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.

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.
