    YOU said somewhere MALCOLM X's Autobiography blew your mind. It blew mine too when I read it at school in Nairobi in the 1970s. Later I read, and taught, Alex Haley's ROOTS at my school in Notting Hill London - and that made me visit The Gambia in 1992. The rest, as they say is history. I am glad your are IN The Gambia during CORONAVIRUS ... West-Side CHICAGO is turning into a genocidal scene for BLACKS as I write. 30% of CHICAGO is Black; 75% of Corona Deaths in Chicago is Black. WOW! Stay put in The Gambia bro.

    In Illinois, all you need is a birth certificate. You go to the post office, they'll take your passport picture(you pay for it) and you fill up a form and pay the fees. You'll get your passport about 2, 3 week later in the mail. Pretty simple.

Gambia is definitely on my list of travels. You and some other You Tubers have me very interested in Gambia. At the moment my travels are at a pause due to pandemic.

    People can check the department of state website www.state.gov/ for info on how to get passports. It was a breeze for me. I took the pic at Walgreens, went to the post office with all my documents, did the application and paid the fee. Then about a month later they sent the passport in the mail. Make sure to apply for the passport enough time in advance, DO NOT WAIT UNTIL LAST MINUTE TO GET PASSPORTS. EVERYBODY SHOULD GET A PASSPORT, you never know when/if we may have to make an expeditious exit out of here😉✊🏾

    Good i dont may at some point watch this video but your title of this video is perfect for my question which i also will need you to reply back to in good conscience!!! Well with that said like in marcus garvey's teachings yes i agree we cannot expect all black Americans to go africa nor anywhere else outside the U.S. as of that matter especially due to the slave mentality which is almost impossible for some many of us to undo that will cause any nation not to want to accept us as a whole so therefore i get that however according to the convention of UN law internationally when it comes to human rights abuses of any group of ethnicity in a country or territory it at this point establishes our right as black Americans like any other political oppressed group of people to make our case for seeking political assylum to a country anywhere that may chose to open its doors to such assylum seekers and if given the chance there are black americans who may be able to claim political assylum so since some nations in Africa especially like ghana which claims to welcome home blacks in the diaspora than my question to your platform is why are expats like yourselves respectively in said nations in Africa including your adopted country of Gambia are not actively champion to call on goverments of said nations to grant emergency assylum to black americans who actually want to get the hell out of america and i don't mean to really be emotional nor reactionary but at this point its a serious crisis of emergency over here in America where black people are being murdered impunitively at the hands of this systemic racist caste system that the building Foundation of this racist country was predicatedly founded on which simply is not looking like its ever going to end especially due to the disunity of black people and our destructive self hatred for eachother which is why i left activism alone in this country. Our self hatred of over 4 hundred years is too deep to turn this around and those whose ancestors put this systemic racist system in place cant be expected to change this situation so my question again to you my dear black american brothers and sisters expats whose already on the ground with boots on in the continent why aren't you not on the door capital steps of said governments in your adopted countries lobbying for these governments to grant political assylum to as many a number of black americans possibly who can and are willing to leave the United States and I'm talking about those among our people are capable of positively contributing to such nations that would be willing to grant them political assylum. Black americans at this point are no different than any other group of people being oppressed by the system and government their under like in the case of syrians , haitians, libyans, and the list goes on that has a case for political assylum so again i ask why aren't african American expats on the continent period especially in Ghana where its thousands of black american expats refusing or standing by silently and not pleading our case to these african governments that may be willing to accept a certain contigent number of black people in to their countries coming from America??? I'm asking your platform to respond to my question with due respect because black Americans only hope in America is to get out of america obviously the way things are looking here in America. Through racism and our own self hatred of eachother we are being slaughtered like cattle over here and I'm sure you have black american biological relatives over here in the midst of all this chaos that you love. So again i ask why aren't black expats on the continent aren't pleading to african governments in your adopted countries to help fish atleast some of us out of Babylon (America) there are many among us who definitely must remain left behind in America because of nigga slave ways i get that but some many of us deserve better than this hell we as black people in America are still on the receiving end of. Lastly again i ask your platform to give a reply to help me understand why black expats are not fighting to help get us to the promised land. Peace

      I can’t speak for other expats. We should move past someone coming to rescue us mentality. I say do for self. If you really want to escape amerikkka and really believe your life depended on escaping- you’d find a way OUT!

    • @ericbell3986
      @ericbell3986 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@blackacresofthegambia u know i will do just that but no disrespect intended but what you said just more confirmed why other ethnicities are more united than black Americans even when it comes to migrating to other countries like for examples when cubans came to America they also made a way more easier for cubans fleeing cuba to get to America and thats why they are successful because they miami which i spent time in and other groups who came to America as refugees made it more easier for their fellow oppressed people to get to America. So what your saying is that african Americans are disunitedly scattered than african Americans are going to disunitedly be scattered wherever we find ourselves in this planet even as expats. Even the africans that come here America realize one thing and that is "they are all from the continent" which helps make their unity here stronger and lead to making more open opportunities for they fellow countrymen of said nation to be able to get to more easily than it was for them to get here. This is why i dont have much to do with other African Americans here and when i carve a way for myself as you basically said to leave america i definetly wont deal with African Americans once I'm abroad. Its not about escapism its about life and self preservation when dealing with the dynamics of what we must face. But its that willie lynch crab in the barrel mentality your obviously coming off with because your saying your already thousands of miles across seas from America so ur obvious take on it is that blacks stuck in America are on their own and if some make it out the hell 🔥 fire from under massa then good and if not oh well!! Then we wonder why other people dont take us serious and even though I'm grateful to know that african nations will open their doors to black expats from the American diaspora but factually even africans dont take us serious as a whole. And honestly like brother prophet of truth said on his channel many of us black Americans may as well be exterminated since we do not care that much to want to separate together from this racist and get with ourselves so once I'm abroad hopefully soon one day i will keep in mind what you said and not only find my own way but stay my distance from other African americans i may cross paths with overseas because alot of you expats get over their to Africa and maintain that slave divisive mentality thats why its a living hell for 🇱🇷 Liberia because of the amero- Liberia like charles Taylor. And it makes me understand why even Elijah Muhammad said no nation would accept all 44 million socalled american negroes as whole due to our mental condition. And just to clarify i never said in my comment that we need to depend a singular (individual) messiah to deliver us from hell i basically asked why dont black american expats work together on a common basis to help to help us black americans be afforded a oppurtunity to have a easier path to get to the continent than it was for those of you as expats thats over there already. And leave the rest to us at that point to fly our way there. See our problem as a people is also we cant work together without feeling like we will be a burden to each other and than most of wonder why black Americans will never be respected as a group of people in general. But i atleast appreciate you giving me your reply. Peace
