Many black people see the problems that Afirca has and in their mind they are actually happy to be an American. If Africa was stable and on it's feet, more black people would want to identify with it. Until then, we can't expect narrow-minded people to want to try and build up something, when they can live in the white man's house that's already built and thriving. Unfortunately, we're lazy like that.
You said it more than I could put it. Its basically about Continental Africans not seeing this as african americans not caring for africa but rather seeing this as human Nature. We go the path of least resistance. At the mo, it seems holding on to America, with all its blatant prejudices to African Americans is better than going back home to Africa. Hell even African immigrants and especially their children try to distance themselves from Africa. I think it will take the efforts of a visionary few to see that the missing piece in achieving a unified black people is a prosperous africa. Then you will see a return to home of many africans in diaspora in America, Brazil, Haiti, Cuba, Jamaica, Europe. I mean why suffer racism in America when you could live a better life without racism in Africa. But this still remains a dream. And hopefully the efforts of a visionary few can bring this about.
