I started selling carvings as my friend hooked me up with his friends who carved....then I would import the carvings and sell them here in the US. All was fine until Ghana Airlines went under and Lufthansa Airline double the shipping charges.

If it was all sunshine and flowers and you enjoyed it so much, have you considered relocating there?

It would certainly lower your blood pressure.

It is more dangerous for a black person to live in the U.S. that Islamic Senegal.

In West Africa, familial and ethnic ties supersede everything else. An African-American will be treated politely like any other guest but there will be no special affinity for them.

Absolutely...Thomas Sowell has postulated this MANY times.

Everything African Americans are today...good AND bad, is a byproduct of emulating the dominant group and taking on their culture, language, and religious faith.

If you think anything else, you're a fool.

So. That's normal.

Lemme tell ya...in my 13 years of living in Europe, I learned pretty fast that white Americans ain't all that beloved there either.

Well, that explains Rwanda.

Why give up being the victim when society rewards it.

Let's not forget the about the Cannibals of the Congo or the slave traders of the Ivory Coast.

Such great role models in African Society.

Ehhhhhh....ok....but...

One, we're west African in origin.

Two, what happened in Rwanda was bound to happen given how the Belgians set the country up and left it.

Africans are tribal people first....no different than what happened in Bosnia. Artificial borders have bad long term consequences.
