Without any offense, you need to just stay here! Going back to Afraka isn't like no dam vacation or retirement plan!!! Yeah America is great!!!...now, stop all the resources, the gold, the diamonds, the oil and other things and America would go down the drain real fast! The sad part is that there are Afrakan people over there being killed because of this great country you love. People dying just so you can enjoy a plane flight, your cell phone, your computer and more....so all that crazy ish you talking because you may or may not know, needs to stop.
If we aren't going back to aid them, then we don't need to be going, PURE AND SIMPLE !!!!
Brother Keita Kenyatta, No offense taking but, I think that you may have misunderstood me. I never stated anything to the effect of americas greatness! I see this country for what it is and has done. I also agree that Africas resources should be used for the betterment of Africans. If from my post above I've led you to believe that my desire to go to Africa is trivial, could you please point that out for me?
I don't quite understand the reasoning behind your last statement, why is it wrong to go to Africa as a vacation or for retirement? Should we go to non Black destinations and learn more about the cultures of others? I think that you're saying that we as Black americans shouldn't just "fly over there, spend a few dollars, check out the natives, buy a few trinkets and come back here just to say I done it", if so I agree. I would only want to go to Africa to learn the cultures/history/customs, that and to help in any way that I can. I'm just not where to start.
In closing, I've read and enjoyed quite a few of your post and generally get where you're coming from. I just don't see how your reply fits my post.
