Don't let the door hit you.

Most US born/raised blacks (or any race for that matter) wouldn't last a month in Africa.

True-

no welfare
no foodstamps
no public housing
no affirmative action
no minority status (they are all black)
if you don't work, you starve


It certainly would be a win-win situation

Blacks could "live like kings" in Africa and the US crime rate would plummet.

Developing nations tend to grow more than developed nations.

Celebrities are some of the dumbest people alive on the planet (which is why most of them are raving liberals).

The fact is that we don't even know if Zimmerman was a racist, there is zero evidence that suggested he was. We don't know if race was an issue at all. All we do know is that Zimmerman was getting his head bashed at one point and shot Trayvon in self defense, according to the Trial. Zimmerman should have never followed Trayvon but we don't know who threw the first hit, and it's not like Trayvon was an innocent angle. He was a wannabe thug.

The trial is over. No evidence suggested Zimmerman was a racist or that he was guilty of murder. And please don't talk about Stand Your Ground, it had nothing to do with the trial.

If black people move to Africa they won't be treated like royalty unless they're rich like Akon is. Most of them will become dirt poor like the locals. The average black person in the US lives better than the average black person in Africa. Not to mention that black people in Africa kill other Black people all the time.

Did Akon ever move to Africa?

Idk...what Akon suggested would be pretty ridiculous for most modern African Americans, as there is little African about them besides their skin tone...

I felt the comments section was where the real stupidity lain.

I welcome the move to Africa. They won't do it though, for obvious reasons. There's no successful black societies in the world that aren't strongly integrated into their european, latino, or Asian hosts.

There's some great black neighborhoods, but that's it. No cities in the entire world that are 60%+ black that aren't full of murder. Yet, impoverished 90%+ latino cities exist even in America with low murder rates (Loredo). At least the non-black cultures have good cities to go along with their bad cities.

About 1978 I was in the US Army, Ft Sill OK. Had an interesting chat with a 2nd Lieutenant, originally from South Africa. He grew up in the aparthied slums of Durban. He told me bluntly that in no way would American born blacks would be welcome moving back to Africa. Why compound expotentially all the problems already there?

I can only guess that you want to see Blacks leave.

Well, here is a question I have for you.

On one hand, there are those who say it would be great to see Blacks leave and "go back to Africa".

On the other hand, according to you, Black Americans wouldn't be welcomed in Africa.

Here is my question. What to do now? If there are those who consider Black Americans that much of a problem that they want to see them leave, and yet, in many African nations, you say they wouldn't be welcomed, what do you intend to do? What to others who want to see Blacks gone from America intend to do? You can't deport Black Americans from the USA, because they are precisely that, AMERICANS.
