Are you serious? Presidents? Obama was NOT a descendant of American slaves.
Anyway, people in African nations are all of those things as well. You have no idea what people would ha e become. Furthermore, no one know how Africans nations would have developed without European interference.
Idiotic statements.
Clearly Obama was only successful because he was a descendant of slave owners so he owes reparations.

Don't take my word for it. Ask any African-American if they'd rather be living in the U.S. today or in the African countries their ancestors came from.

Been there, done that. First of all, most Africans-Americans don’t know which country or countries their ancestors came from since their entire cultural languages and affiliations were beaten out of their ancestors. And I’m willing to bet the majority today would tell you they would have preferred that Europeans stayed out of Africa. That’s putting it nicely. Definitely heard it many time and agree.

Everyone is better of with their own people on their own land, good or bad. I've never been able to understand why white Americans feel the need to bring non-whites (mainly blacks) onto their turf and then do nothing but complain about it when the non-whites don't assimilate. If no slaves had been brought, no slavery, then no need for talk of reparations, no ongoing divide over race. Same for the so-called "illegals." If it wasn't for bringing them in by the truckloads for low-cost labor to begin with, then no need for a wall being built.
Wakanda looks like a real paradise. Just don't drink the water.

It's not safe to drink tap water in Ghana. In fact, many in Ghana still lack access to clean drinking water and safe sanitation. The situation is better than it was years ago but it still needs much improvement. You can see in this chart provided on the WHO/UNICEF site how the country is doing when is comes to access to quality water and sanitation. For many Ghanaians in rural areas, and for those without the ability to purchase bottled or bagged water, access to potable water is still an issue. Water-borne illnesses are still rampant in Ghana, and diarrhea is still a leading cause of death for children under the age of five.

Many black Africans live in Africa. It's not like a black person must be in the U.S. to exist. And there are probably many African-Americans that would say yes to moving to one of the African countries if they knew which one their ancestors came from. But even then, it's not as though they would be accepted with open arms, and unfortunately, almost none came claim knowing much about their origins. Here, there, everywhere. Everything is a lose-lose situation.

I have been to Ghana a couple of times. There is an issue with potable water......but if you are from Flint, Michigan....you should be used to it. Anyway, you can get by without using the tap for drinking.
Of note, over the last 10 years at least 6 of the fastest growing economies of the world were African nations. I can GUARANTEE you that within 10 years many African Americans will be moving to different countries in Africa.
Wakanda was such a big deal to African Americans and Africans. If you don't understand why....you will never understand what our plight and the impact of white supremacy.
I am contemplating retiring in Africa.....Lord willing.
My father and mother divorced in 1969, when I was one year old. He lived in Chicago and I lived in Houston. I saw him sometimes at Christmas when we went to my parents’ hometown, and spent two summers with him in Chicago. My mom got a whopping $150/mo in support when my dad decided to pay it, which wasn’t until I was a teenager. There was no child support enforcement agency then like they have now. There was no wage withholding for support like they have now. So no, I did not have that advantage.
Money isn't everything. I just love it when non-black people claim not to have an advantage and then so many at the same bring up the differences in intellect, health, and physical appearance. Those three things pretty much dictate how life turns out for most individuals, and it just so happens that most blacks are considered at the bottom of all three no matter how much money they have.
Enslaved Africans were far worse off than if they'd be left in peace in their African homelands. A hundred and fifty years after the last slave was freed though their ancestors are far better off living in America than if they were living in poverty in modern Africa.
So after a two-term African-American presidency and fifty-plus years of de facto Affirmative Action reparations maybe it's just time to put paid to the past and move on.
