the problem: people don't want to explore the unknown aka africa...and with
media reports (that are probablly extremely false) making africa look like it
is stuck in the dar ages (and i am not claiming this is a true statement) well
is there any reason there is not a mass exodus to africa. i mean what do you
expect, news reports say everyone is at war...so we never really know what is
better dealing with racism in america or going somewhere new. on the same
token a mass exodus will make it look like we are givng up, although our
history is intergral to american history. so why should we leave, america
needs to come to terms with its past and move into reality, the us is the
home
of african-americans, and there is no other place we should be.
