- The government of Ghana began intensively lobbying Black Americans to resettle in Africa last year, and now, in the wake of George Floyd's death in the US, the country's tourism minister has stepped up the campaign. (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
Jamal Osman has the stories of some African Americans who've already made the move.

Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes
Together we can stop this. Please spread the word.

This is the most contraversial comment yet.
@@nikkinorman4254 I was jocking...
Yes , don’t donate to Africa, invest in Africa ❣️
Invest in your own community. Africa ain't never done a damn thing for African Americans. Rather African Americans going to Ghana, I wish all the ghanians in America would go back.
Donating to countries is a little thing I term "crowdfunded communism", but You're right it is better for Africa itself to strengthen its Own bonds with its countries rather than conmen
@Nefer Baka you think your funny but your actually not, smh people like you these days. hopefully your 7 year old doesnt turn out like you.
@@nkwakutoure lol what are u dumb
Don’t donate to Africa because the donation will never reach Africa
Smart woman, she's retired and has a pension from the U.S. It's probably cheaper to live in Ghana

They literally showed two black Americans and a guy from England.
A while back a white guy and an asian woman tried to live in the ocean on a sea stead. Imagine: 'Why are mixed raced couples moving to the middle of the ocean'

Who you're calling AFRICAN AMERICAN never came from so called AFRICA just a lie created just to steal their identity and lands which is being called thee Americas
And no such thing as a AFRICAN AMERICAN
This could be a really good opportunity for them. They can bring all their skills and knowledge over to help develop their country and add to the culture and economy.
Not really the government's over their are corrupt.
They could start a crock shoe business.

ALL governments are corrupt and for black people I don’t think there’s any government more corrupt than the United States of America.
Gonçalo Medeiros
I assume you are black and are saying corrupt governments south of the USA, presumably Central and South American countries, that those countries treat blacks worse than the USA treats blacks. Interesting. I also assume you don’t think the USA has anything to do with putting corrupt south of the border governments in place. Again, interesting.
@@broadwaysam8405 Most of these governments are leagues above the USA in terms of corruption. And they treat their people way worse than the USA, white, black or asian. If you go to sub-saharan Africa, corruption is off the fucking charts, the national sport for politicians is robbing their already struggling population of any meaningful development, elevating themselves in the process and keeping the country a shithole. I was making a general point about corruption, the US is nowhere near the worst. I don't understand what you mean with corruption for black people, in the US the problem is not the government, it's the people.
I kinda hate how the news shows Africa as poor and dirty with diseases, like that’s not all of Africa
Edit: sorry if I offended anyone, even my own country isn’t that great
Yes. That's like at least a small percentage 😂💔
It is most of africa though. We don't have that much wealth here

I met some black American a while ago in Africa. They really felt superior to the black Africans. It was kind a shock to me. They spoke to them in a denegrating way.
The ancestors of Africans conquered and sold the ancestors of African Americans into slavery, so it's ironic if African Americans think they are superior to Africans.
That's exactly how they behave in Africa. They are Americans period
@@jamalcole1985 Slavery was already common in Africa long before the Europeans came. Africans enslaved other Africans for thousands of years. The Ghana Empire sold hundreds of thousands of conquered Africans to Northern Africans and Arabs hundreds of years before the Atlantic slave trade began. Whoever told you that Europeans started slavery in Africa was either lying or misinformed.
What's more, Europeans have actually treated African slaves better than the Arabs and even other Africans have. North America has the largest number of African descendants other than Africa itself thanks to Europeans allowing African slaves to form their own communities after emancipation. The African slaves sold to the Arabs and other Africans weren't so lucky.
@@momentary_ You are not getting my point. It doesnt matter who did it. It is inhumane. Do you understand ?
@@jamalcole1985 Perhaps, but do you hold a grudge against Africans and Arabs too? They treated African slaves even worse than Europeans did.
I hope Africa becomes a stable and prosperous region!! Good luck to those moving back.

@Nubian Princess Dutch man here. I wish Africa well. I think all people should have a strong and prosperous continent to call home. The way I see it, it's the best cure for any problems concerning race. All all, if tensions over land are nonexistent, what would there be left to fight over?
why is Ghana giving properties to African Americans when they still have so many ppl living in gigantic slums?
This is a business opportunity for them. The educated European and American born African descendants can help bring them into the future. Good for them.
Because we can
@@flyinghighagain7712 African Americans are smarter than ppl living in poor slums?
Average African Americans are ten times wealthier and more educated than most Africans.
Because brain drain will boost the country's development. And the newcomers, who have foreign education and dollars to spend will help bring others out of poverty. This is the idea at least.
It's not like they have much going for them as it is right now, so why not take the risk? This is a limited-time opportunity for the African countries.
Immigrants, when dealt with correctly, have boosted countries tremendously in the past. See Prussia and the United States.
Im not black but I think the fact that people are taking things into their own hands and finding a better life is awesome. I support y’all 100%

Where will you go?
@ethnically american
Exactly, because my DNA places me on all but one Continent.
People have taken others land for centuries. It isn’t “their” land, it was just theirs first. That’s like an Australian moving back to Britain because they took it from the aborigines. But then the Brits took land from the people who were there first. It’s a cycle. The treatment of the Natives was god awful, I know for myself I’m part Cherokee. I have paintings and dolls in my house for Christ sake, but you shouldn’t feel “obligated” to leave.
A Hungarian Knight Please do.
We don't mind, really. It never was mine anyway. My ancestors lost it ages ago. I prefer to live where I want and buy my own land.
Congratulations. I imagine it was not an easy decision to leave family and friends and start over, but like the young man said, he was born last year.

When I first started receiving a hate message from "Electric Spirit" I wondered and showed this post to a friend who is a Federal agent in my country.

If you are going to Africa and you meet a man you fall in love with and he is not able to buy you a drink, take your distance.
If he is unable to spend the evening with you, it may be because he is married.

Black Americans? Let's look at this carefully. Black Americans, "re" settling in Africa. To "re" settle, that means to do twice? Hence "re" Is it not? Ok. If "Black" Americans are doing it twice, then that implies that they're originally from, Africa. If they're originally from Africa, why are they called "Black Americans" rather than what they we're originally called "Africans". Or at the very least "African Americans". You know... African to denote that they're from Africa and American because that is the nation that some of us Africans live in? This question is rhetorical. The point I'm getting at is that they always try to find a way to separate us as a people. Most of the time it works... sadly.
America is our home they played the worlds best jeti mind trick on our people .. we been here
@@jerellmitchell4090 But that is no longer the point. People move about for different reasons. Even if some of us have been in America, Africans were also brought to America during the slave trade. It means that after generations, you also possess genes from Africans who were victims of the slave trade. You can say that you have 2 homes. If one is on fire, it your choice to remain or simply move to the other given more favorable conditions.
Almost every country will take Americans if you have the means to go there.

@@ayanafletcher7897 oh so the black Americans in Liberia can apologize and everything is cool but when the U.S. government apologizes for slavery that went on over a hundred years ago along with the legal discrimination until the 70s it's not enough??? Smells like a double standard to me
So much for the American dream.
From reading the comments I really don't think enough people know or bother to mark any distinction between the different countries of Africa. While it's great that there seems to be a sense of African unity, I doubt how many Africans really care about such a lofty ideal, I think it's also a disservice to Africa's many diverse and unique cultures and countries to be reduced down to Africa all the time. And this kind of generalization is something you seem to see far more inside Western countries with a condescending level of political correctness with terms like African Americans, Asian Americans etc, and you don't see such reductive terms used in other continents.
While some countries do essentially live up the the stereotypes in the West, others are radically different, such as Ghana which is far more stable and wealthy. While African Americans look to Africa as a homeland, most would have origins somewhere in West Africa, and if we're being honest, involved Africans enslaving other Africans to then sell to Europeans.
Hundreds of years have passed since then, and American and African American culture and cultural experience are far different from those of native Africans. There's so many difference that and time that's passed I don't think you can really say that African Americans are returning home. If people want to move to Ghana or wherever to build a better life for themselves then I wish them the best, but let's not pretend that there is such a strong cultural of historic link with the whole continent.
antiochus87 Actualy majority have links to Angola and Congo, not west Africa
@@valdemarjoana625 That might be true if we were talking about the Americas in general, but I was talking about African Americans i.e. black people in the US, though the same would also apply to many Caribbeans. The majority of those taken to the Americas came from the long stretch of coast between Senegal and Cameroon as part of the triangular between Europe, West Africa and the Americas.
African slaves were of course taken from other parts of the continent too, and the Portuguese (who were the first Europeans to adopt African slavery, though Christopher Columbus gets the credit for taking it to the Americas after working the native populations of the Caribbean to death) had settlements along the coast of Central and Southern Africa and used slavery in the period we're talking about.
If there's anything I'm missing please feel free to correct me.
antiochus87 well yes, a vast amount was indeed taken from the coast of Senegal-Gambia... BUT that only makes up about 35% of the total slave trade... see, just as you said how the portuguese were the first, they made brazil the slave capital and harbor ... majority of the slaves transported to there were angolan and congolese... they then were transported to the Caribbean’s and finally the u.s.. during that time it was really harsh to travel from Africa to North America, but it was easier to brazil... só to summarize , the west captured people from the tribes of central Africa , and then they were held as slaves and sold by the europeans , thus meaning majority of the western slaves were actually from the centre... majority of the slaves in America were from the centre as they were brought from brazil.. hence why Angola is the only african country to have a city named after it in the U.S, and also hence why Brazil is the biggest african diaspora in the world, about 6 times bigger
It is unfortunate that so many of us Westerners do not pay much attention to the unique cultures and nations on the African continent. I've had friends from various African nations: Liberia, Nigeria, Cameroon and some other nations. Each nation is different - different people, languages, histories, geography. Most Americans will probably never know what they're missing in knowing so little about the various nations in Africa.
Africa dream now
I can see why. My sister lived there for almost four years and she really misses the feeling of tight community and family.

You can have community and family where ever you are but you have to make it.
@@3DSgeek That's not true, multi-cultural societies fail to be homogoneous because you have groups of different people pushing for their ideals and things they think should exist in a country. Everybody is pushing and pulling for different things and it's a recipe for disaster. Look at the countries with weak border policies and handling the migrant crisis and look at Iceland and tell me which one you think is more prosporous and peaceful. Humans from different cultural backgrounds aren't meant to mix. Community and family happen in monocultural societies, where people all share the same common goal and traditions. People don't want to come to terms with this because they connotate monoculuralism as something that's bad but it's not. If people want to understand a group's culture better, then they should travel to their country as opposed to having it forced upon them in their own country. It only causes conflict and tension, and this is indisputable if you look at the way most of Europe is headed. History tells us that monoculturalism is what bonds communities together, not the other way around. These days and with the media, it seems to villianize this way of life. They only paint this narrative because they understand that it's what bonds people together, and they want as much division as possible.

I will NEVER live anywhere in America again. My biggest mistake was not leaving years ago. Here when police stop me wether it be a random police check point or anything l am never scared or feel like my life may end today. Thats huge and l also feel that the sky is the limit on what l can do the amount of money l can make because there isn't a systemic white racist agenda holding me back

@kevinsmith you’re very right about that
@kevin smith yeah but europeans don't care, for them all white people are europeans.
Meanwhile I am north african born in europe and they call me illegal immigrant that came with a boat, even if I am legally born here and have european passport.
@kevin smith listen, I am born in italy and I hear those jokes every fucking time.
Since primary school they call me "police runner" or islamic terrorist, even if I am atheist.
In history class when the lesson was about the slavery of black people (remember, I am not actually black but more arab because I am north african) and they start saying my name and think it's funny.
It's actually amusing how people claim that european kids are the most educated when they can't even find a difference between a north african and a sub sahara africa, and how they blame me for not being white and "stealing" their job.
You may think europe is an utopia from the turist view, but when you are a resident with a different name and skin colour you will never feel at home.
I never had a country, because one of them doesn't recognize me as part of the country and in the other one I can't live because I am not muslim and don't speak their language.
White privilege is a thing both in europe and in usa, you people don't know how lucky you are.
I'm guessing far more leave Africa for the West than the other way around. I can't see this trend changing in my lifetime.
I want Africa to be stable and prosperous, free of outside meddling. Hopefully, they can achieve that for themselves.
yes. i wish that so much. Africa used to be very prosperous. One of the most richest (some might say ‘the’ most richest) people on Earth was an African king named Mansa Musa. i hope africa, it’s nations and tribes heal from this

Protesting is a way to act.
Subliminal Lime It is, but not a very useful tool most goals for a protest are never fulfilled and it’s just a battle you’ll never win.
Subliminal Lime There is protesting which is just a childish act like throwing a tantrum. And there is a much smarter option that isn’t thought of because they want to go the easy route.
Protesting does get results though.
Jasc Random But so much work has to be put into something that can be viewed positive or viewed into something so negative which is the case with so many protests. You can be so deep in to the ideas of the protest you would forgot what you were fighting for.

The corruption here in Africa is WAY WORSE than America be grateful
Police killing you while you're sitting in your apartment, or sleeping in your apartment, may not be technically "corruption", but they'd probably rather be away from it all the same. Ghana is better in that regard. Lots of crime in the US too. Not that we don't have crime in Africa, but they can afford to live in places away from crime if they live in Africa.
@lavelle williams I hope our brothers and sisters don't come here thinking what you just wrote is true. If they do, they will be disappointed in Africa. We're not perfect. There is a lot of crime in certain places in Africa, but if you choose the right place to live and have the money, it won't affect you as much. I'm trying to be transparent about drawbacks and advantages of Africa so people avoid disillusion and disappointment.
Corruption is in every where but the freedom isn't in every where that's what you don't understand bruh
@lavelle williams I'm assuming based on the wording of your comment that 500 is high in your opinion? So I went and checked how many killings there are in the US each year. I found it is normally more than 10000 and always less than 20000 the past decade. So I won't answer your question directly, because the negativity will frighten people away from Africa. What I will say is that if you have money you can live in places in Africa where crime and conflict do not affect you. Any African will attest to that fact.
@lavelle williams I know you believe that is high. I may need to be more clear. Without going into too much detail, in my nation, we have over 3 times as many killings every year than you in the US have, with a smaller population. I don't want to concentrate on the negative so I'd rather emphasize the existence of very nice areas in Africa. We do have challenges, but you can live a nice life in Africa.

As a white American, I fully support my black brothers and sisters going back to their homeland! In fact, I think the US government should facilitate and pay for it, for all eligible individuals. :)
And it's best for American europeans should go back to their homeland as in 2022 America is not a stable country but european countrys are. I'm from england and I welcome you :)
All non-whites should leave the British Isles/Europe, and encouraged to return to their respective motherland. The space created would allow our American cousins - with British/European ancestry - to return if they so wish. I also agree with the OP about facilitating the repatriation of blacks to the African continent. It would be very costly to the tax payer, but I believe it would be in the best interest for all parties involved in the long run - as it is patently clear multiculturalism does *not* work. I would apply this to the whole Anglosphere nations.
