Perhaps a little reading would lessen your ignorance

LITTLE AFRICA BEGAN WITH a few hundred traders in the late 1990s, drawn by the chance to make their fortune exporting goods from the nearby factory cities into Africa. China-Africa trade has grown to almost USD166 billion a year by 2011, attracting hundreds of thousands of Africans to southern China for both short-term business trips and for the long-term.

Again I ask, what do they gain by living elsewhere ?
The motherland and other black countries are in shambles. We need to work with our own people and fix this problem. By ourselves. China and every country around the globe have milked Africa for all that she is worth.

Economic opportunity. Black immigrants have the same motivation as the majority of non-black immigrants. I highly doubt being invited to dinner was on the list of priorities.

Anytime you can live abroad, it has great benefits. Not to mention the chance to send much needed hard currency back home.

If I ever get a chance to live abroad again, I'm gone in a second.

I've lived in "non-white" countries.

Both good and bad things happened to me.
