to come here but that's were collaboration and planning is needed. We need to move away from the limitation mindset to the growth and abundance one. What is it that people have that can build out continent, in terms of funding, skills, experience.
Right now I have forever been hearing most African governments competiting for the same pool of foreign direct investment - is it so wrong to say why is there no energy spent on attracting Africans /local investment and Diaspora and African Americans to invest in Africa 🤷✌️🤭
MOST AFRICAN COUNTRIES DON'T WANT BLACK AMERICANS TO MOVE THERE. WHY? WHEN AFRICANS MOVE TO THE USA THEY SEEM TO DO FINE. THEN WHY DONT THE BLACKS AMERICANS WHO WERE THERE FOR GENERATIONS DO FINE? SO WE CANT SAY ITS A RACE THING. ITS A MINDSET THING !!
BEHOLD THE MASTER RACE
Brother & Sister from USA , we welcome you with open arms in Africa. Come to see there's a lots of opportunities available for you. As Roland talk about be open to new ways of thinking and living and enjoy be free.
Go to a place where cowards are fleeing? I think not! Calling Americans arrogant when these Africans come to America with unparalleled amounts of disrespect!?!?! You have got to be kidding!
Agree, Africans think that they are superior to African Americans. The Ghanaians refer to them as “Akata”. I don’t know what it means, but I am quite sure it doesn’t sound pleasant.first of all, if it weren’t for African Americans,we would have been coming to this country to be subservient to all whites and their oppressive ideology.
Nah I'm good, America is the land of opportunity and besides the point africans break their necks to move out here
You shouldn't have to move. Your ancestors built this country.
Because Europeans have and are continuing to steal their land and resources. Europeans are kicking in the doors and are refusing to leave Africa as you're praising America.
U should move they not gonna allow u to be happy here better go to africa
Yet Whites Asians & other groups are breaking their necks to conquer Africa and acquire all the natural resources it has to offer do some research before you speak… You been brainwashed from the education system to entertain system… Visit Africa before you speak on it….
What opportunity?
Great question Tiffany C. I would not have thought of those moving to Africa as gentrifiers.
Absolutely true Roland Martin trying humility first and foremost
