Oh no, You've brought up the most forsaken of topics. If you enjoy a dull soup maybe you'll enjoy their rice more .
Ghana might be more developed overall, might be much lower in crime. Might have a better University system. But their rice is flat-out not comparable to Nigerian Jollof rice.
Being a racial/ethnic minority in any nation is probably strange for most.
It makes sense that people will gravitate to places where there are others like them.
He'll still be an ethnic minority in Ghana, theirs's only a couple thousand African Americans there although its growing every year.
Hey - give him credit for backing it up... assuming he follows through. I wonder if he will return here to earn money...
From the link...
Last month, in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. day, the musician wrote an emotional letter to the late civil rights leader and addressed the lack of racial advancement since the fight for equality, which began in the U.S. in the mid-1950s.
"Dear Dr. King, I met you when I was 14 years of age," he began. "You were a true hero and you became an inspiration."
Wonder later said, "It is painful to know that needle has not moved one iota. For 36 years, we've had a national holiday honoring your birthday and principles, yet you would not believe the lack of progress. It makes me physically sick. I am sick of politicians trying to find an easy solution to a 400-year problem."
The needle has not moved one iota...
A black president for eight years
athletes and entertainers make enough money collectively to handle reparations by themselves
his own career - able to make a ton of money being blind
a black female VP
wages for black folk were at record levels under Trump
a ton of black owned businesses
I don't know what he is looking at... Is it perfect? It will never be perfect.
Oh.... he's looking at the politicians. That's the problem. They don't want progress. They need the racial discord.

Whenever you hear the line about 400 years, that's a clue that the black liberation theology is in play somewhere. That's the theory that the slavery in the Bible by the Egyptians for 400 years were likely black folks, instead of the fledgling nation of Israel.
I feel bad waking up this morning, reading this news, and having to call Stevie Wonder a dirtbag. But it’s true. Why would the guy announce his leaving, when Stevie has been out of the limelight for like 25 years? I mean the guy is an undisputed true musical legend and I grew up loving his music.
Why are musicians making these statements?
Last night a band that I liked my whole life sent these woke email blasts to the fanbase. I had enough of their opinions, and unsubscribed. Why are musicians doing this it’s beyond me.
