This system is a glasshouse and that's why they have to impose their wills on countries that don't have the military advancements, and any country that runs counter to their oppressive nature is labeled an adversary by default.

    Just like we should not have false dreams of USA, we should not have false dreams of Africa either. The variables are different and to some extent the same. I have been robbed by Ugandan police. We all know that you don’t get much out of Ugandan police. And you have tried driving in Kampala and get pulled over, and happen to have a white person sitting in your car, you will see the preferential treatment they give you because you have a muzungu sitting in your car. And many Ugandans that even make it to the internet are part of the upperclass that don’t interact much with the police. You should be hearing from the relatives of those that have died from Ugandan Police in the name of protecting Ugandans from Covid. And those are only getting heard because of Covid. Ugandan police kills Ugandans every year that get less publicity, let’s be equally critical and not sugar coat things with simplistic stories. Both continents deserve people with critical thinking skills that are willing to roll up their sleeves and work towards solutions for the future. If you want change for your fellow man, get to work. 😁😘

Check Forbes list and see what goes on. The majority of black people don't live at the high standard that the white middle-class do. Pass through white middle class areas and see the difference in their homes. They get to go to the better colleges, universities, etc. This goes especially to America.

    Whenever a conversation strikes up about traveling to a foreign country, Instinctively, I always tell my friends and family that I've never admired stepping a foot in America. Not because I hate it, and how would I hate it when I've never been there before, but it strikes me as an intuition that that Country isn't a place to be.
    In 2019, my then boyfriend lost his life under unknown circumstances, after having stayed there for three years and studying medicine.
    Until now, am still wondering what really went wrong, coz he was just doing fine and then the next day, he's dead.
    But to cut the story short, I've never admired that country, and don't think I will ever admire it my entire life.
    So my dear Africans, let's stay home. Uganda is my Motherland and am so proud of the fact that I am Ugandan.

    I was in Ghana last year and most of them could tell we were from the US and others did ask us where we were from. As soon as we said US the response was always, “Oh I want to go there.” We jokingly told a few of them “Let’s switch places then.” I wouldn’t wish this mental and spiritual burden on anyone. No, it’s not all bad but if you’re aware of certain things it can be hard just being here because you’re not always treated like a human. As a black American you don’t realize just how well this place markets itself to the world like some paradise until you leave the country and see how other countries see this place. Pre-Covid when people saw that blue passport they treated me like gold. It was weird because I’m not even treated that well in my own country. It’s all a marketing ploy folks.

Just like they show us National Geographic and Feed the Children when they market Africa as a whole in the west they paint the US as some paradise and you’re right, it’s a lie! There are communities right here in the US that look like 3rd world countries but they never talk about it to the world. There’s a community right here in South Carolina called Blackmon Rd where they don’t have running water and electricity. They have a shed they go to for community showers and laundry but they would never expose that on the main stream. All marketing and lies!

But don't worry soon they are going to get their punishment from GOD. Soon black South African will be crowned, As you saw Miss Universe is black South African, you think why this Jerusalem song is going viral. Its because black people are the real Israelites Africa is Israel not that fake one in the Middle East. I'm so happy about this brother cos he made it coming back home, because Africa will be the GREAT continent soon. Wait and see what is going to happen in the western European countries, if you believe the Word of GOD Jeremiah 51 to the end, actually there are so many Scriptures like Isaiah, Hezekiah etc. All these things are going to happen for real. In fact we've been deceived for decades, that white people are chosen people and black people are curse, which is the other way round they made a lot of lies. And now this is the appointed time for them to suffer this is a payback time. As you see in China there are floods and fire, as I'm talking to you in America there is a fire that doesn't want to quench in California, wait and see the anger of GOD. GOD is the one who is fighting for us, its not even us. This shows that we are the chosen people, we are the real GOD'S people, we are the Royal Priesthood. The Bible says "My people perish for they lack knowledge, if you don't know the Lord start to acknowledge Him and accept Him as your personal Lord and Saviour and spread this truth about GOD and that who are we. You think why they created this Corona virus, because they know very well that the real Israelites have to come back which are African American and other Africans who are in the western Europe.

    One of the problems for us African Americans is most of us have never experienced life outside of this oppression. To highlight what Erasmus explained is it takes time to see the truth when your in a new experience. Most African Americans only know the environment they’re born in. I say that to say the oppression that we experience, sad to say, is what we know to be normal! On top of the oppression, the fears that come with it mentally handicap many people. so much so that they don’t feel comfortable outside of the known environment / comfort zone. I give thanks for the great work your doing African Tigress and Brother Erasmus from Uganda!!!!!

    When he asked African-Americans "How do you do it?" Our answer is, "We didn't know we had any other choice!" Only currently with videos and information like THIS have we learned that there is another way. America lied to African-Americans and told them that Africa was dangerous and horrible with no opportunities. YOU are now showing us that that is not the case. Thank you Erasmus for telling your story and acknowledging that African-Americans are very strong to deal with the abuse we have dealt with for CENTURIES. Now, you are opening the door to a NEW WAY and NEW OPPORTUNITIES.

He should've tough it out for 8 yrs, and fulfill his dreams of become a doctor. Then, go back to be a real impact in Africa. The big money he could've made here would have him confused. It's all about knowing how to fly under the radar. I would love to move to Africa. however, every where as it's pros & cons. I'm still on the fence. I do need to visit and see.

    All Africans Need to have the experience of living in a western country so that they can see and feel exactly how they are treated because of their skin color. In some cases the disrespect is blatant, but mostly it’s the small things, the little “cuts” day in and day out that really get to you. Now imagine hundreds of years of living like this. Africans don’t really understand the power they have as members of the majority. When they look around, they see themselves everywhere. This is not the reality African Americans live with. In addition America is a tough place to survive economically. . You can make it with a solid education in a strong field of study, but even then you put in long hours at work and it’s very easy to wrack up 80,000 in loans to get through University. Americans live to work, not work to live. The key here is being able to pass a bit of economic wealth on to the next generation.
